We both know Rioli ain’t worth what Gold Coast are shelling out for him. One bad trade doesn’t set the price for all other trades, otherwise the Dogs should be getting three top ten picks for Smith who’s a hell of a lot more valuable than Rioli. No team could afford him or Houston if the Rioli trade somehow sets trade values for the year.
Doubt Port spend a week at the negotiating table with the Pies knowing full well the assets at our disposal if they don’t see a way to get an acceptable deal done. It simply wouldn’t have got this far along if it wasn’t in the ballpark.
The difference between the two can’t be as wide as the Atlantic Ocean…one is getting a mid teens pick plus a bloke that barely gets a game in Richards…the other is getting a top 10 pick and a top 30 pick. They are miles apart. I agree not every trade is the same but they are the same position except one is younger and better. Value has to be close to the Rioli deal.
