He was on the verge of being delisted according to the Port board prior to us being interested.
Now they want a straight swap.
He is the steak knives.
Eagles being campaigners
Good
Seems like we are more likely to get bent over when we are trying to acquire a player, not so much when someone wants one of ours.Very unlike us.
Feels like we’ve bent over backwards to get deals done recently. The last time I can recall us playing hardball was when Mitch Brown asked to go to St Kilda.
That's the same pick as we got from Port for dropping from pick 12 to pick 14 last year... I think Rioli is worth a bit more than a 2 spot downgrade (and I assume that's how Port would look at it to given it was them we traded with in-draft last year).27 would be fair though, so why?
If Graham decides to go to the power can see a three way trade possibly
Eagles give pick 2 ,38 & Rioli
Get pick 8,12 and 19
Port Give pick 8 and 27
Get. Rioli,Graham, pick 31
Tigers. Give pick 12,19 & 31 and Graham
Get. Pick 2 & 27
Very unlike us.

Let’s be realistic here, he’s barely done anything of note for 3 odd seasons (for obvious reasons), has question marks over his character and fitness, and is out of contract.
Refusing 27 if they offer it would be a weird hill to die on.
Reckon Rhino’s had a mare here.

They are in win now mode though, could be sniffed atPort get shafted there.
Rioli and Graham arent worth pick 8.
I think Port are desperate and think they can contend, Gray retired - they DESPERATELY need Rioli hence them being crazy enough to offer him 4 years.
27 and their future 2nd for Rioli and our future 3rd is what I’d be pushing for personally
I like this
If Port are backing themselves to make finals like they seem to be and we finish bottom 4 that swap of future 2nd/3rd is a downgrade from 30 to 40 for Port
We go into next draft period with 2xR2 picks and get to deathride Port for another season
If they cave for that, I’llYep I think they’d cave if we asked for that
Netting extra picks for next year is a smart investment too considering how good that draft cohort looks
Is it though? Out of contract, poor fitness record, poor discipline record, lack of exposed form, small forward position not worth as much as others.27 is a bit unders to me, but 27 and a future second is big time overs.
Get after them West Coast, make it happen.
