Wow.

What a shock.

That's literally deflated me; I can only imagine how his family feels.

R.I.P Maurice Rioli

He will be remembered as one of the most influential players of AFL/VFL Football.

Not good at all, worst thing that could happen to the family on Christmas Day.

Magnificent player, great statesman of the game. One of only 5 players to win a Norm Smith Medal in a "non-winning" Grand Final Team (Ablett Snr, Buckley and Judd in a losing team, Hayes in this years' Draw).

 

[rishgoon]

Very sad. True legend of the game. RIP

Christmas will never be the same for the Riolis...
