He was probably our most damaging player with ball in hand bar Young. Rioli got one lucky goal from a port miss kick and one goal from a soft free. Walker was in our top 5 players in my opinion.
Spot on
Actually thought Wagner was really good

It was depressing how certain you felt that Rioli would kick all those set shots he got, each time he won a free or took a mark. And he duly did, every chance. Instead we have Sam Switkowski. A goal kicking butcher.
He really just needs to add a bit of strength to do that. In my opinion his one on one work is outstanding but he gets pushed off the ball when manning strong forwards at times. What I'm saying is basically semantics but effectively I'm agreeing wih you he needs to get better at 1v1's but saying his one on one work will be exceptional once he adds some muscle. In 2025 hopefully Cox and Pearce are at full fitness so we can use Draper on smaller quicker leading types at times. I really think Chapman to a wing and Draper into the best 22 is something that has to happen in 2025 .

We have no small forwards like Rioli.
It’s insane how underrated he is, I think he’s an absolute gun and the ultimate match winner.
I want freo to have small forwards that are so clutch that they generate that sickening feeling in the stomach of opposition players and supporters every time they get even a sniff of a set shot at goal inside 35m. The type that make you walk out to the kitchen with a resigned sigh for another beer when they take a mark within range, because you just know for certain they aren’t missing. The type that make opposition coaches slam the table in the coaches box in frustration because they know well they are going to be punished.
Those types (Luke Breust was another one) suck the soul out of the opposition, both fans and teammates when you have players like that.
You mean someone like Kozzi ?It was depressing how certain you felt that Rioli would kick all those set shots he got, each time he won a free or took a mark. And he duly did, every chance. Instead we have Sam Switkowski. A goal kicking butcher.

We have one, but he's 33 and declining.It was depressing how certain you felt that Rioli would kick all those set shots he got, each time he won a free or took a mark. And he duly did, every chance. Instead we have Sam Switkowski. A goal kicking butcher.

Another big preseason and body and strength, will make him even better.
What is he playing at Peel? CHB or Full back?
With McDonald, Davies and Murphy he could play the same 3rd tall/rebounding role we want him to play in the seniors, really depends on availability though
Well, Cox was coming back from a horrible hammy injury. I have a feel he didn't have the clearest run in his preseason either. So with a good preseason hopefully he'll return to his original mobility.
Josh is quick enough to play on elite small forwards. I really like the idea of him playing a role more like Shane Parker back in the day in that he plays on smalls and talls.
He never did have great mobility though. Draper now is better than Cox ever was in that senses.
What? His mobility for a player his size was one of his strengths.
Yes
