What player has wanted a trade 2 years after drafted at the Suns in recent times? While you're throwing stones you have 3 very good players all wanting to be traded back home or out for better futures. I'd be more worried about your own club atm. The only player Suns have this year going is be traded for a salary dump.

Yeah I mean look we all love the draft but how many are busts- a lot! Rioli is an A grade player unless you can guarantee pick 5 is the next Reid I’ll take the player I know is elite at the top level.

Also to add to this, they need to back Dimma 100%, if he deems Rioli the right guy it's his nuts on the line. Allow your triple premiership coach to assemble who he wants in the team and in a few years the proof will be in the pudding. They need to be pretty bold with list management decisions and take that next step.
Off topic but you look at Essendon with that absolute cancer Stringer still on the list and he should be made an example of to demonstrate the culture they want to have moving forward.
If we get Pick 5 for Rioli I definitely think it's overs but if that's what it's going to take then that's what will be needed. We have been great with facilitating players requests when out of contract but it's a pretty different situation right now and I think GC are one of the few clubs that can pay overs and have themselves not really lose anything by doing so.
That trade was a joke too. Shouldnt have been allowed

At the end of the day GC need to bring in more experience. They couldn't be happy with this year and more first round kids to sit in the VFL won't help.
Rioli provides gut running and line breaking from the back half and is a good kick. Knows Dimma's game plan as well.
GC should be asking for Vlaustin as well.

That trade is squarely on Craig Cameron’s shoulders, absolute howler of a trade especially when Geelong was allowed to renegotiate Bowes contract, we were assured this type of trading is the way of the future, what a load of Bull shit, Cameron should of been fired

I think this is the point that keeps being overloooked.
They seemed to have settled the young draftees, well done but they dont attract mature A graders, not yet anyway. So when a proven gun player with loads of finals experience wants to come, they will make it happen even if it means over paying. Now what that over pay looks like, its any ones guess.
this pick 5 being bandied about is for the rookie draft.
This is Daniel Rioli, not Cyril

Pick 1...
How many weeks did it take you to come up with this cracker?

I wouldn't be paying a top 10 pick for a half back flanker. Fair enough if that's what Richmond is asking for, he's contracted so that's their right, but it's one of the easiest positions to fill in the game, so I think it would be foolish for GC to pay that much.
I get the argument that he's an established quality player, but I think that would be more pertinent if he was a KPD that could marshall the troops. Jake Lloyd won 2 Best & Fairests for Sydney playing that role and I don't think he was ever worth a top 10 pick.
We've seen a few players this year - Humphries at the Cats and Roberts at the Swans come to mind - come from nowhere and be prolific in the role Rioli plays.

I agree FWIW, HB is the easiest, but you could argue Rioli is the most dynamic in the game, very few can do what he dos to the level, and given Dimma relies so heavily on attacking from HB, I can see why he would value what Rioli brings over others.

That's a valid argument. What do you mean by the most dynamic though, as compared to say Whitfield, Houston, Dale, Blakey, Zorko or Holmes (and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting)?

I dont think any of them have close to his pace, whitfield maybe, but Dans ability to get out of trouble, take blokes on and hit passes at electric pace is unmatched in my humble opinion.

The B grade Richmond players no longer have
A grade players to help them win,
hence are leaving to play with some better players.

I wouldnt
Given GC are pretty stacked with young talent, I think people are overlooking some intangibles with Rioli that Dimma would highly value. Do they need yet another kid? They cant/won't keep them all forever.
What Dan offers them is a big point of difference, premiership and finals experience, an insanely hard worker, leadership, knows Dimma and Dimma knows him, knows the game plan, knows the culture he wants to build. Or gamble on yet another kid their list doesn't really need.

Good call - knew I was forgetting someone.
Blakey's pace definitely goes close to (if it doesn't match) Rioli, and Holmes is probably close to.
I think it was a big call to say that none of them have "close to his pace".
