Maurice Rioli Jnr has been dropped for Richmond's AFL clash with Hawthorn despite interim coach Andrew McQualter putting a positive spin on the small forward's refusal to take a phone call from coaching staff.
Rioli sat slumped on the bench after being substituted off during the fourth quarter of last Sunday's win over West Coast when Tigers staff members twice attempted to hand him the phone that has a direct line to the coaching box.
