Agree. I'd be more worried losing KPP/inside mids where our new toys will get beaten up and broken before we get to enjoy them.id prefer to keep rioli over baker but if they both ask to leave then its not the end of the world. They are replaceable
I think he is secretly trying to make me nervous. Blues fans are not too bright. Jokes on him.Your partner tells you alot huh
The mongrel lied to me. There goes him watching the Blues this weekendDrug test him
I can see this playing out but I wouldn’t trade Dan for those picks. He’s contracted and one of our best every week. Why make GC a better club. I would prefer Dimma sucks for years to come.I agree. We say we want him because we do.
GC will start by offering pick 20 and a F2. We remain not interested. A few days later they offer 8 on its own. We remain uninterested. A few more days they offer 8 and a F2. We remain uninterested….
Then 24-hours out from trade deadline they offer 8 and 20. We then speak with Rioli
and make sure he definitely has no interest in joining his great mate Dimma at GC? As if he’s going to explore his options at some stage of his footballing life, now is the time to explore given the rebuild the club is embarking on.
Rioli goes away, comes back and says he’s open to the move.
Trade gets done. 8 and 20 for D Rioli.

Bolton will always have trade value not sure what you are talking aboutThis is crazy. “I don’t want to leave now I want to leave when I have no trade value a bit later in my career when you may really need me again”. Trade him the **** out now and cash in omfg.

Rioli is 28yo start of 2025. If we reject 8 and 20 (yes, I know it’ll end up late-20’s) then we’d be absolutely crazy.
Let’s put it this way … what would you expect Dogs to do if they were on the bottom and GC offered 8 and 20 for Bailey Dale?
BTW …. I wouldn’t trade him against his will. If he says he’s really keen to stay I’d leave it there. But if he says he’s open to it if we thought it would be beneficial to all parties, then we should accept that trade.

It's wild to me this guy isn't in a leadership position at the club. He has been my pick for captain ever since half way through his first year.On mid week tackle according to my partner, Tim Taranto is calling a meeting of all players tomorrow and talking anyone thinking of leaving, out of it asking them to stay. He apparently believes they need to all stick together as he sees something special in the group.
Apparently there will be an article in tomorrow’s paper about it.
If Dimma has a hard on for Dan the GC would give up both 8 +9 with later picks going back and part salary paidRioli is 28yo start of 2025. If we reject 8 and 20 (yes, I know it’ll end up late-20’s) then we’d be absolutely crazy.

You reached this conclusion from him trying to galvanize the team and asking them to stick it out instead of leaving?yeah, but I am not at the coalface.
Timmy is a little troubled, maybe he will seek a trade?
I’m getting the feeling the club are quietly open to a few of these deals going down. Including Rioli.

Dan Rioli is the player we would probably like to trade all Beit with a heavy heart
He would net us the most trade currency and is 28 years old and not really in the next window.
Baker will decide if he goes or stays but would have to be a pick inside the 1st round
Bolton we can hold for now and if he wants to leave in a year or 2 will still get a top 10 pick so no rush
Lynch is a player we should be open to moving on.
I find it intriguing that camera's were at the airport when Dan was visiting Dimma.Rioli is 28yo start of 2025. If we reject 8 and 20 (yes, I know it’ll end up late-20’s) then we’d be absolutely crazy.

Where there's smoke I guess.
Would rather keep Dan instead of Bolton.
just because he hasnt got a title dosnt mean he isnt a leader.It's wild to me this guy isn't in a leadership position at the club. He has been my pick for captain ever since half way through his first year.
You have to have something in the first place to be able to lose itYou reached this conclusion from him trying to galvanize the team and asking them to stick it out instead of leaving?
You're crazy most of the time but whenever you speak in relation to trading you lose any semblance of common sense.
One of the key tools we will have is salary cap space, so including paying for most of a salary for a traded playershould help us get a better pick and it let's them have an extra player on their list, but with graham, baker contracts ending we can't do it with those, which is why rioli is so valuable to GC. He might not impact their tight cap. It's the same with lynch, we have acxounted for his salary, if a club did want him and he wanted a go for a premiership and we stump up his salary we would need one 1st minimum. By this theory, we could trade out a role player who would be very cheap backup for a team going fir a premiership. This would be good if we trade out role players and get the picks we want, not losing club legends who we want to keep one club players. I think out of everyone I'd be happiest to trade out Hopper.If Dimma has a hard on for Dan the GC would give up both 8 +9 with later picks going back and part salary paid
thats what we should be looking at.
Rioli would be open to going imo and hand over the #17 to Jnr
Yeah, and now it is more obvious why he is not in a leadership position. Imagine having to operate under this?You reached this conclusion from him trying to galvanize the team and asking them to stick it out instead of leaving?

How does this galvanise the team?? If anything it creates division and innuendo and tension by putting it in their facesYou reached this conclusion from him trying to galvanize the team and asking them to stick it out instead of leaving?
