Topic: Dean Rioli


  
  On the Long march - News - www.realfooty.com.au
Rioli wants to help young indigenous footballers to have better careers, saying that on his retirement (which he hopes is a while off), he wishes to set up a player management company for Aboriginal footballers.
If Rioli's emphasis on outcomes sounds like Mozart to the Howard Government, with its mantra of "practical reconciliation", or an echo of Cape York leader Noel Pearson, Rioli is not interested in politics of any persuasion, even though his uncle, Maurice, the 1982 Norm Smith medallist, was a Labor MP in Darwin.
Rioli's plans for post-retirement — he is contracted until the end of 2007 and, if possible, would like to play longer — crystalised when Long put him in touch with Jess some 18 months ago.

 Rioli ready to show quality - realfooty.com.au
And Rioli, the troubled, pudgy figure of 2002 who was uncharacteristically suspended for gouging and described rather humourlessly by Tony Shaw as a fat pig, is undeniably something to look at.
And this increased capacity, tested to effect in Bendigo last weekend when Rioli played in the centre against the Bulldogs and changed on and off the ball with James Hird, is at once the reason why Sheedy is predicting a transformation in Rioli's game this year and a significant source for his own top-four ambitions.
Rioli, Sheedy is ever ready to note, was not drafted and only made his way into the league via the rookie system.

 Coach flags change for Mercuri, Rioli - realfooty.com.au   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Mark Mercuri and Dean Rioli traded their AFL jumpers for the VFL version yesterday but might be asked to make a far greater sacrifice to revive their middling seasons.
Mercuri, who spent the first half on a back flank, and Rioli changed on and off the ball from defence against the VFL Hawks in the second half and were integral to a five-goal burst in the third term that effectively sealed a 16-point victory.
That the two were not asked to dominate out of the centre square for most of the afternoon was for a good number of the estimated crowd of 5000 a puzzle until Sheedy revealed his intentions afterwards.
