Wonder if we can hide him.

Never in the world would Maurice choose Fremantle over Richmond if it got to that stage. MJ is a Tigers supporter and dreams of playing for the yellow and black with his cousin Daniel.
I interviewed Maurice and his cousin Shannon on my radio show this morning, I'll post a link later. There was some great tidbits regarding Daniel's growth and upbringing, where Maurice is at and the sneaky potential of Cyril in Tigers colours.

Cyril would struggle to get into our best 22.
No longer quick enough.
No, 2020. This means he can actually play in 2021.

Good article, except for the bit about MJ being eligible as a Freo F/S.
THERE’S another Rioli on his way after Maurice Rioli Jnr, the son of late Richmond legend Maurice Rioli made an impressive debut in the NTFL on Saturday.
Eligible as a father-son selection for the Tigers — where Maurice played 118 games, won two best and fairest awards and a Norm Smith Medal — Rioli Jnr displayed all the traits of his famous relatives, including his legendary father and current day AFL stars Cyril and Daniel Rioli.
But Richmond could have a fight on their hands to secure the youngster when he becomes eligible for the draft in 2020.
Rioli Jnr also available to Fremantle under the father-son rule after his father played 168 games for South Fremantle.
Under AFL rules, a player is eligible to be drafted father-son to either the Dockers (before 1995) or Eagles (before 1987) if the player’s father played 150 or more senior games for a WA club. One of those clubs for Fremantle is South Fremantle.
Rioli Jnr, 15, booted one goal for St Mary’s in the thumping 73-point win over Waratah at TIO Stadium.
Playing across half forward, Rioli Jnr lined up on the competition’s best player, reigning Nichols medallist Tim Mosquito, and didn’t look out of place as he used his pressure to set up scoring opportunities. “He did pretty well, he certainly didn’t look out of it,” St Mary’s coach Ricky Nolan told the Herald Sun.
“He wasn’t the star player but looked every part of it out there for a 15-year-old kid it was quite amazing actually.
“If someone was saying to me how did he play? I would say he played like a Rioli. “Defensively he’s very, very good, he’s a very good tackler. “He’s very similar (to Cyril and Daniel and the Riolis).
“He kicked one goal in the last quarter. He got plenty of the footy and played well. “He played about 80 per cent game time. We rotate pretty heavily up here because of the heat. “We just had him go out there and enjoy it.”
Tigers legend Maurice Rioli was one of the greatest players of his era, renowned for his freakish skills. Rioli Jnr played alongside cousins Ben and Shannon Rioli for St Mary’s, while a large contingent of relatives travelled to TIO Stadium to watch his debut, including Hawthorn star Cyril Rioli.
“I think he (Cyril) was (impressed),” Nolan said. “He wasn’t in the rooms before the game but he there and was at the club after the game.”
Maurice Jnr grew up on the Tiwi Islands but is now attending the famous St John’s College in Darwin, a school that has produced a staggering six North Smith medallists.
Maurice Rioli, Michael Long, Andrew McLeod — who won the medal twice — Nathan Buckley and Cyril Rioli all attended the school before becoming VFL/AFL superstars.
It is understood plans are underway for him to relocate to Melbourne next year.
Cyril and Daniel both moved to Melbourne to board at Scotch College and St Patrick’s respectively before being drafted. Rioli Jnr’s potential has already been scouted this year after playing for the Northern Territory in the under-16 national championships against Tasmania.
While excitement is building at Richmond about the prospect of Maurice Jnr joining Daniel in yellow and black, Nolan has urged for patience. While the youngster is a confirmed starter for St Mary’s against Wanderers on Friday night, he will play a mixture of both seniors and juniors throughout the season as he continues to develop. “He’s got a long, long way to go. It’s a long way from the Tiwi Islands to Melbourne and we’ve got to take small steps and not get too carried away,” he said.
“He’s got to be protected to a degree. For this to work we can’t put too much of a spotlight on him. “He’s still a very shy young kid and the whole situation has to be managed very closely. “We need to temper expectations. Kids have got to be kids. “It doesn’t matter how well he plays, he’ll still go back to the under 16s sometime this year or the 18s, because he can play (under) 16s or 18s.”
Rioli Jnr will be eligible as a father-son for Richmond at the 2020 national draft.

Not eligible
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father–son_rule
- Until 31 October 2015, Fremantle could select any player whose father has made 150 WAFL appearances prior to 1995 for East Fremantle, South Fremantle, Perth or Swan Districts.
You'd assume Freo would get on the front foot and let their fans know at some point.... don't want them getting salty on it. Bit early yet, but the media are loving the drama.

Say for example he was eligible for both clubs who's choice is it?
If it's Maurice who makes the decision than one would think hands down he chooses Richmond. He's going to boarding school in Melbourne not Perth. Daniel plays for Richmond not Freo. His dad is a Norm Smith for Richmond not Freo.

Maybe freo are eligible..
Not worried at all and Freo can only dream
* Maurice Rioli played VFL for Richmond
* Daniel Rioli plays for Richmond
* MJ Is a Richmond supporter
* Mj will be schooled in melbourne
* MJ will be a Richmond player
* Freo can suck s**t
* Maurice Rioli played VFL for Richmond

* Freo can suck s**t
Regardless the player nominates who he wants to play for doesn’t he? Why on earth would he nominate freo? Kid is from Tiwi Islands, goes to school in Darwin and will be boarding in Melbourne as of next year. Father has an incredible legacy at a club that just won a flag (who his nephew just happened to play for). The damn social club is named after his dad. Freo would have to be dreaming?
And everyone keeps forgetting he'll be having Sunday night roast beef with Daniel and Mr and Mrs H. every week.
I realise someone did confirm he's going to Scotch, but St Pat's Ballarat also gave us Grigg and Butler. In the GF, there were five ex-St Pat's players - those two, Dan Rioli, and Matt and Brad Crouch. Fair effort.
