AFL – Four time premiership star Cyril Rioli says he thrilled at the elevation of the latest member of the Rioli family to AFL ranks.
18 year old Daniel Rioli (pictured) was taken by Richmond with their first pick in the AFL’s draft and the Tigers are hoping the 18 year will be just the type of fast and skilfull small forward that the Hawks have in his cousin Cyril.
The older cousin says while he’s disappointed he won’t be joined by Daniel at the Hawks, he’s thrilled that he’s got an opportunity to play at the club of the great Maurice Rioli.
