Hardwick has obviously convinced Rioli to leave us and break his contract.

Never expected Rioli to leave the club

Don’t think Hardwick did to much
Would be more his Mrs in his ear

Probably both

Hardwick's new toys weren't good enough to make the top 8.

We will rebuild in 2 drafts

No way we will be competitive for another 5 years. Young players take time to build a body and tank for AFL footy.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Could tell on the weekend he was gone by the amount of times he hit a suns player by foot

 

[tropicaltiger]

Yer this one hurts....
I always felt like Bakes and Shai would eventually head West.
Daniel i thought could be our next captain.

I wonder what Cotch and Jack would be thinking?
They spoke about staying at the Tigs at the end of 2016 so Dan would hopefully one day taste success...

I guess Dan dosnt feel that way about our younger players.

Thanks for the mems

Poor old Jack Graham was running backwards in that clip

100% DE based on that for the game.

 

[jetbhag]

Can't wait for his uncle to run him down next year.

Free Kick Dan.

 

[Al Heimer]

No ifs or buts, Daniel's future kids will wear the Yellow & Black.

Good value of a pick back.
But jeez probably losing the b&f winner and a crucial team member - cultural leader, stings a bit. These kind of players make up the fabric of a club/team.

Wonder what has gone wrong? He’d be highly paid too…

girlfriend loves the goldy, dimma father figure, he's halfway back to his birth place for visits, more money, 3 flags around his neck and maybe a 4th at suns, leaves tigers knowing they are well compensated. no brainer. good on him.

I'm bullish

 

[lumpinee]

easiest pozzie to play on the ground and he turns it over heaps , remember how shite he was as a forward

still the best small fwd @ the club,idiots refused to play him there,RFC 11 goals a game average over last 2 seasons
faaarken idjits

 

[lumpinee]

2 x rd1's or forget it ....will kick 35 goals up there

 

[Handsuper47]

He did a lot of great things for us, and I hope he enjoys playing at a club that's never finished higher than 12th

 

[Madtiger2006]

Thought he’d hang around to help the kids and stay loyal and provide leadership. But walks out on the club mid contract instead. Disappointing decision by him. High pick is great but we’ll have plenty of picks and needed him a lot more than the others that are going. Didn’t expect him to drop everything for Dimma. Oh well bugger off lol

 

[tigersab]

Tigers need to try harder to keep players like Daniel. Excellent mentor to the younger blokes, especially the indigenous kids. Fugg I'm pissed off. Piss poor decision Daniel.

 

[prodigy1311]

blame the punani

lol haven't heard this for a while!

plenty of picks but this could give us another in the top 10

 

[swallace]

Probably a short conversation, Queenslander and extended his rookie contact, but an Ethan Read would be ideal.

Also, the discussion about Rioli comp and the pick swaps required for their 13/20 is the same chat.

Bend over Gold Coast! The Richmond train is going to ram it where the sun dont shine!

IMHO players move all the time but this one hurts cause the coach who jumped off a sinking ship is now poaching one of the best we have! There is no doubt, Dimma would have talked him into it.
Ah well! i just hope we win our next flag before GCS win thier first

thats crap, we left the door slightly open for him to get to the next chapter of his career and life...i'm 100% sure he goes with the players and clubs best wishes....only ones sooking it up are a few salty supporters. apart from melbourne being the footy capital..... still not the ideal living place for most.

 

[Daka]

Yeah that's bullshit. So contracts are worth diddly squat now. Absoultely disappointed in his decision. Can go and get fugged.

Not true but in terms coming out public & asking for a trade yes, but we can't still hold them to contract that's the advantage of having it. if we don't get the deal we want.
