you should belive it. Solia Media is trashWhen I'm serious, I try to be unbias.
Rioli is worth more than Pick #5. Can't believe people on social media suggesting he's worth 20+.
Is he related to Incy-wincy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-Isaac-Heeney ?Someone said it long before me and I wish I could remember whom....so I am paraphrasing...

Jeez mate, I've never said all those three picks would come our way. If you check my post that you quoted, I said "A draft pick 6-8 AND another pick 12-15 should be the absolute minimum as a starting point" from our boys when negotiating.I am not devaluing him, I could also ask why are you and others so hell bent on over valuing him?
Its clearly just a difference in opinion, but April is usually a month after the season starts so its basically the start of the season IMO.
I am so confident that I am closer to his value than what is being bandied around in here that I am posting my opinion as fact. Book mark this and other posts, GC want him, he will likely end up there and it wont be for 3 firsts with one of them being pick 5.
I love Dan, one of my favs, but prepare to be disappointed if you are expecting an offer such as 5, 14 and 22. I would go as far to say, that the AFL would step in at this point and drug test the entire FD at the Suns.
I thkn the confusion is when you replied to me, I had been replying to the posts around getting 3 first rounders.Jeez mate, I've never said all those three picks would come our way. If you check my post that you quoted, I said "A draft pick 6-8 AND another pick 12-15 should be the absolute minimum as a starting point" from our boys when negotiating.
By that I mean if we could snaffle #7 and #14 that'd be a good outcome. If it's #5 and #15 I'll be thrilled. #3 and #22 ecstatic. #3 and #14 and I buy a Suns membership next season
But yeah, I'm probably going to be disappointed. Doesn't mean we don't push for it. Draft picks just don't mean the same to the Suns as they do to normal teams.
It's like if you're doing a fix-up job for very wealthy clients who are on a short time frame - you can charge overs and they just pay it because they want the job done fast and properly. Dan Rioli is a fast and proper fix for the desperate Suns.
Darcy involved in the Shai trade?You would have thought we will target a ruckman of some description as depth with really Nank & Ryan as our only legit ruck options. Whose out there?
Ned Reeves?

This might not be the worst play given our rucks are cooked when Nank gets injured or if Nank drops off in 1-2 years. The only issue is for me that at 26, he is a little old for a rebuild, yet I do see the merit in replacing Nank as a battering ram.Darcy involved in the Shai trade?
fat darcy for a 3rd rounderYou would have thought we will target a ruckman of some description as depth with really Nank & Ryan as our only legit ruck options. Whose out there?
Ned Reeves?
people on social media
also dumma will feel he owes us for tarranto and hopper and he might feel a little sorry for us in our current stateWe need to be asking the world for Rioli , idgaf what neutrals have to say , I know Dimma when a players says yea I want in,,, he’s like when the bar opens with a tab at a sales conference , he’s anyones , and he’s all over it
Your gut feel is correct. Darcy is cooked, can't stay on the park.This might not be the worst play given our rucks are cooked when Nank gets injured or if Nank drops off in 1-2 years. The only issue is for me that at 26, he is a little old for a rebuild, yet I do see the merit in replacing Nank as a battering ram.
My gut at this stage says to still go hard at the draft and try and find the next killer ruck which will take two years to develop as we still have sufficient depth (that is crap) and Nank who has two more years in him I reckon.
If we get a couple first round picks or a top 10 pick and Darcy I would consider it provided we get well compensated for Rioli and Baker. Gut says take the picks and harvest youth for a 2-3 years then seek the talents of a Darcy type in their mid 20's.
dont have a go at me m8That's your first mistake
noany rumour ?
I think hes just carrying about 15 extra kegsYour gut feel is correct. Darcy is cooked, can't stay on the park.
Next best VFL/SANFL/WAFL ruck ?Your gut feel is correct. Darcy is cooked, can't stay on the park.

We need to maintain our dignity and not give the tripe any oxygenWhen I'm serious, I try to be unbias.

Darcy involved in the Shai trade?
Darcy is a fat qunt, get's injured all the time, is on a ****load of coin and is lazy AF. I'd burn the joint down if we swapped him for Shai. Rucks are easy to find. Hawks got Lloyd Meek for **** all and he's just as good.This might not be the worst play given our rucks are cooked when Nank gets injured or if Nank drops off in 1-2 years.

They could trade out Darcy to get some currencyDarcy is a fat qunt, get's injured all the time, is on a *load of coin and is lazy AF. I'd burn the joint down if we swapped him for Shai. Rucks are easy to find. Hawks got Lloyd Meek for * all and he's just as good.
Not as silly as it sounds ,also dumma will feel he owes us for tarranto and hopper and he might feel a little sorry for us in our current state
