Twitter (If you haven't seen Daniel Rioli or Sydney Stack play, then you might have heard about So while most St Mary's supporters will be hoping he kicks another match-winning bag of goals this Saturday night, Hardwick and the Tigers will be watching to see if Maurice Jr does two things.They're nothing flashy, they have nothing to do with kicking goals, and his cousin Daniel inscribes them on his wrist every time he runs out onto the footy field: 'Run. Maurice Rioli jnr is the nephew of former Essendon player Dean and is related to West Coast premiership forward Willie Rioli and St Kilda defender Ben Long. Port Adelaide West Coast Eagles And he's about to become a stark reality for 17 other AFL clubs who wish they had him.But after the 17-year-old's four-goal, best-on-ground performance to lift St Mary's into the Northern Territory Football League grand final this Saturday night, the football world is starting to take notice.At the end of 2020, Maurice Jr will be eligible to be selected as a father-son draft selection to Richmond, where his father Maurice played 118 games and won the 1982 Norm Smith Medal, or to Fremantle (Maurice Rioli played 168 games for South Fremantle).Richmond is the team Maurice Jr supports and is also where his cousin Daniel, a Richmond fan-favourite, is a two-time premiership-winning star.Maurice Jr has already flagged his preference to play with his cousin and follow his famed father's footsteps into Punt Road — and here's why it makes perfect sense.Between the start and end of the 2010s, two fundamental things changed in football.

Twitter Maurice Rioli Jr, the son of AFL legend Maurice Rioli, starred for St Mary’s as they upset Nightcliff in the semi-finals of the Northern Territory Football League (NTFL) on the weekend. Published on 01:06 Share This Article Hawthorn take on Melbourne in their final pre-season hit-out in Launceston on Friday night.Andrew Gaff admits West Coast’s remodelled midfield is still a work in progress as the Eagles prepare to unleash a near-full strength side in Saturday night’s pre-season derby against Fremantle.But the star wingman is confident an engine room boosted by the arrival of Tim Kelly and Nic Naitanui’s return to full fitness will be ready to hit the ground running against Melbourne in round one.West Coast get a final chance to tune up for their premiership tilt when they take on the Dockers at HBF Arena, with Gaff and fellow midfielder Elliot Yeo set to be among the key inclusions.Defender Brad Sheppard is also poised to return after the trio missed last week’s pre-season defeat to Essendon to play in the AFL’s bushfire relief representative match.“We need to figure out a few things and we’ve spoken about it all,” Gaff said.

And for Maurice Jr and Richmond, what transpired couldn't have gone more to plan.Firstly, Richmond had risen from basket case to become the Secondly, the Tigers had assumed the form of a team So while Maurice Jr's four goals in the NTFL semi-final showcased his already advanced bag of tricks — including a freakish basketball tap to himself and a check-side goal from the boundary — it's his advanced forward pressure and tackling that will have Richmond coach Damien Hardwick excited.Maurice Jr is already inflicting vintage Rioli pressure, replete with crunching takedown tackles and repeat pressure acts, upon his opponents; and his speed, anticipation and readiness to tackle looks further advanced to what his cousin Daniel — who has now won two premierships with the Tigers — showed for St Mary's at the same age.Since 2017, through amping up their tackle and pressure game led by their lightning-quick forward mosquito fleet, Hardwick's Tigers have scored more points from turnovers than any other team.This is what makes Maurice Jr and Richmond — the team which has explicitly prioritised forwards whose He kicks goals and creates them, flashing the exquisite skill, innate awareness and unfailing sense of the big occasion that defines the AFL's greatest footballing family.There are two potential issues for Richmond selecting Maurice Jr as a father-son pick in the 2020 AFL draft.One potential roadblock is how keen other teams are on Maurice Jr as a prospect.
