It probably will since Gold Coast haven’t walked away.
All I said they should walk away. Move on to someone else.
He is contracted and Richmond have the right to keep him unless they get paid what they want. If it’s too much Gold Coast should walk away. Suns should never of targeted a contracted player.
Loving the melts from opposition supporters here but seriously thank you all for your valuable contributions as its extremely appreciated. Is pick #6 overs ?? Maybe is #6 + #23 overs - Bloody oath it is
Pick #6 + #13 well that would be totally disgusting and the AFL should step in to stop it.

These guys dont get it
Richmond will finish on the bottom 3 years collecting 12 -15 1st round picks
Then get PP just as Tassie come in and raid the other teams with free Agency
Back top 4 in 5 years
The “ home of football” and huge crowds will always have appeal.
Even during our poor years we still managed very good attendances. I’m sure our supporters will take these years coming after winning 3 premierships recently.
Far better than being a middling team that struggles to get into the finals let alone win anything.
We’ve timed this fairly well. Knowing Dusty, Cotch, Jack, Grimes etc would be retiring. That was no surprise. Having Bolton and Baker looking to head home was no surprise either. Hence the long term deal to Bolton, giving us control over his moving on. Baker has stipulat3d he’d only move if a fair deal could be done for Richmond.
DRioli was a surprise to me. To the club? Maybe not. He’s still got 3 years so he can stay. He’s only looking to go because of Hardwick and his gf’s influencer business. So he hasn’t fallen out, just piss poor reasons. He stays if a deal in our favour can’t be reached. He’ll provide leadership to the young group and his uncle MRioli jr recently re-signed with Richmond. So he still has family there and will settle back in quickly. His gf can move on or do her influencing in Melbourne.
As WilWA and SA players returning home. They draw decent crowds. The new stadium in Perth allows great crowds.
Sydney doesn’t have the appeal as with other footy mad states/cities.supporters drop off the swans quickly if they aren’t winning. Same as Brisbane. GCs and GWS still finding their feet 14/13 years after starting. Still to draw a decent fan base let alone decent crowds.
What’s a decent crowd for a home GC game? 15,063
We get that at training.
So better to take the first offer even if good? Is that your negotiation tip of the day? These clubs have been talking for months. Suns first pick was always on the table, tigers trying to extract more, brilliantly played by Blair and the team.

He is Richmond's Best and Fairest
I don't care about the wider AFL, he is our current elite player
knows how to get it done in big games, 3 flags, 4(?) goals to win a prelim
GCS tapped him up for a reason.

You see teams offload their Best & Fairest every year, don't you.
The better a guy plays, the more you are motivated to sell them.
Yep.
Suns might laugh and run from the deal who knows, who’s knows what the first offer was, just because it was the first reported.

It's pretty clear the Tigers are prepared to move Rioli on. I'm not sure why it's proving so difficult for some Richmond fans to acknowledge.
It's as if they're in denial or if they wish hard enough the circumstances will suddenly change.
He's gone. And the universe has aligned such that it'll be an amazing result for the Tigers.
Good on him for winning the Best & Fairest, but it's not particularly relevant to the discussion. It was also for the bottom placed side in a year when no Tiger played every senior game and he played the equal most.

We're doing GC a solid by pretending to want more. Distracting the AFL world from the absolute reaming that is pick 6 for an aging half back flanker.
6 isnt fair though, thats the whole point. 6 is 3x Riolis value

The fact you care so much is so satisfying
Glad I could make your dayThe fact you care so much is so satisfying
Just who hasn’t acknowledged it?
Richmond is prepared to release Rioli if they receive an acceptable offer. One that is deemed acceptable by Richmond.
Not “everyone” or other clubs supporters or the media.
That shouldn’t be too hard to acknowledge. But obviously is.
No denial. Richmond have said from the start what is an acceptable price. Funnily enough they are negotiating with the GCS list managers, not BF or media recruiters.
Circumstances will no doubt change when an acceptable deal is made. If it’s not acceptable to Richmond, he stays and plays.
He’s gone? Oh not he hasn’t. If he does go it will be an amazing result for the price of losing a highly valued player.
Of course it is. That is highly disparaging to any player who has won an afl B&F
So what. His performance showed that he played at a high level, was consistent and led a young team by example.
You’re trying to win a few fans over by disparaging a player in an endeavour to downplay his worth.
Regardless of what you or “everyone” or the media says, none of you have any idea what the actual discussions entail.
You have no sense of value because you don’t want to see Richmond get a very good deal.
Parachialism at its finest

Sorry…what?
Richmond will get a great deal. I’ve said that all along.
Argue in good faith, but if you’re going to make up rubbish you can head elsewhere.

I think it's ultimatum time.
Either GCS put up 6 and 13 for Rioli tomorrow, and start selling hope and memberships.
Or just cut off the conversation.

Richmond will bend over and do 6+23, all of this posturing and hard balling is just talk, they don't have it in them to stick fat I reckon, never really have at the trade table.

Compared to the ludicrous ask of 6+13 that many fans are asking for, it's definitely accepting less than what a lot are accepting.6 & 23 isn't us bending over. 6 alone isn't us bending over either.
