    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE WAFL $3.00 ROUND 8 SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 When Matt Riggio runs out for his 200th WAFL game this weekend, he will solidify himself as one of the greats of Swan Districts Football Club. A quiet achiever that gets the job done, the skipper of the Swans will become just the 20th player in the club’s illustrious history to reach the coveted milestone. Riggio began his WAFL journey at Peel Thunder with one game, before being selected by North Melbourne at Pick 28 in the 2005 AFL National Draft. After playing 10 AFL games in three seasons before being delisted by North Melbourne in 2009, Riggio returned to Western Australia and joined the Swan Districts Football Club at the peak of their powers. One year in, Riggio reached the ultimate goal, a Premiership. Alongside the likes of Andrew Krakouer, Stephen Coniglio and Ashley Hansen, Riggio lived out the boyhood dream of claiming a Premiership Medal. The game is remembered as one of the greatest WAFL Grand Finals of all-time, with Krakouer kicking a late goal to seal the Premiership by 1 point. Riggio never looked back from 2010, becoming a stalwart of the black and white army, claiming back-to- back Best & Fairest awards in 2015 and 2016. “To win the Club Best & Fairest in 2015 and again the next season is something I will hold dear to my heart,” Riggio told swandistrictsfc.com.au u Matt Riggio earlier this season.
