And yet it took Xav Clarke as VFL coach to finally start playing Rioli off the half back line, a move myself and a few others in here had been insisting on for quite a while.Dimma would often say things like "Rioli had the best 5 disposal game" etc. He loved his constant run and consumption of space when moving forward. He would cause change to opposition structures and unsettle opponents. Still does it.
I think a big part of that is because the club is backing him in, even if that means the trades don't end up happening.If Blair pulls this off, he's an effing legend. When all the outside noise was going on he had his big schlong out ready to go in dry. It's been many years since we were struggling real bad and had an exodus. Lets see what Blair is made of. I could tell in his presser he was pissed, he was ready to rumble.
Granted he made a small mistake with Hopper, he has a chance to set us up for a quick tilt.
That's a lot of real estate to dedicate to a VIC team on a WA paper...
I made this point a few weeks ago. We are losing a player who I rate as worth a top 3 draft pick.I think the best context someone gave was avg games played for pics 11-20 was 83 , says it all , Bolton is a gun…….
This doesn’t even make sense?
And far better picks than Hawthorn.yes, but if done right, with the hand we have, the club would be hoping for a Hawks like bounce from the last few years. Not to mention, we gon have so much cash to attack FA and trades.

Are you Tiggers at all worried that a complete clean out of current players being replaced with teenagers is really going to hurt the club for a number of years? This is a 10 year investment.
First time ever said about a Murdoch employeeHate to praise the media and all but this article was very good. Well researched, entrenched in common sense and a solid understanding of the intricacies of the Gold Coast list and how they navigate the trade period differently to other clubs.
The West only runs to about 20 pages these days. Half of that is Harvey Norman ads.That's a lot of real estate to dedicate to a VIC team on a WA paper...
Not sure about Houston > Rioli. Would still be taking Dan with the choiceHate to praise the media and all but this article was very good.

Am I the only one who believes we are not receiving adequate value for Bolton at picks 10 and 11? While it could be argued that if we’re going to pursue a less favorable trade, now might be a suitable time given our focus on rebuilding, it still seems like a poor deal. The value of picks 10 and 18 doesn’t justify this trade, and moving forward with it would be imprudent and unnecessarily rigid.
Reading article after article in the media, talk back radio etc by the end of it i was more convinced that we will 100% get what we are after. Do they not understand that Rioli is contracted, a 3 time premiership player, B&F winner. We aren't the ones looking to offload him, its the suns courting him all year. This deal will get done on OUR TERMS.
We will not accept only pick 6. Dimma wants Rioli badly that we know and if we compare the other contenders for pick 13.
Blues future first (at a guess 10-15) and future 2nd (30-35)
Pies future first (10-15) and Noble for picks 13 and 23 GTFO
Richmond, Rioli and a future 2nd (early 20's pick) for picks 6&13
The media carry on about blues and pies who's going to get this pick but Richmond would trump them on this trade suggestion. Or the worst case scenario which most of us believe we will get 6&23 (nothing going back)
John nobleFFS he's an average campaigner he will add nothing that will drastically change them but Rioli will and GC know that.PLAYERCARDSTART9John Noble

Now on that basket case of a club Freo, their opening offer 10&18 and they say its fair they dont want to over pay. Its not supposed to be fair ****ers you want to take a contracted star player in his prime PAY OVERS. This is an easy one. The best deals are when you know deep down you can walk away and retain Bolton. Blair will walk if need be but Freo will fold and hand over 10&11
We do have options if for some reason it fell through. The eagles are wating in the wings with pick 3 which i would gladly take for Bolton. David Walls of Freo is he taking the piss, as if this deal is going to collapse over 7 spots. Pick 11 to 18
Baker i reckon it'll be a straight out pick 14 which the eagles will get for Barrass OR just putting this out there. Eagles split their pick, give us pick 3 and we give them Baker and one of either 10 or 11 (and maybe some other pick swaps)
I'm going to love the melts not only from oppo fans but the media too which have been on a crusade of out right negativity against us. I've seen nothing like it to this level when comparing with other players deals over many years.
Is that Daniel Houston or Daniel Rioli?Not sure about Houston > Rioli. Would still be taking Dan with the choice
Anyone able to compare stats for Dusty’s debut season vs Harley Reid’s?
On known quantity he’s worth two picks in the top 10, so it’s a disgrace we have to likely settle for 10 and 18.Am I the only one who believes we are not receiving adequate value for Bolton at picks 10 and 11? While it could be argued that if we’re going to pursue a less favorable trade, now might be a suitable time given our focus on rebuilding, it still seems like a poor deal. The value of picks 10 and 18 doesn’t justify this trade, and moving forward with it would be imprudent and unnecessarily rigid.
Thank you! Reckon by end of both careers we had the better footballerHarley Reid and Dustin Martin AFL Stats Comparison

You are being softened by the meda.We are not getting 6 and 23 from GC with nothing going back. If we do get 6 and 23 it’ll involve us giving back a F2 which they need for points to get Uwland in 2025 who looks like a top-3 and likely #1.
I’d happily do 6 and 23 for Rioli and a F2.
If Blair is smart we will compile as many 20’s picks as we can in this draft - they’ll be liquid gold in live trading.

Different types of half back. Houston will cut you open with precision kicking. Rioli will cut you open with speed.Not sure about Houston > Rioli. Would still be taking Dan with the choice
