I believe that's true, hence the Atrocious and Atkins diet trades out from GC.

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
not sure how that's possible given they gave up #13 already. they simply won't trade any future picks so it's going to be #6 & #23 or whatever it is
With what we give back to GC to bid on Lombard it will be about the equivalent of 6 & 49, but we still get 23
The deals done but papers can't be lodged till 2pm - 7.30pm today.
Looks like we aren't paying Daniels or Boltons wage = winning
see this is the incompetence I was talking about, we should have given these late picks in the swap with Brisbane, then we could have given 32 to Gold Coast, or something?
I thought some posters said we’d get P6 and p13 for Rioli.
Bloody Blair starts off handing over our prized picks quicker than Albo changes his mind.
Then he slows down slower than a Joe Biden speech and we miss p13.
Lordy, I spose we’ve just got to take what we can now.
Is that because Old Man Johnson has a haircut and a round of golf on Wednesdays?
What did those of that looked at the big picture after the Brisbane trade instead of sharpening the pitchforks say? That we were probably using them with GC, which got us Pick 23, but they wanted 32.see this is the incompetence I was talking about, we should have given these late picks in the swap with Brisbane, then we could have given 32 to Gold Coast, or something?
I reckon Blairs dealt with these perfectly. The Bolton trade probably a bit unders, but overall we've got a very good return from losing those players. I reckon he gets an A+ for this trade period, even allowing for a bit of unders on Shai.

Personally I never saw a way we'd get 6 and 13, that was always ridiculous expectations from some
Yeah it was always just an opening bid.
Yes, pending final lodging of the deals, this looks like an AA++ from Blair. One of the all-time great, probably greatest, single season list management efforts I'd say. If there was a Brownlow for administrators (and he wasn't a Richmond employee), he'd be unbackable favourite.
Brilliant planning, brilliant execution, strategic analysis and negotiation. I can't remember a better performance, from us or any side. Absolutely stellar performance in a very tough, cut throat arena. I love Blair.

Obviously Brisbane didn’t want it after all.see this is the incompetence I was talking about, we should have given these late picks in the swap with Brisbane, then we could have given 32 to Gold Coast, or something?
Then we could have given it to Freo and saved p14
That's about right where Rioli and Bolton are concerned. V good with Rioli....a bit unders with Bolton (that deal is being overrated on PRE). Add back in a good outcome with Baker and it gets it back to about a B+ A overall rating for mine for the entire trade period. (Would be less for those that think the AFL shafted us on the Graham deal and want to include that in the overall period. Whatevs.)
