Player Watch #17: Daniel Rioli - Requested A Trade To Gold Coast

[Lacustrus]

GC have Lombard and others that will take pick 14 plus more.

The pick they want to really keep us pick 6, but for Rioli, this is non negotiable

Don’t think the Dusty narrative quite fits in this case because Hogan at the time was already an established player in the league and his issues were well documented

In Sydney it’s a lot easier to have a normal life for an afl player and walk the streets, go to the pub ect

Melbourne and WA are different because AFL is the dominant sport so a lot more people are able to recognise them just look at the Ginivan storm in a teacup over the last two days

You raised Greene MM. It's all crap as bad eggs are everywhere and if you have good eggs they can help bad eggs and visa versa. There's no truth or evidence of your assumptions being true or valid. It's all speculation and guess work.
I reckon Franklin was more popular in Sydney in the end and got just as much if not more attention.
Stack was a nut case no matter where he was. It's about maturity and maturing as a person. Some do this later and some never grow up . Nothing about locations in Australia, but more the professional and family environment or culture the club has to develop a human being 's maturity and qualities.

Think you have missed my point I was referring to the media and being recognised in Melbourne is at a higher level so it makes it more difficult for players who might be having challenges to slip under the radar and get the help they need without that extreme level of public scrutiny

Players who play for Melbourne clubs and WA clubs have their issues scrutinised and followed a lot more compared to other states

If you look at it this way if I was walking down the street in Melbourne I could probably recognise maybe one 1 Melbourne storm player if I was lucky and absolutely zero from any interstate because the Melbourne based media that I am exposed to don’t make NRL related story’s as leading story’s on the news, back page newspapers or Melbourne based social media

No i'm sorry there's 800 players roughly in the AFL and there's only a few squeaks a year that you hear and most are media hype to sell papers or reporter trying to big note themselves. It's all miniscule and clubs are more professional in educating players on handling all types of circumstances. It even happens at the Coates Talent League level where players attend in-services on all this stuff from handling yourself in the public to media to social media and to even pornography and gambling. IT'S designed to educate the majority and the odd clown slips through or just some players aren't mature enough to cope at the time.
There are hundreds of players playing in their non birth states and again only a miniscule amount of noise is heard annually. Players have clauses in their contracts and they have a shit load to lose and managers with the club professionals work on all issues. This is why it's not the 70's anymore where there was a lot of issues with players as you were saying, but we've evolved in this area now as there's high stakes at risk.

Article is older but the point is still correct

It’s also very common for players to talk about the increased scrutiny playing for a Melbourne club v interstate once they have hung up the boots

Inside AFL's pressure cooker

Footy's two games now. One's played on the field, the other's played in the media.

As dominant side in the league, you have the luxury of taking the risk.

Hogan Exactly the types that will come for peanuts in that situation

Who dares wins, who doesn’t finishes bottom a few years later with the worst forward line ever seen, ever.

No forwards here. Here no forwards.

Don’t disagree but we are also working under the premise that Hogan actually wanted to join us as well

By the reporting at the time we had offered him a contract and a decent one at that but he just elected to choose GWS over us and Sydney

Evidence or lack of it suggests otherwise. Paywall came up MM.

We just didn’t have the capacity to bring in hogan , basically would have had to cut a senior player to open the tpp , not gonna go that after winning a flag

My post about Rance_Rioli got quoted in a tripping balls post about Hogan..... . Hogan moved in 21. Lynch & Jack R just won the flag.... AND.. Chol & CJ playing for us. CJ just off suspension. Showed enough for North to give him an offer we couldn't match.


Hogan's a great player but was never going to get to RFC.

Just a small thing about this post.
