Just let the druggos draft him and we will trade for him when his contracts up
We will give them a 3rd round pick and one of Dusty’s pubes

this does not make any sense at all.

How does like live trading help us get Riolis brother now?

Please explain?
Ok to preface this i dont know how the academies system work and if B.Rioli would have to nominate Essendon or whether hes locked into it. Tbh i didnt even know he was eligible for one of their academies.

If he does not nominate Essendon and moves into the National Draft then aslong as our recruiting dept are on the ball and have him ranked appropriately then as Carlton did with Stoker we could trade into a position to select him. Its not guaranteed but with the ability to live trade it makes it easier for clubs to trade into positions to pick up players they want.

As far as i can see it would all depend on him not pre-nominating Essendon in the academy process.

Basically now with live trading it should be somewhat easier to target a player and get them in the draft.
 
Or maybe he isn't even that good? I don't want him just because of his surname. Our team will rank him accordingly and I am more than happy to select another player if we rate them higher - I don't want to become like Carlton and draft Silvagni's even when they're crapola.

End of the day, Daniel is a special talent, which is why he was a first round pick. Time will tell with Braydon and 17 other clubs will bid to keep Essendon honest if he's actually a top talent.

Meanwhile we'll sit comfortably knowing we're getting Maurice Rioli Jnr the following year - who is looks like the real deal according to scouts.
 
Thats the beauty of live draft pick trading now though. Makes it far easier to trade into a position to get him now.
Still doesn’t work if someone gets him first , I’d doubt we d trade to get no 1 selection. I’ll go out on a limb and say he doesn’t fill a need , even more so with likely recruitment of MJ

Correct , give the man a cigar , what’s way more likely is ess make us pay up for MJ , don’t think we ll get luxury of everyone snoozing like they did with naishy

I did say there is no guarantee. Just that it's easier to do now with live trading than it was before.

how do you figure?

If he doesn't want to go to Essendon and nominates for the draft and we rate him between pick xx and xx then we can try trade accordingly (including live trading) to try get ourselves into a position to draft him (provided he is worth it)

not understanding how that isnt a way of helping us get him if he nominates for the ND?

This just isnt gunna happen for heaps of reasons.

1. Rioli will have allready signed on for the essendon academy and he cant get out of it.
2. If he goes to the bombers He is guaranteed to stay in melbourne with his bro and cannot risk going interstate
3. It assumes that Richmond will value Rioli and have the picks for Rioli that would meet the points required to get him, it also assumes we would outbid any bid for him which cannot be assumed.

This is the sort of theoretical discussion that in practice cannot and will not happen due to the massive downside risks both to Rioli, and to Richmond.

The best thing the tigers can hope for is to bid on Rioli and hope Essendon will not match, and that wont happen either if he is any good, due to the fact that the bombers will have a 20 % discount.

We need to move on, Rioli will be playing for the bombers guaranteed.

I don't think anyone disagrees with any of that, but the question / scenario being thrown around was just based around your point 3 and IF he does happen to nominate for the ND then it does give us (and anyone else) a chance to target him specifically via live trading etc.

We already have the best Rioli anyway so its a mute point :p

We have the best Rioli is not a 'mute' point...it's a very loud one!!!!
 
Willie is the best Rioli. Just ask the main board.

It isn't a draft, it is up to the club to offer a contract, and then the player accepting. It is possible that another team like Carlton or Hawthorn offer him a contract, but the player makes the ultimate decision
Why was this moved from Stack to Rioli thread? It is discussing the procedure for Stack to be listed by Richmond, nothing to do with a Rioli.

oops sorry my fault, it got mixed up with all the others. sorry about that.
 
Have I missed something...... I thought Rioli was ours??

Maurice Jnr is all but ours (he has strongly indicated he wants to come to us should he be good enough to make it)

a lot of the talk recently has been about Daniels Brother who is in the Academy zone for Essendon.

so to get him he would have to knock back essendon and nominate for the draft and hope he slips to us. (long shot)

Or we just promise him we will pick him up much as our first or second pick (assuming he won't be rated that highly) and force Essendon to either pay overs for him or them just letting him go (just like Hawthorn let Mosquito go to Essendon).
