I agree Baloo. I fully expect the club to do the deal but ONLY if we get what we want. No compromise.All true and I'm sure Blair and co and running through the scenarios. Do we trade now in a climate where we are already rebuilding and Dan is under a long term contract, or do we enforce the contract only for Dan to leave when we don't hold the upper hand AND Tasmania are starting their drafting and recruiting.
The best thing for the club long term might be to extract the max value of Dan today.
“It’s awesome, I am basically a Tiger for life now and I would not want to be anywhere else,” Rioli said.
Daniel Rioli signs five-year contract extension
Three-time premiership player Daniel Rioli will call Richmond home for at least another five seasons.www.richmondfc.com.au
Never seen anything like this from a Richmond player. Shai at least has a family reason.
Despite Premiership heroics I expect Dan's popularity to soon go the same way as his fmr coach with Richmond supporters.
Never really warmed to Rioli. If his name was Smith where would he be? Overrated. But having said that, he is a superstar and is worth 3 top 10 draft picks.

Remember that ankle......I honestly hope his performances drop off a cliff.
Don’t worry. Meehan will take of it when he gets there.Remember that ankle......
Blame is the wrong term. When a couple moves interstate it is of course far better if both are happy with the move.I think trying to blame Dan's partner for his decision to leave RFC is misogynistic and wrong.
My view with a Baker type is that he's un-contracted so therefore he should be able to do whatever the *smile* he wants where he wants. Don't agree in any way shape or form that a club has any hold or should somehow receive any reward / refund because a contract has reached it's completion. So there is still an imbalance in the favour of clubs now though not as much as there has been over history.You're thinking basically of this scenario only. There's also the scenario like Baker. He can nominate a club, as he's out of contract, and we are then at a point of severe weakness. That club has the upper hand in trade which it could exploit if it wanted. Think Essendon or Freo. If we don't facilitate the trade, that player can walk into the PSD at their risk, with no compensation for us.
There's no scenario where the club can protect itself here.
As for historically what happened for 100 years, so what. Doesn't make an imbalanced world now, right.

But, but, but. I'm a knuckle dragging old misogynist. How the *smile* am I gunna get to say anything if I have to STFU n can't comment on behalf of the rest of the knuckle draggers?The references to Dan's partner taking or sharing the blame for his defection really aren't on. Is it because she's successful in her own right and has a high profile? Do we credit Broad's partner for him knocking back more lucrative offers and staying with RFC?
Let's stop the knuckle dragging misogynistic comments. This is 100% on Dan and no one else, no matter how hard it is to admit that the Prince wants to abandon us.
Sssshhhh. Wait till after the trades done FFS.Remember that ankle......

How about a trade involving the likes of a Rowell, Anderson or Flanders.
There's certainly been some posts where blame was being put on his partner. But most trades, especially interstate ones, will have the same scenario where a partner would need to be supportive of the move before it's requested.
But it seems that because Dan's partner is a high profile influencer, she's being used as an excuse by some to make sense of Dan's desire to leave us.
