Daniel Rioli was a standout for Richmond in last night’s loss to Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

The 27-year-old, star rebounding defender produced arguably the best performance of what has been an excellent season by him.

He finished the match with a team-high and season-high 28 disposals, nine contested possessions, five marks, three inside-50s, an equal game-high seven rebound-50s, equal game-high 10 intercepts, four tackles and a team-high 631 metres gained.

Rioli’s teammate Rhyan Mansell was glowing in his praise of the triple premiership Tiger hero during a post-match interview with Richmond Media.

“Daniel’s a freak. He’s real quick, no-one can keep up with him, and love a half-back that can run and kick goals,” Mansell said.
