This one came to light a few weeks ago when Rioli was filmed leaving the Gold Coast Airport during Richmond's bye week and it was later confirmed that he met with Hardwick while on the GC. It came up again this week when Herald Sun report Jay Clark reported that the deal could already be coming together with the Bulldogs' first round pick (which is currently in the possession of the Suns) potentially being sent Richmond's way. Seems like this one could be on the cards with the Suns in desperate need of a talented running half back and Gold Coast's zone link to Rioli's hometown of Darwin being one of the carrots that is surely being dangled in front of him. Not sure why the rebuilding Tigers wouldn't consider it either considering they will likely commit to a proper rebuild at the end of this year and will want as many first round picks as they can get before Tassie takes them all.
