AFL.com.au’s Marc McGowan provides a snapshot of rising Richmond star Daniel Rioli’s awe-inspiring goal in the Tigers’ Round 3 victory over West Coast at the MCG.
The Riolis have a rare ability to impact matches without needing to rack up a high number of possessions.
Daniel, like cousin Cyril, is an expert in one-on-one combat – or, on this occasion, beating two opponents.
The second-year Tiger contested a high ball, won it on the ground near the boundary, saw off Brad Sheppard, then dished to Dion Prestia.
The script was already written in Rioli's head by that stage, and he gleefully accepted the ball back from Prestia, before a superb checkside finish tied the scores in the third term.
