The Rioli trade rumour to GC has been called out as BS
Gold Coast has not touched base with Richmond regarding Daniel Rioli.
A Herald Sun report surfaced earlier in the week suggesting the Suns were prepared to give up two first-round draft selections for the three-time premiership Tiger.
Gold Coast’s GM of football performance Wayne Campbell has played down the talk, confirming the Suns have not even spoken with the Tigers.
Asked if that report was accurate, Campbell was succinct with his reply.
“No, no, no, no,” the former Richmond captain said on SEN’s Sportsday.
“I’ve been at the Giants and the Suns where players get talked about when they’re in your colours so I think that’s a bit unsavoury to talk about players from other clubs. Especially when they’re contracted for a couple of years.
“What I can assure you is that we haven’t offered Richmond two first-round picks for Daniel Rioli.
“There’s been no discussion with Richmond on it.”
Rioli, 27, is contracted with Richmond until 2027. He has a close relationship with Suns coach Damien Hardwick and reportedly caught up with Richmond’s premiership mastermind on the Gold Coast in April.
He is putting together another strong season as a dashing half-back, averaging 383 metres gained, 21.4 disposals and 4.7 rebound 50s.
In 2024, Rioli leads the Tigers for total disposals, is second for tackles and rebound 50s and third for metres gained.
You always hear this and it very rarely happens. Also importantly WC are no longer on the bottom of the ladder so there is a risk that Baker may not end up at WC.I have heard this no leverage quote many time
Maybe these e girls supporters should go read the Callum Coleman Jones thread
So did JuddHasn't FOS missed most of the champs games? That always adds a layer of uncertainty.
Das thinks Richmond's ideal draft haul is:
2 Jagga Smith
8 Harry O'Farrell or Matt Whitlock
20 Tobie Travaglia
22 Zack Johnson or Langford or Hines or Tom Gross

Campbell chooses his words carefully. Definitely seems like they are targeting Dan. Reckon that 2 x firsts is maybe GC internally what their final position will be, not an opening offer.There needs to be repercussions for Journos making up crap. They just flat out lied that GC offered picks for Rioli.
I hope so, Lalor looks very good, best highlights I have seen thus far. There's a bit of Dusty about him, and not just the no.4.Want to see more of Lalor but he looks exactly what you want from your top pick.
Faull probably goes 15-25 with all the good mids in this draft.
don't think we need to do anything special here to land them.
it just says there's been no discussion with richmond, at least the quoted text only says thatThere needs to be repercussions for Journos making up crap. They just flat out lied that GC offered picks for Rioli.
Petracca typeWant to see more of Lalor but he looks exactly what you want from your top pick.

We should trade our 2025 1st for roos 1st pick 2024Looks like we will likely have 1, 7, 20, 21 at this point. No idea what we will get for Baker if he even leaves given the 2 clubs have vastly different things to offer.
Should be able to get 2 quality mids (FOS/Smillie/Lalor & ??) , 1 KPF (Sims or Faull) and a small forward (Kako, Berry or Champion) out of that haul.
Possibility we get Brisbane's pick as well now that they're rising up the ladder. Maybe we look at Dodson the ruck as well or take a punt on Hotton.
No dusty likePetracca type
Fawcett should play vfl this yearMcAuliffe looks good too.
Fawcett I'm not sure he even exists but hopefully he shows something in the next couple of years.
7/8 and 20 for Dan Rioli and his salary - that makes sense. Both teams win (hopefully)Imagine the oppo melting if Richmond gets picks 7 and 20 for Rioli …. they’ll lose their minds…. I can’t wait !

Don't forget the '20 GF. Woefully underutilised in the ruck IMO - usually changes the game when he goes there...Balta's best football is arguably on-ball, as a ruckman. If allowed to play there more who knows what he could be. Have a look at his game against Essendon in 2019 - his ninth ever game, aged 19. Sharing the ruck with Callum Coleman-Jones he had 16 contested possessions and 7 clearances.
Its why Yze was determined to play him forward / ruck.Don't forget the '20 GF. Woefully underutilised in the ruck IMO - usually changes the game when he goes there...
Technically the journos were reporting that GC is 'prepared to offer two first round picks'. It's all silly smoke and mirrors thoughThere needs to be repercussions for Journos making up crap. They just flat out lied that GC offered picks for Rioli.
Lalor looks like a beast on the groundI prefer the look of Lalor over Smillie to be honest, just seems to be a bit more explosive. Smillie has that "easily knocked over" weak core look about the way he moves.
