Mark Murphy did that yeah?

Could have gone to Brisbane but elected not to be taken as F/S and just picked in draft

He essentially wanted to stay in Victoria.

I understand Johnsons kid might too as well, as his family are here.

Really no different to Blakeys kid staying in sydney through the academy.

If Johnsons kid was any good, im sure Sydney would have lured his dad up to coachā€¦lol

Youā€™re right. We should do something about this!

Wow I had no idea it we had rights to Maurice Rioli jnr too! We should be doing everything in our power to get him and Johnson to the bombers.

Imagine how angry Brisbane, Richmond and Freo would be!

Correct

Weā€™re no chance prying Maurice jnr away from the tigers. Tigers are building a great culture that seems to bring out the best in many of their young Indigenous players. Having Daniel there is just a sweetener.

Coincidently, we will likely pick up Danielā€™s little brother who is the same age as little Maurice.

Get little Daniel Rioli too.
