Trade Requested Daniel Rioli [UFA 2027] - Wants to join Gold Coast

[Jirik13]

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

Bad news for Tigers. 3 of top 6 B&F are leaving. Enjoy picks and pray they turn out great.

Looking at your list, next 3+ years could turn into regular massacres.

Experienced players - Injury prone Prestia and Lynch 32 next month, McIntosh 30, Broad 31, Vlastuin 30. Hopper prone to injuries (worried about concussions), Taranto can't hit the barn. Balta good, Short ok. Bloody hell.

Much better to have shit years after 3 premierships than just be shit every year through your history.

GC fans are suddenly up and about after doing nothing with a team jam packed full of talent. They will win the draft again and achieve nothing. Rinse and repeat.

There was a team not too long ago that were in a similar position...

Yup.
And Rioli will be excellent for your mob.
If Hardwick can’t eek a flag with the talent you have over the next three years it’s time to pack the franchise up for good.

Lucky for us you guys have exactly what we need at the moment. And you are excellent traders.

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’re spot on and that’s what we have been hoping, Beau Addinsall is looking like a top 10 pick along with Zeke Uwland. We need an extra first rounder next year and 6 would get us a very good deal.

The media seem to think pick 6 will be involved in the Rioli trade but I hope they have misread the situation

You are correct, the tigers had a great run.

But in fairness our poor run is about a third as long as your last premiership drought, are you defined by that period?

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

Yet the not so bright posters believe it adds value.

Rioli played good, would have looked a lot better in a top team, didn't drop his head all year.
Disappointing we losing him & I am not happy with him, but I can respect him for that.
