Apparently he's come back in pretty good nick. Midfield time is probably on the agenda.
I’m sceptical his body would hold up under that kind of duress. He can probably handle a bit more midfield time than he’s had but still think he is better off a bit-part mid.

(Big bubbly individual man-hunk weve been looking for)?

He'll have a run through the midfield in most games in 2019 as one of Simmo's 'levers to pull' in his game plan but will always be rotating from HFF as a pinch hitter imo to maximise his impact.
His physicality and impact in contests belies his size - almost Kerr like - and he has the right attributes for midfield; strength over the ball, evasive, smarts, and accurate split second disposal.
His beserker attack on the footy and man is an absolute treat to watch.
F*ck I can't wait to watch this side carve up next year!

Now his lost his weight and some more this year, he'll need to start hitting the gym to get that buff cyril rig.

Ashton Hams is no longer on our list.
and Stringer is at essendon
I also want to see Ryan, Jetta, Cameron, Watson, Ah Chee and Nic Nat get a run through the middle too.
Just to see BT's head explode live on TV.

He is such a smart player, that put him any where and he would succeed.

There is a Kerr-esque quality about Rioli, a happy smiling attack dog! (with skills)
Was watching some Kerr highlights recently -simply Wow! (incl. that flying mark in goalsquare)
But not sure about Rioli being a permanent mid as such, or how his body would hold up to that?
Like him as a classy utility or pinch hitter...having said that, Jetta has him pegged as an
'elite midfielder or forward'...wait and see.

He shouldn't go anywhere near the midfield full time. He's too valuable up forward.

Hams can run through there too.
I’d send Darling in regularly
yes, given our situation 18 months ago, it's now not a bad problem to have -with a few others lined up for the job, seems the whole team is gonna be in the midfield?
Meanwhile another 'West' article on Rioli in the midfield..an interesting sideline in there was this -
"Adam Simpson had delivered a strong message to players — the Eagles would now be hunted and they would have to get better.."
Stating the obvious I guess, but exciting to wait and see just how better they will be...?
I could see him playing up the ground a bit more ala Jamie Cripps one day but he’s more useful closer to goal for the time being.
+ Australian of the year and probably a smokey for the Nobel peace prize.

Gov to the midfield as the big “boned” midfielder we’ve been craving
