Fremantle are pressing for the draft selection of Maurice Rioli Jr as the highly-touted teenager looks likely to elect Richmond as his AFL club of choice, perย The Herald Sun.
Along with the Dockers and Tigers, Essendon are also in position to draft the NTFL and Oakleigh Chargers product.
Rioli Jr is tied with Richmond as a father-son selection, is a member of Essendon's next generation academy and could move to Fremantle given his dad's WAFL career.
With his father's prized career and cousin Daniel Rioli placed with Richmond, Rioli Jr is tipped to pick the Tigers as his potential home club.
Rioli Jr is yet to officially choose his preferred club, with the Dockers upping their pursuit for the skilful youngster.
With no APS or NAB League football in 2020, Rioli Jr has undergone a professional training program to prepare for the AFL Draft.
