So because he kicked 4 goals once and is fast that makes him better than those players above?
You’re really selling it to me

1 hot days doesn't make a summer.
Glen Freeborn kicked 3 goals in a quarter in a Grand Final - doesn't chance the fact that he was a good ordinary player.

You got no idea,no club would draft those players b4 Rioli
5/Menagola -average
6. Gresham- very average
7. Himmelberg- average with potential
8. Phillips- average accumulator
9. Greenwood- wont get much better
10. Tipungwuti- good mature aged player
11. Milera- done nothing
Daniel Rioli- big game player, integral part of premiership team about to move into the midfield. More skill than these others, faster and better player.

But is he about to move into the midfield?
Rioli is very good but being a premiership player or “the quickest forward in the AFL” aren’t the selling points.
You’d be very happy with him on your side, but he’s not ahead of Gresham right now, and he may never be.

I do like him and had him as a smokey for the NS - Riolis generally poll well. But he has to be a lot more consistent to taken seriously as a game breaker.
Well I would be very concerned if he wasn’t kicking goals and putting on pressure. Doing so doesn’t make him a top five player so far but.

yet Daniel was a key reason Richmond made the GF and won a premiership ...
Do you think the RFC hierarchy would accept a Gresham - Rioli trade? if offered
Yeah but its not like Rioli just rocked up vs GWS and Adelaide in the preliminary and grand finals. He was very handy in the lead up. The leader of the Rioli/Butler/George small pressure forward line everyone was hysterical about. When he came back from the inspirational grand final, game winning goal, in which he broke his foot. He helped Richmond come top of the home and away ladder, once again a pretty important part of the machine.
I look forward to seeing him in a more traditional forward line structure for more size; Jack, Lynch, Caddy, Nankervis, Balta. He will thrive like the WCE small forwards i reckon

Not disputing that.
The fact he has tasted the ultimate team success doesn't necessarily mean he's the better footballer.
Gresham to date has been better in a significantly worse side, and I see no reason why that's guaranteed to swing the other way any time soon.
No, but that doesn't mean Rioli is the better footballer. I'm not sure St Kilda would take that deal either.

He's a jet. And top 5 in the draft based on output.

Ahhh.
Now it makes sense.
Greenwood has reached his ceiling too.
Milera has done nothing guys.
Daniel Rioli kicked 4 goals once.

I appreciate I am bias but I dont think saying Rioli is well ahead of your Tipunwetc, Menagola, Greenwoods is not an outlandish call at all

He’s on par with Tipungwuti. He is a role player, any number of AFL players could play that role in a good team. Tipungwuti plays a similar role for us, they do the flashy things well but I wouldn’t put him in the top 20 of this draft. Menegola and Greenwood are head and shoulders above Rioli. Your call about Gresham being average will be made to look very silly by the end of next year

I doubt the Tigers would have won the flag with Tipungwuti mate

So what you’re saying is Rioli was the difference between winning a premiership and not??
