Rigoni had 33 possessions and was given a second chance at AFL football when Melbourne selected him in the draft.
However, but after having an operation on his back he was redrafted by Melbourne in the 2003 pre-season draft.
Struggling with form, in his last year, Rigoni made several appearances in the reserves Sandringham side.
Rigoni went on to play with the Demons' Victorian Football League affiliate the Sandringham Zebras, becoming one of their best players and participating in the club's Premiership Three-Peat of 2004–2006.
