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

I love what Port Adelaide's list manager Jason Cripps said the other day

"We don't want what's fair we want more than fair as he is contracted"
Fair for Rioli is a pick in the teens. Pick 6 alone is not just 'more than fair' its crazy overs.

Port are talking about 'overs' for Houston but look likely to accept less for him than you are currently being offered for Rioli, despite Houston being a considerably better player.

I'm sure if another club destabilised a top-5, contracted player GCS player, you would be in the mood for 'fair' deals.

Get real. Your club played the big game, destabilisng an elite player from another club, you can't go small all of a sudden.

This is GCS's moment - did you want to be the big club, making audacious plays for contracted stars?

Then make the offer that is too good to refuse.

If not, shrink back down again, and enjoy another decade tinkering at the edges trying to solve the finals conundrum.

It´s probably playing for a rebuilding team that will win 2-4 games for the next 3 years, his peak, that has destabilised him.

and multiple other factors , but GC made the play, time to pay top dollar to break contracts

Unless GC’s contracts with its own required elite players mean nothing?

You just can’t have it both ways.
 
6 + 29 for Rioli + Richmond's F2 is still generous but closer to reasonable
6 + 23 for Rioli and 42.

With Suns likely trading out 6, 13, 23, 29 in the Rioli, Noble, and Future 1st deals, they actually still need points this year to match a bid for Lombard.
 
Gold Coast folding in to ridiculous demands once again I see. Richmond should be sending a late pick back if they want 6, he’s realistically worth a pick in the teens.
 
Do Gold Coast need Rioli? If they get Noble aren't Noble, Powell and Weller enough rebound defenders.
To be fair, the demands for Noble are just as ridiculous.

I get that Gold Coast are absolute cucks at the trade table, but there is not a universe where Rioli is worth pick 6, let alone more than pick 6.

Richmond are going to pull off the biggest heist since Fremantle got Pick 2 for Weller.
It all falls back on the Gold Coast at the end of the day

They head hunted Rioli while under contract and obviously made assurances to him that they could get it done

Now it’s up to them to follow through with a deal that satisfies or we just keep him
 
Who is “everyone”? Everyone not associated with Richmond you mean. Who hope like hell we won’t get any more than that.

Most Richmond people see pick 6 as the starting point for negotiations. More the meat, now we wait for the gravy. We might get an early 20s pick and give a 40s pick back. Still plenty of time. Most of the trade is done, just need the other little bits to get sorted out.

It’s not an auction. We aren’t bidding at all. We have him contracted for another 3 years.
If the deal does suit us, Daniel stays.
Everyone who has seen lists as poor as Richmond’s know that if you can get pick 6 for a HB, who will be 28 and wants to leave your club; deep down know’s that you won’t be knocking that back.
