Out of the 3 guns we could lose, he is the one that hurts the most IMO, and I dont mean just on playing ability.Whilst I see the rationale behind trading him and agree that we should pull the trigger, **** we are going to miss him.
Needs to be a hell of a deal to let him go, 7 & 20 at worst. Ideally 7 and 12 with a future pick going back.
Yeah. He's also 28 next year and hobbles around after every single game. Gotta bite the bullet sometimes. We have a golden opportunity with Bolton and Rioli contracted long term and their suitors have plenty of trade capital.Out of the 3 guns we could lose, he is the one that hurts the most IMO, and I dont mean just on playing ability.
I know, but it still hurts bro, it still hurts ya knowYeah. He's also 28 next year and hobbles around after every single game. Gotta bite the bullet sometimes. We have a golden opportunity with Bolton and Rioli contracted long term and their suitors have plenty of trade capital.
What if he requests a trade? I don't think he will be pushed out.Wanting to trade Rioli is a bad business/culture move by the tiges.
He was the young player that Cotch/ Riewoldt wanted to sacrifice their careers for so he could enjoy the success in the future.
He was also a big role player in the bond the team created over the 2017 preseason.
He is a centrepiece in the culture that is the Richmond Football club.
We lose him the club will slowly dissolve back into the basket case pre 2017.
He is a leader in the Indigenous space within the club, does a lot behind close doors that us supporters just don’t see.
Also, being 28 the start of next year isn’t really a problem. He could easily play til his 33-34 and win another flag at the back end.
Trading him is a massive gamble that isn’t necessary. We have the draft capital to get another high end pick.

Depends on the reasoningWhat if he requests a trade? I don't think he will be pushed out.
Not for me. Get rid of anyone that that isn't fully invested and doesn't want to be here.Depends on the reasoning
I remember many wanted him delisted lol. We will miss him, then again we have an opportunity to go crazy in the draft and believe it’s best for the club.Whilst I see the rationale behind trading him and agree that we should pull the trigger, **** we are going to miss him.

Don’t think it’s that clear cut personallyNot for me. Get rid of anyone that that isn't fully invested and doesn't want to be here.
He does owe the club because he signed the long term contractif he says he wants to go then why not? he played just a big part as Dusty in all 3 premierships and given us a good service.
he doesn't owe the club anything! get some kids in for him as we rebuild and who knows he may come back if the grass isn't greener where he goes to finish up with us!
Happily decline it.What if he requests a trade? I don't think he will be pushed out.
Agree. We need Dan to continue the role Sheeda played in when he first came to the club.Good point re indigenous
If we lose Rioli and Bolton and Pickett that is essentially all of our mature indigenous players and current leaders
What started with Sheds took a long time to foster and nurture and it would be a crying shame to lose that strong connection
If Couthard also doesn’t get another contract it would only leave Mansell and Rioli Jr at the club
That long term contract will be the reason we get over compensated by GC for his departure. He could have signed for only a couple of years and we'd be about to lose him as a free agent and possibly only get pick 21 for him.Don’t think it’s that clear cut personally
No one forced him to sign a long term contract and he has obviously been rewarded very well both in terms of the years of the contract and financially
If he only wants to move now because it’s got a little bit tough and wants to take selfies on the beach in the sun he needs to stick it tough and honour the contract that he signed
Maybe if we were in the window. Now we need to make the most of it IMO.Happily decline it.
it’s not like he has family there that he needs to be with.
Hold him to the contract he signed, he doesn’t look like he has checked out - is in All Aust form.

Two mid to late first rounders isn’t over compensatedThat long term contract will be the reason we get over compensated by GC for his departure. He could have signed for only a couple of years and we'd be about to lose him as a free agent and possibly only get pick 21 for him.

Why? It'd have absolutely 0 to do with their indigenous roots. Our club embraces that better than any other.Agree. We need Dan to continue the role Sheeda played in when he first came to the club.
It would be embarrassing to lose all our Indigenous players in the one go.
I’d actually entertain keeping Coulthard on a rookie contract for another year. - seems close with Dan.
