The only thing we know is what he said at the B&F he loves his girl and would do anything for her. I guess she is driving the move?

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

The belief is that because she’s a Dj and an influencer, the Gold Coast suits that better. I think they’ve just offered him too much money to turn down.
'We're hoping to achieve what's best for Richmond' - Hartley
Richmond GM of Football Talent Blair Hartley spoke to the media this morning as the AFL trade period commences.
Watch this and tell me we aren't laser focused on getting what we want.
Shows everyone just what a pro he is.'We're hoping to achieve what's best for Richmond' - Hartley

Other list managers huffing and puffing, saying that they'll walk away from deals (like that lightweight Walls from Freo), while Hartley gives them and the media nothing.
Yes very nicely done Blair.'We're hoping to achieve what's best for Richmond' - Hartley

*smile*. Them. All.
Another dumb club. Who Does Cameron think he is? They are the ones that are chasing Rioli. Pay up or F off.
We have said we want all your picks for Dan and here they are teasing us by trying to off load 13 to Collingwood.
If 6 & 13 aren't included in the trade. Rioli looks good yellow and black.
They can have him in 3 yrs time.

We wont get #13 no chance
#6 + #20 is the best we can get and thats with paying $1 mil of his salary
have to be realistic
Happy to play firm on Rioli because if he is made to stay I reckon he will fully commit and give 100%… Bolton on the other hand… not so sure… however he remains by principle if the deal isn’t right for us.
If you are offering 6 and 20 then pony up his entire salary, you plastic flogs. Eat it and die, Gold Coast.
If a tsunami washed you into the ocean no one would notice.

That's 7 and 24 right now - before any other bs shenanigans occur.
Not good enough for Rioli.
The price for Rioli is 6 & 13.
If the Suns aren’t prepared to pay, then Rioli stays at Richmond.
He is a contacted player, so we dictate the terms , not the Suns.
This is a straightforward trade for Blair, pick 6& 13 or no deal.
Cameron completely underwhelmed me when he was with us years ago. Surprised he is still in the system. Might have an axe to grind with us for letting him go perhaps?
Love how Blair is not giving media anything, we know what we value these guys at, they need to provide it. Pro.
It’s Rioli’s maximum value but trading is about compromise as we all know.
If GC ends up splurting 6 and 13 they have been owned and AFL House will facepalm.
The vital thing in this negotiation is to put yourself in the shoes of the Suns.
Two parts to this.
Daniel Rioli, a player who will quantifiably improve us, is achingly close to being on our list. It's a tantalising prospect. Imagine if we screw it up? Then imagine we end up with John Noble on the HBF and finish 11th again next season? We could have improved our culture and our competitiveness, strengthened our character, but we got cute at the negotiating table.
Same old Suns, always losing.
The second part relates to Rioli's contract with Richmond.
At the Suns, we know our position is one of total impotence. We have no say in how Richmond values their player. We know he will play out his contract if we can't satisfy them. We understand this requires a hefty premium ... there is no other way to prise a player from a contract. If we choose not to play ball, it's doubtful Richmond could care less.
*********
By the way, the Tigers not sellers. Banish the talk of what's fair, what Richmond should accept, what Rioli is worth. It's all noise.
Instead, listen to Blair Hartley: "They came to us, it's up to them to knock our socks off with a godfather offer."
He'll be filing his nails until the last moments of the trade period when the Suns fold like a deck of cards and stump up a knockout price.
Has there even been a mooted trade in AFL history where one club has a stronger position than Richmond right now?
*********
The question for the Suns at the heart of this negotiation is: what premium do we need to pay for a contracted player who will significantly improve our club?
Let's face it: pick 7 by itself in a near-lottery is a sick joke. Adding pick 24 is risible. Stick your "strong draft" up your jumper ... at 24, your chances of getting a 100-game player are remote: the all-time average is less than 80 games at this pick.
Don't even start to discuss draft points as a measure.
*********
Right now, the Suns are the Essendon of the north: a deeply unserious club. They have seduced our best player, yet feel it's their place to posture and swagger.
Meanwhile, a stone's throw away is a rival that turned around its fortunes by recognising where it was at and stumped up two first-round picks for Lachie Neale and a massive haul of picks for Josh Dunkley.
*********
Hardwick is a smart bloke. The tough part is done: finally, a gun player has offered his services to the Suns.
They will pay, and it will be a handsome sum.
Princely, you could say.
