It's only media talk - But not all first rounders are equal.
One of the picks could slide to late 20's.

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

I won’t cop any team being labelled as 4-5 years away nowadays.
We can rattle off more bottom 4 clubs turning it around in a short space of time than we can 5-year-rebuild clubs.
If Tassie-compromised drafts weren’t on the horizon I’d probably think twice.
And there’ll probably be some father-son/academy points value dilution from the AFL before then.
So the reality is, if we’re going to try to capitalize on draft value, this is the year to do it.

Due to the continual massive injury rate, we've been playing heaps of immature kids this year. So many in fact that we simply don't have enough mature players to cover for the youngsters as they're learning, hence the *smile* show at the bottom of the ladder.
You can go Gc 1st pick 8 or 9 and then Footscary 1st pick 10 or 12 and hand back pick 22.
I rather go Gc pick and a ready made player from them.
If they really want him they'd be prepared to give up more than 2 firsts that could be pushed out due to academy selections and F/S.
We hold all the cards here.
Rioli can't say he wants to go to QLD because he's homesick and I believe his fiance is from NSW. So he wouldn't have an emotional/personal reason to break his contract.
Also don't think he'd leave Jnr behind, which adds to the intrigue.

I'm calling bull5hit. No one is offering any draft picks in June. Must be a quiet news day.
Moreover, I hope Richmond come out publicly and curtain it early. Rebuild or not, we can't be giving away everyone. We're already going to be having a strong draft hand this year.
Pretty strange don't you think that camera's were at the airport the same day Rioli was leaving.
Rioli for Bailey Humphrey. GCS get the running half back they desperately need and we get a talented youngster that grow and develop with our rebuilding list.
Exactly. Its a mid first and a second.
Whether or not any deal happenst These pundits annoy me, 'TWO first rounders for Rioli! do it in a heartbeat!' This take overvalues the picks and undervalues Daniel.
It's all just noise n meedjia speculation, helps keep the fans engaged n churns clicks n money.
Sausage to Mold Coast could be a mid first n very late first or even two mid first rounders, Mold Coast have got them so why not speculate?
Just on the speculating what's the value of a half back flanker with dodgy feet who's turning 28 at the start of next year????
Even if his feet hold up, he's got what, perhaps 3 or 4 years of very good footy n maybe another 1 or 2 of fade away left in the tank at best n could be somewhat less. Old mate Fergie from Man U made an art form of selling off champions while they still had enough in the tank to get absolute premium value n had his team up n challenging for years n years.
Yeah its the media spin on it. Its more than likely that it would be a pick around 10 and a pick around 25 once all academy / f/s are taken care of, so not as attractive as they make out.
GC have some great talent coming through their academy.
Probably feel they can throw a extra fist round pick on the table to get the deal done.
How’s their salary cap going? Any
Problem is none of GCs talent want to hang around for too long. They're in a vicious circle which is why it's hard to see GC ever taking the big step.
