PRE knows I don’t rate our current midfield one but and that we need a huge injection of high end talent before Tassie looms large.
But
Rioli is the one. He’s the one I will be happy to keep.
The prospect of trading him just underlines how important it is to trade Bolton while he is peak value IMO.
Clearing trades for Baker, Bolton and Graham should in theory be enough.
But maybe Blair is going full shark eye. Which I kinda also like. Interesting times.
One way to ensure he stays, is make him captain!Don't want to lose Rioli. Has been one of my favourite players over the recent successful journey.
But if he wants to leave for success elsewhere then it's time to get some return for him that enables RFC to set up for the future.
The Club doesn't need any previous premiership players that don't want to be part of the re-development of the team.
RFC needs hungy players, committed to the future cause.
No way. Can’t make blokes captain that are considering leaving. That’s *smile* weak. Baker included. Horrible take.One way to ensure he stays, is make him captain!
The problem there is often the best players don't make the best captains or don't need the extra responsibility being a captain brings and it can affect their game. Of course there are exceptions like Cotchin but is often not the caseOne way to ensure he stays, is make him captain!
Pretty sure the AFL site had Dusty in multiple jumpers that weren’t Richmond a number times throughout his illustrious career.If you believe AFL site its just about done. Sad, Richmond royalty, and a very very good player to boot. Make. Them. Pay.
Who says he's considered leaving?No way. Can’t make blokes captain that are considering leaving. That’s *smile* weak. Baker included. Horrible take.
We don’t know he is even considering leaving at this stage. All paper talk.No way. Can’t make blokes captain that are considering leaving. That’s *smile* weak. Baker included. Horrible take.
Did Dan tell him that...?Cal Twomey mentioned on gettable this afternoon that Dan Rioli will request a trade to Gold Coast in his exit meeting next week
