Player Watch #17: Daniel Rioli - Traded to GC, picks 6&23.

[richoplzbreed]

once Judson get that knee back up and running...his run off HBF will be fire.
Will take some time, yet we got players to slip into the spot.

He's a goal kicking hf. No chance he ends up down back. Our fwd line is desperate for blokes who can put that leather thing through the big sticks. Lynch to fullback more likely.

Strikes me as a younger person’s comment. And perhaps I’d have said the same thing 40 years ago. But I’m really happy with him having perhaps his best ever season…while knowing he wanted to leave. I’m also happy he was a significant part of giving us 3 premierships…that I never expected to experience. Not to mention accepting he’d gone from a great to a poor half forward…then sucking it up to transition to a great half back. Perhaps if you have done those 37 years of misery…you’re gunna have a different perspective on things.

I've been a bigfooty member for 20 years. Suffered the same misery as you. I'm old, just immature. I'm bitter and disagree with you, but that's fine. Go Tiges! Boo Rioli!

 

[tigersnag]

Was hoping out of everyone rumoured to leave, that he would be the one to stay. Will win our b&f this year, pretty awkward, but I guess that drives his trade price up.

Really pissed he said he's a 'Tiger for life', then dudded us when times got tough. We have the whip hand, technically we could just play him next year in the reserves, or not at all, as punishment, then trade him at the end of next year.

Or like what Melbourne are doing with Petracca. Gary Lying came out and said 'They're absolutely resolute that he's not being traded under any circumstances. It's not happening, he needs to honour the contract and suck it up'.

But of course since we're the nice cuddly club, we'll honour what Daniel wants and trade him. Should get Pick 6 plus something extra.

Screw you Rioli, will boo you every time you get the ball!

Gary Lyon is a proven liar.
He just can't grasp the concept that his beloved club has become a public toilet.
He thought they were in the midst of a dynasty.
There's clearly issues there, big issues. Both for Melbourne and Gazza lol.

As for us - I think we've made it pretty clear (via Blair) that we won't be pushed into any sort of deals that don't suit us for contracted players. Bolton and Rioli... Even Baker will want us well compensated.

We'll try and accommodate requests, but only if that deal is something that suits us, and gives us all a big boner.
Otherwise prepare to stay Bolton and Rioli.

There's been a bit of grandstanding in the media already from all the clubs involved. Huff and puff.

The reality is, we hold all the cards, the deck, and we own the table.
We charge what we want at the bar and you'll be stung for parking as well.
If the other clubs don't like it then f**k off.
Find your game breaker and match winner elsewhere or in the PSD lol.

Lids a Tiger legend made the move and the rest history.
He wanted out but helped us in the end.
Still a Tiger to me.

Someone told me yesterday, Deledio is Patient 0 of Meehans

Lids our last pick 1
this shapes as our biggest draft since 04 and ~
shiver just went down my spine

Yeah but we didn't have youtube then.

Definitely a dream getting a Palm Beach lad out of the Coast, Simo. They know what they've got. They'd punt King before Read.

That's half of Petracca's problem.

His Mrs has taken over the marketing arm off his Manager.
She's calling the shots.

She's not happy that he's not maximising his earing potential playing with a minnow club with stingy supporters.
With the power of the puddy - He's happy to/ has not choice but to agree lol

Remember when Dumma said there was no truth in the rumour Rioli to shit coast , lying heckin'g campaigner , Rioli just as bad up to the coast on the Bye to map out a deal . F off from the b n f to Rioli you gimp

Neil Balme once said Lying is the number one language within the afl and club staff and players. So true

Yep he was the master at it and used it to the club he was working at to its advantage.

Why the **** would you boo him? Triple premiship player and gave the club 9 briliant seasons and will leave us with a better pick than we took him with.

Who gives a shit what he said. When he said that the club was planning to stay in flag contention for the next few years. Things have changes and its at a point where he can leave now, give the club a very good pick which will help the rebuild or stay playing at the bottom of the ladder and slow down the rebuild by not getting us picks.

Always find it so weird how supports get angry at players because they signed a contract and then left. You know if he didnt sign that contract we would be getting far, far, far less for him. Singing the contract garuntees we either get Rioli or get a great return for him. Win win. Nothing but love for him.

Oh really? The opposition coach didn't come out mid-season and say that he was coming to the club?

Do you all hoenstly get pissed of when they 'lie' about this? THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT MIDSEASON. If you beleived those words, then thats 100% on yoy for being an absoulte nuffy.

 

[partycorolla]

Every club has a glut of half back flankers. The reason being, no draftee plays there in his junior years - they are all gun mids. Thjere are 600+ secondary schools in Victoria, and every one has a kid who's 'the best player at the school'. But when they get to AFL level, every club has a heap of gun mids. So the ones that don't quite make it get sent to the HBF - and, guess what? They are skilled players, so provided they can learn defensive structures, they get a game and become 'club stalwarts'.

If I was GC, I'd offer pick 15-20 - which is what Rioli was drafted at.

Why would you offer a pick that you know won't get the deal done when you've promised the player you'll get him. Makes no sense... which is a pity. The rest of your post was great.

lookin FWD to MRJ growing into his own man with the departure of Daniel n Shai,it gets rid of that little brother syndrome
and over protective aspect that was slightly annoying more so in 2023 than this year,i know hes still young so maybe a bit harsh there ?

RFC starting to get it back on track after more than a few questionable decisions,the butchers gone ,facilitating trades
for 3-4 players seeking to be rewarded along with going home factor being handled admirably so keep it up

 

[dktm]

4 goals in the 2017 prelim against GWS… his game was exhilarating

Have an inkling he’ll flounder without the support network rather than flourish.
Hope I’m wrong.
The indigenous players seem tight and we’ve lost three overnight.

Rubbish , I can see him really growing stepping beyond the shadow of Daniel

Wow...I didn't think anyone posted less often on BF than me

 

[tigerisland]

I am sad for Rioli he is going. I think he will regret this decision long term. He will play his final game in front of 12k people and will never play in another final.
When he retires we will be back competing for GFs. He will be forgotten and will be another team mate at GF reunions. He had the chance to be a club legend. Someone who stuck by the club during the rebuild, who the fans will never forget, the guy who mentored our next generation of indigenous boys. The guy who lead the way teaching our kids the training standards required.

In Blair we trust. Now we finally have some management stability we have the ability to manage all these trade requests.
