AFL players Cyril and Daniel Rioli will miss their matches this weekend to attend a family funeral in the Northern Territory.
Grandfather Cyril Kalippa died earlier this month, aged 81.
Richmond will be without Daniel for Saturday's match against Brisbane at the MCG.
And Cyril will not play for Hawthorn this Sunday against Gold Coast in Launceston.
Cyril is Daniel's uncle and they also missed a game last month to visit their ailing grandfather.
