Confirmed Daniel Rioli - Traded with picks 51, 61, 70 & 76 to GC for picks 6 & 26

[sydney_gws]

Suns also need points for this year's draft and especially next year's draft. We ain't trading all our picks away for 1 player who is in their late 20s

I think rioli, 31 for 6,2025r3

He's 27 not 37.

I know part of negotiation is devaluing the item but let's at least pretend to be serious.

Is this the latest picture of Dan?

 

[Iva Bigun]

Weller was contracted.

Hence why I say uncontracted the NEXT year

 

[Gavin Excell]

The big difference is the suns are actually getting a player and salary cap relief with Richmond paying a portion of Riolis contract….. at a time when GC needs to reduce its list size from is concessions they got a few years ago…
So that is why Richmond is getting hugely compensated.

Dimma said on AFL360 GC need established players… Rioli is that.

It’s rare for a player wanting to go to GC….
The deal is done… it’ll be pick 6 and more.

The salary being part paid by Richmond (if correct) is a significant value add that makes 6 seem fair and reasonable

Bad news for the suns with Daniel winning the bnf. Price just increased.

If the suns pay more than pick 6 for Rioli then they should get back into their clown car and ride off into the sunset. Laughable that Richmond supporters think 6 and 20 is rational.

Thats great news if true - we should get heaps if we trade Luke McDonald.

6 and 20 seems fair for me. We’ll probably give them a latish pick back to help them with some points.

I think it shows how average your team is rather than how good Rioli is

Yes WC have sucked for years blah blah

Lucky we got 3 flags out of these losers.

Who’s Luke McDonald?

Like Rioli - he won a B&F and a wooden spoon in the same year.

Which in reality is like a particpation medal they give to kids.

Rioli won the B & F for checks notes Richmond, worst team in the comp

Better add an F4, Gold Coast

Thats how insignificant winning a B&F in a spoon year is.

Yet the not so bright posters believe it adds value.

6 and 20 seems fair for me. We’ll probably give them a latish pick back to help them with some points.

For Neale, we gave up 6, 19, and 55, with 30 in return - that’s equivalent to 6 and 35, for Neale.

A better player, with a better body of work, when he was 2 years younger - by all objective measures Rioli is simply not worth anywhere near that.

Gold Coast should pitch unders of 12 and 38, Richmond ask overs of 12 and 20, and agree to split the middle with 12 and 26, the equivalent of pick 5, which is generous enough - maybe some late pick swaps if either club is still unhappy.

Richmond can bring in two quality players for the long term, GC can give their list a boost for a shot at the 8.

We don’t care if it’s rational, this trade is not about being fair. Pick 6 will be involved, do you think it won’t?

The only way I can see Pick 6 being involved is if there’s a little something going back the other way - maybe 29 or 39. Still think GC should prioritise keeping it.

I can assure you 6 will be Richmond’s come next week, possibly more.

I appreciate your reassurance and wish you all the best in trade week.

I expect it to happen but the Suns have multiple academy prospects next year with the rules tightening. They would be better off trading 6 into next year's draft and giving Richmond everything else they have and leaving it up to the Tigers to make their own trades.

You should write a letter to the suns football department giving them this advice.
