Sad news. Saw him play for Souths many a time in the '70s.

A really really nice man.

Who was heading this way, considering how large he became.

Easy to talk to and was loved by everyone at St Mary's.

His kids are very fair and good natured on the field. Always in good spirits.

I'd be surprised if Ben Rioli wasn't in the AFL system in a year or two.

And Seb Jnr has the best skills out of all the Riolis running around at the moment (16 I think). Although, I doubt he can get fit enough to be anything more than a good NTFL player.

He's certainly a big loss. I just hope his kids stick with it. Because they've obviously got the same temperament that made their Dad the best out of the Riolis.

Never saw Sibby play but if you ask anyone at Freo Oval they will say Sebastion was better than Maurice.

RIP to the St Marys to South Fremantle trailblazer.
