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

[Cactus_]

The Tigers situation is not as bad as all the drama queens are making out. We were smashed with injuries all year and had a first year coach that was behind the 8 ball from the start. The players we are losing through moving to other clubs or retirement dosen't paint the full picture and it's not all doom and gloom.

Retirements:

Dusty was never the same after his Dad passed away and he had the terrible injury.
Grimes hardly played this year.
Naismith was depth.
Pickett was at the end.

Players getting traded and moving on:

Graham was our slowest mid for years and although will be missed was taking up a spot for a kid.
Bolton is a gun and will be missed but he has many floors and can be replaced.
Baker is a great little role player but not that hard to replace.
Rioli has been a shining light down back after a few poor years as a forward but HBF's can be replaced by a kid.

Apart from the injuries our structure down forward has been non existent for 2 years with Lynch hardly playing.
If he can get back to some sort of form in 2025 it will make a huge difference to our team.

Our best team even without any Rookies traded isn't that bad.

B: Balta Miller Vlastuin

HB: Broad Gibcus Short

C: Ralphsmith Taranto Ross

HF: Mansell Lefau Campbell

F: Bauer Lynch MRJ

FOL: Nankervis Prestia Hopper

INT: Gibcus Banks McIntosh Coultard

Plus I have left out a few of our other young players.

Dow
Clarke
Fawcett
Green
McAuliffe
Sonsie
Young
Trezise
Smith
Ryan
Kosi

Add in 5-6 First round players in this draft and we have a decent foundation for the rebuild.

You’ve got two Gibcuses in your best 22 and it’s quite possible that neither of them will be fit

Stupidity rein's at GC, 6 for him is beyond ridiculous.

I don't even think 6 is overs for Dan Rioli, I rate him highly, the 23 coming back yes it's over but he is in contract & has just come off a B&F win.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

I rate him that he highly we need two of him

 

[Farang83150]

Like the Tim Kelly trade? Real good it did you guys after the one hit wonder flag.
Another stupid decision could be coming in a couple of years when Ried wants out. Not taking those God father offers for pick 1 may come back to bite.

Yeah godfather offers....there were non, your obviously a pricktorian jorno...
Year that one trade defined us didn't it...

It's a ripoff and everyone knows it.

I believe the correct terminology is Gibci.

Suns risk 6 getting eaten up for Lombard bid, Rioli is in contract & has B&F win & runner-up in the B&F when we made finals in 2022 only losing to 1 vote to a dominant Lynch, so it debunks oh u only won because Richmond are bottom.

If it was a rip-off the Suns wouldn't do the the deal, they are working with a different currency to other clubs.

If they went to the draft with 6, they would get Lombard but then miss out on Rioli.
This way they get both. they already bringing in a top 10 player in the draft + adding a top 5 player from another club? how is that not a win & you can call it overs/rip off all you like but you need to be prepared to pay overs for contracted players.

Was 8 a rip off for an UNCONTRACTED Saad?

 

[Laffy2Chaffey2Daffy]

GC giving 6 and 23 for Rioli but want a pick in the 30s back for points for Lombard bid, so Richmond working to manufacture that pick.

 

[Coach_Required]

Ridiculous if true, considering we already had a pick near that before we paid offers to the Lions for pick 20.

Link didn't work for some reason.


I think you're stuck in your own 4 walls and just rely on anything you read from BF.

I agree we should have kept one of the trades in the 40s and given 51

It is a rip off because rioli is not worth 6 and they would get way more in futures. But gc are stupid and don't know how to trade.

 

[Vindicater]

If Richmond get 6 and 23 for Rioli and send back crappy picks then we need to fold the Suns.

Geelong fan talking about ripping the suns off in a trade. Bigfooty at its finest.

You forgetting the Bowes & pick 7?

 

[Laffy2Chaffey2Daffy]

Freo 10+11+30 for Bolton+24
Rioli+30 for 6+23
QED

If Freo push a hard bargain we could make it 20 instead of 24. May even be better as 24 is the first pick on night 2 which gives it a bit more value.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Technically that wasn't a trade it was a Gift

This draft is a fair bit stronger though, plus the pick swaps favoured Carlton not Richmond.

If they got the equivalent of #23 back in points or more (ala the deal Richmond did with Brisbane) I could see the justification even if it's still overs. I don't think a 30's pick really sweetens the deal for Gold Coast though.

It's not as bad as some are claiming, but it's still a hefty amount to pay for a B-grader who's 27. And given how many clubs were desperate for #13, they could've gotten something much better than Rioli for #6.

Actually there is one interesting comp for Gold Coast which worked out well for the club paying "overs" - Dion Prestia. Went for #6 back in 2016 despite being uncontracted and having missed lots of footy with injury. He was quite a bit younger, but that worked out well for Richmond....

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

It is a rip off because rioli is not worth 6

If an uncontracted Saad is worth pick 8, a 3 yr contracted Rioli IS worth pick 6

 

[tigs2010]

Wow looks like Craig has bent over and said give it to me Blair.

What a time to be alive

Contracted 3 yrs
Uncontracted

Even in this draft, that's the difference.

Saad was only 1 yr younger than Dan at the respective trade times too, so the age argument doesn't wash.

Rioli is better than a B grader.

Compare the seasons they had before being traded and Rioli is a way ahead.

 

[THE_GUN]

Not sure where Richmond get the pick in the 30's to get this done and really doesnt make alot of sense

Blair Hartley will probably be demanding #6 + #23 for Rioli + #51 and Cameron provided has enough points for Lombard will just get it done.

 

[T4P]

If Richmond get 6 and 23 for Rioli and send back crappy picks then we need to fold the Suns.

That would make it the first win-win trade the Suns have had

 

[Laffy2Chaffey2Daffy]

GC want points not picks. If Richmond give GC a pick in the 30s plus 51 and 61, that adds up to more points for them than 23 gives them.
