Shit deal. If we let Noble and a future first go for 13 and 29 and Richmond get 6 and 23 for Rioli then we are getting ****ed by Gold Coast. Rioli’s never been an all Australian in 9 seasons he is worth nowhere close to thatHe's talented, but he's on a massive contract - rumoured to be on a million bucks a year and he's only just above a fringe player for them. They'll want him gone and Port will squeeze them.
Coll: lose Noble, Richards, future first, 37
Gain Houston, 29
GC: lose 13, Lukosius, 29
Gain future first, port f2, Noble,
Port lose Houston, f2
Gain: 13, Richards, Lukosius, 37
Then the Rioli deal gets sold as pick 6 and 23 for Rioli. But GC get Rioli, f2 and enough academy points for Lombard.
