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

[The Falcon Strike]

Obviously you don’t do football very well.
Why do you think GCS targeted him and their first offer was for pick 6?

Same reason they offered pick 2 for Lachie weller

Because they have shithouse administration

Wouldn’t be surprised to find nick riviera or old Gil is their list manager

You see teams offload their Best & Fairest every year, don't you.

The better a guy plays, the more you are motivated to sell them.

Yep.

Did something in the voting system change? His 40 votes only beat nank and vlastuin by 2 and 4 points. Last year's winner had 68 votes. Rioli even had 5 more votes than this year.

Pick 6 for Rioli is overs, Richmond would be crazy not to accept that by the end of the trade period if the suns don't budge..

So apparently this will be the Suns best team in 2025.
One big thing to note is the lack of the Academy players even being named. If the Suns pull their finger out and actually make finals with this team and the kids aren't getting games we know what is going to happen don't we?
They will be cheap as chips and wanting to get games from Victorian clubs in the next couple of years. So I'm not sure why they even bother with the Academy kids when they will hardly play them.

What 5 academy kids isn't enough in that team

The suns can literally draft Tobie Travaglia with pick 6. Who I think will be a better player, Rioli is 28 he is not worth pick 6.

Club rebuilds you have to be patient and make the right decisions. It does not happen overnight.

Hardwick can't wait

A player that actually wants to move and play for GC.
A player that is in his prime.
A proven finals performer.
A player the coach knows will give him the run off half back that he builds teams around … Houli then Rioli.
A goal kicking HB.

V

a couple of kids that will go home in 2 years.

When was the last kid that went home in 2 years from our list?

I’m not supporting the op but In fairness the Tigers figures are padded by having 9 other teams in the state. This is an advantage the Eagles and basically any club out of Victoria don’t have. It’s also true for the away crowds, it’s a bit different taking the train from Waverley to the MGC than Perth to the Eastern seaboard.

Agree
Richmond have never had a season of 40k+ minimum home attendance vs interstate oppo
Only Freo Pies Eagles Crows have achieved that

All that for 6 and 13

And GC suddenly get jelly legs

Do they really want success?

I reckon they are are happily middling for another generation

Play it safe GC, don’t take that risk, lol
