Not sure how close you were watching but Rioli's defensive pressure is off the chart.

Was wondering when MBB would show up to support his lovechild.

Eddie was excellent at keeping the ball in as well. Eddie has been running people down inside the forward 50 for a decade.

Eddie could make a goal out of a nothing play....Tutt, Ellard etc are struggling to make a goal out of a joe the goose play...

I think his game evolved (or devolved, depending on your POV) to the point where his defensive work is superior to his offensive work, and I think the latter has suffered as a result.
I do wonder whether Rioli is a little on the outer at the Dawks, and whether he will be the next "buy low, sell high" player to be traded. It is my contention that Poopy-Lo does what Rioli does, less skillfully, but certainly cheaper and arguably better.

Betts had good defensive pressure but Rioli is much quicker and lays a better tackle. Garlett actually was our best for inside 50 pressure acts.

True.
Also, how often did we see Eddie as our leading option? Probably too many, but he was still a go to man. I used to laugh when people said he didn't do enough as half the time he was leading from the goal area with two 196cm defenders on his hammer. They almost always caught him because the ball was bombed on his head.

Might not be reading the tea-leaves at the moment.

The first part of that sentence doesn't make any sense at all. ???

Some would argue the second part doesn't either
