Player Watch #10 Maurice Rioli Jnr

[dktm]

Vfl standard at best is junior.
Not every Rioli ends up a champion.

 

[Wooden Robot]

He was also off a 5 day break with interstate travel in the daytime Gold Coast heat and humidity where he ran his guts out and was totally spent late in the game.

Trying to attribute an individual player's disposal count to one opponent is just being in complete denial of how the ground was set up.

Sounds like a fitness issue ... which we all know to be true.

When did he start playing competitive football?

. Really quick to pressure and from contest to contest. However his skills are not AFL standard, he keeps running into other people's space and his evasive skills with ball in hand are ordinary. Never seems to break a tackle or baulk around people. Runs in straight lines. No forward craft whatsoever. Fun to watch as a neutral.

Everything you wrote is the complete opposite of his old man. Baffling.

Hopefully in the next couple of years

Waste of time.
Unfit with no football brain.
Hasn’t improved from day dot.

This is unfortunately true.

Has made no fitness gains and his impact has arguably dried up.

 

[Vassp]

Not every rioli has the AFL goods.

Anything less than in the top 1/2 dozen players today he should be banished to magoos and Clarke given reward. Sick of watching him do sfa and hold his spot. Bet his direct opponent will be in their best and repel all day having as many score assists as puddin

Yep if he performs the role the match committee asks of him but you don't notice him kicking lots of goals he should be banished.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I know he’s listed as having no possessions, tackles…nothing after being on the ground for 49mins but I can honestly say I haven’t seen him once; not anywhere on a huge TV screen.

Now been out there for 52:18 and still haven’t spotted him. Where’s he hiding?

The site I’m following has him playing (me 60:06 mins) but clearly he’s not.

He was a late out. Clarke was brought in to be sub and Lefau took his place on the field

 

[Grockadoc]

Desperately missed his energy and pressure up forward today. Port's half backs did what they wanted all game.

Steady MM Louie stitched his back up and was a late out.

Well that’s what lefau was meant to do , mrj looked fine in the warm up

This is a common theme when MRJ isn’t in the side

Huge concern

Beat game i have seen him play. 2 brain fades but he did win MR type contests

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Looked a player today
Well played young man

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Maurice was right in his element today, fantastic game. 2-3 poor kicks but he really hurt the Swans with his tackling and evasive play in traffic. We are a better team with him playing anywhere near his best.

 

[Daka]

If he can fix his kicking up he will be a lock for the year.

 

[tugga]

Exactly the game he needed.
Persist.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

So he’s a high forward/mid after all
