Exciting, young small forward Maurice Rioli Jr will wear guernsey No. 49 in his debut season of AFL football with Richmond.
His famous father Maurice Rioli Sr had two guernsey numbers during his 118-game career at Tigerland – No. 17 initially and then No. 27. He wore the No. 49 guernsey throughout his time with WAFL club South Fremantle before moving to Victoria.
Richmond’s other pick in the recent 2020 AFL national draft, Queensland ruckman Samson Ryan, has been given the No. 32 guernsey.
Category B rookie ruckman Mate Colina will start his football life as a Tiger in No. 39.
Tenacious small forward Jake Aarts, who played 14 games at senior level for Richmond in an impressive debut season of AFL football this year, has moved from No. 39 to No. 16.
