Maurice Rioli Jnr has been handed the No. 10 Richmond guernsey made famous in recent Tigerland history by triple premiership star Shane Edwards, who retired at the end of the 2022 season following an illustrious 303-game playing career at the Club.
It was Edwards’ decision to pass the No. 10 on to the exciting Tiger cub.

Rioli wore the No. 49 in 17 senior games over the course of his first two years of AFL football with Richmond, 15 of those appearances coming during an impressive 2022 season where he kicked 14 goals and provided the Tigers’ team with a significant boost through the elite defensive pressure he applied in his small forward role.
He is greatly honoured to accept Edwards’ offer of succeeding him in the No. 10 Yellow and Black guernsey.
