Exciting first-year forward Daniel Rioli is expected to slot straight back into the Richmond lineup for Saturday night’s Dreamtime at the `G clash against Essendon.

The rising AFL indigenous star missed last weekend’s big win over Fremantle after being required to fly home to Darwin to attend to a personal matter.

The 19-year-old Rioli returned to Melbourne on Monday evening and is set to earn a recall and bolster the Tigers’ attack.
