He has 1 best and fairest in a spoon year and 0 AAs.
I rate Rioli and Bolton as our two best players by some way. I certainly don't over-rate our list, Vlastuin isn't far behind, but other than that... nothing. Lynch obviously when playing.

Before this season I wouldn't have mentioned Rioli, but he was brilliant this year and without him we would never had gotten the ball pst the wing.
 
Once again, BF nuffies overrating early picks over proven players who will strengthen your team over a kid who "might" years later. It's like BF thinks every top 10 picks land every time, lol. Rinse and repeat the same shit every spring.
What have the zillion early picks done for Nth Melbourne the last 8 years?
I'd rather have the Geelong & Collingwood strategy every day of the week.
 
Something like 6 and (20 or F1) for 2 or 3 would be close enough in this draft. They have piles of other picks they can add if they need to haggle.

If you guys get pick 11 or 12 for Rioli it would be a big win, no need to be greedy.
Hmmm… we have 6 and 20.
Would probably do that.

Well I know who is better out of Sinclair and Rioli. Doesn’t take much to work that problem out.
If he is rated by GC's professional list managers & wanted by the club, then that is what matters. Is Sinclair on the market is he? It's irrelevant who's "better". He was targeted by GC & will fill a need for them. Proven player will hit the ground running rather than a lottery of pick 6 (8), who may make it.
GC need to play finals, they have academy players coming in, clearly they don't rate pick 6 as some BF "experts" do.

So much for the BF experts who predicted we’d only get pick 6 and that was overs.
So picks 6 and 23. For Rioli and some junk picks. Nicely done team. :D

Meanwhile opposition posters will keep slagging off on Rioli’s ability. WTf cares?

Guess what? It doesn’t matter, he belongs to the Suns now. Good luck Daniel and thanks for your contribution to our 3 Premierships.
 
Might need to start haggling then. I think we'll ask for 6 + 10/11 and hopefully something like 6 + 14 would get done.
Pick #3 was #12 + #14 and north are a motivated seller
#6 + #20 will be about what i would do and Blair is pretty determined but is depends how desperate he is for a 4 pick upgrade in this draft where you can throw a blanket over the first 7-8 players from reports
#11 + #14 was the going rate looking at the eagles deal

That's not the full story though is it. You're talking about trading out struggling teams arguably best and most consistent player. In his prime, contracted for a long time and has a name famous at the club aswell.

Why do I have the feeling that you don't believe any of that?
