Richmond youngster Maurice Rioli Junior will make his AFL debut against North Melbourne on Saturday.
Rioli Jnr, the son of dual Tigers best and fairest winner and Norm Smith Medallist Maurice Rioli, will be unleashed against the Kangaroos after laying 14 tackles in his past two VFL games.
“He just brings a chaos mentality up forward,” Richmond coach Damien Hardwick told reporters.
“His chase pressure and all that is very much like Daniel (Rioli) when he first started, it’s hard to believe he is probably quicker than Daniel, to be fair.
“He has got some areas of his game that he needs to improve but he has got some incredible strengths that he brings as well. But if he does play that’s what we will be looking forward to.”
Rioli joins Rhyan Mansell, Will Martyn, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Hugo Ralphsmith and Samson Ryan in debuting for Richmond this season.
