Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
I find it hard to believe we would only get 6 for Rioli. This is effectively saying if you put Rioli in this years draft relative to all other draft candidates he is only worth picking 6 in line. Rioli has more than proven his worth over a sustained period of time, and is in his prime and still has many peaking years to give. Any pick in the draft is a lottery, so Gold Coast by only giving 6 are saying 'here have 1 ticket in the lottery - we will take the proven multi-premiership and finals performing player off you - good luck'. It is an imbalanced deal.
He's facing his mortality, m_t. (If his brake cables are cut Hardwick did it.) I reckon he checks his brake cables. As you say, he's weak, not stupid.
If the AFL deems Josh Battle to be worth Pick 8, then Rioli is worth every bit of pick 6 and then some. I'm truly shocked at the undervaluing of Rioli within the muppet media.
we will be lucky to get 6 and 23 yet alone 6 and 13.
Simply put stkilda got pick 8 because the contract ticked the actual boxes as set out by the afl. We got pick 42 for Graham because that was the boxes his contract ticked.
Being contracted Rioli is worth imo pick 6 but definately not pick 6 and 13. So the sticking point is not pick 6 but what is paid after it.
Dan is one of my favorite tigers by the way. Also just ignore the footy media they will do your head in if they haven't already.
What the hell does the Afl and Josh Battle have to do with how GCS rate Dan Rioli.

If we bid on Lombard at 6 - yeah that would be ironic!
how do Gold Coast match the bid if they have traded out 6, 13 & 23?

I wish people would stop bringing up FA deals as we don’t know the exact nature of them and it’s as you say compensation is granted on the boxes ticked due to the contract.
Also again FA compensation has nothing to do with Trades.
I still think the issue of not getting two F1 for Rioli are his high contract he’s on atm and age. I’m happy with 6 and 23 and I’d even take 6 alone because he nominated to leave us and it was really from early in the year. Being contracted on big coin on a long deal and doing this doesn’t tell me he’s the type of person you want hanging around with young players coming into the team.
Very disappointed in him as I thought he’d be a great leader and role model to the next generation.
They will do a deal with us so that doesn’t happen, but other teams may do it still. I’ve always wondered about that scenario , but most teams seem to get away with it.
They were a complete FU based on the fact that the club believed our premiership window was still open and we needed to boost our midfield. Unfortunately they selected the wrong type of midfielders and our stars either got injured or fell off a cliff.
It’s something that’s been done to death now and we’re stuck with them now. I could cop TT, but JH is a massive worry .

I heard, that, with no other player that ever got a 4 year contract, that the compo has been Band 4, but at least been Band 3.
You seem very confident that the compo was correct. Can you share the details of the decision, or do you just trust the afl comp-licitly?
