Agree with your thoughts on this.GC probably want to end up with Rioli, Lombard, and a player before the bid. They should comfortably have enough picks for that. If they trade their early pick it should be to move up the order as far as possible. Trading it to Richmond for Rioli would be nuts.
But also know that if Hardwick is wants Rioli he will tell the list manager to do whatever it takes to get him up there. Hardwick has the remit to deliver a flag and will over ride anyone to get what he believes he needs to achieve this.
Now whether Hardwick is actually keen on Rioli in GC colours I can’t tell you.
