Daniel Rioli

Only the sixth reigning club champion to switch clubs since 2010 he looms as a massive Suns pick-up as he reunites with former coach and father figure Damien Hardwick. Has finished top five in the Richmond best and fairest in the past three years, led the Tigers in possessions last year with a career-high 536 at 23.3 a game and ranked fourth in the League in home and away running bounces. Still in his prime and signed until 2029, he will add dash and class to the Suns’ defensive unit as he closes in on 200 AFL games, although an MCL injury in late November means he should just get to the starting line for Opening Round.

Honours

Richmond 2nd best and fairest (2022), All-Australian squad (2022), AFL Goal of the Year (2017), AFL Rising Star nominee (2016), Richmond premierships (2017, 2019, 2020).
