Out against Freo
Riccardi (ankle) wasn't named in the team selection ahead of a Round 2 matchup with Freemantle.
ANALYSIS
Riccardi was training well during the week but his status was still left up to a test that evidently didn't pass him for an AFL match. If he plays in the VFL this weekend, he should be healthy going forward.

Ready to go
Riccardi (ankle) trained well this week and will be available for selection in Round 2 against Freemantle, coach Leon Cameron informed Thursday. "(Riccardi) trained Tuesday, he'll train today, so he'll put his hand up and he's definitely in the mix."
ANALYSIS
Riccardi missed Round 1 after hurting his ankle but has made a quick return to the team. He scored nine majors in five matches last season and will need to play more consistently to establish a good fantasy value.

Out with ankle injury
Riccardi "rolled his ankle" and will be out for a "couple of weeks," per the club's Head of Medical Cullan Ball.
ANALYSIS
Riccardi's injury doesn't appear to be serious but likely may not be able to play until some point in April. In just five matches last season, RIccardi scored nine majors and six behinds and should be worth monitoring if he can stay healthy and produce like that in 2021.

Boots four goals in game number two
Riccardi produced 12 disposals (10 kicks, two handballs), nine marks, four goals and one behind in Saturday's 91-53 victory over the Dockers.
ANALYSIS
Playing in just the second game of his career, Riccardi dominated up forward, kicking four majors in a sublime performance. He earned the praise of the commentators who claimed he was one of the most impressive rookie forwards they had seen in many years. After a scintillating start to his career, it will be interesting to see if he can maintain this kind of form moving forward.
