Recommitted Daniel Rioli [Signs until 2027]

[The Nostradamus]

Out of contract after signing a 1 year deal last year

Has cemented his spot in hbf and in very good form

Has more bargaining power at the contract table this year

 

[Marcel Proust]

Unlikely he wants to leave mrj?

Who knows, MRJ also out of contract

Ralph Carr will be fishing for a big pay day

 

[Rich01]

Nah. He loves playing with his uncle. Will sign a three year deal later on in the year.

Been fantastic this year and good to see this acknowledged by oppo fans.

Rioli's been great this year but he'd still be behind Broad and Short in the B&F and if Vlastuin had played more games, likely him also. Don't think there'll be much of a market for him (or at least I can't immediately think of a club that would be paying big bucks) and consequently I think he'll stay given the family ties to the club. He'll get fair value I would have thought.

Suspect both MRJ and Dan will take short term deals around 2 years and try and maximise their next contract, though there's no real cap pressure at Richmond in the next few years given quite a few players will come off our books.

Reckon both Rioli's will stay.

Had a 1 year "prove it" deal, and with a positional change it's saved his career at Tigerland.

Reckon they both (Dan & MJ) love it there.

Makes good financial sense for him, he's only getting better in this new role and he might want to see what offers he gets as leverage or to consider compared to what Richmond offer him.

Still see him signing a 3-4 year deal with Richmond I think.

 

[Simche]

Fairly sure he put contract talks off until the end of year both previous times.

Good move by him and his management. He's adding value to his contract every week.

Don't think he'll move as I doubt anyone will offer huge money for him. If they do, good on them, as with Ralphsmith, Baker, Short all being able to play that running/rebound role, I don't think he would be a huge loss despite his very good form.

 

[tiger_tough]

Standard Ralph Carr procedure.

Can't see him ever leaving Richmond. Seems to be loving his footy at half back and in career best form. Has earned himself a nice little pay rise.

Yep he definetly did last year but that I think was due to him being in and out of the side. Which made sense to do a 1 year deal since he couldn’t negotiate that much

This time he’s been best 22 the whole time and would be doing it to maximise the contract

Sure. He put off contract talks and the club signed a 1 year extension. Lol.

When he wasnt playing that well. The club was in control of the process last two years not the other way around.

After spending the last two seasons with no contract for the following year Id suggest he will want a 3 to 4 year deal as security . Especially now he's playing much better. And more $.

Time for him to look after himself and future family.

Rioli no longer with Ralph Carr. He and Bolton switched managers.

 

[tiger_tough]

I reckon he'll sign a 3 year deal when the time is right

 

[Libbaaaa]

His attack on the ball is so good. Don’t think I’m out line saying he was a flakey small forward type (albeit triple premiership player), now I don’t expect him to lose a one on one contest in the back half.

He put off contract talks because the offer on the table was for less than he wanted given the form he was in. Yes the leverage of the club was greater at that time than it is now, but they hardly forced him to sign a deal.

He's more than welcome to shop himself round and get the best deal. He still wouldn't be the priority for Richmond in re-signing. That would be Liam Baker.
Dan will get an offer of a 3-4 year deal with a pay rise, I don't think anyone is disputing that. There'll be salary cap aplenty in the coming years as Cotchin, Riewoldt and Martin all transition to less money/retirement and therefore I think Richmond's deal will be pretty competitive.

I also don't see another club offering significant money for him. That being said, the quotes around Amon at the moment send my head spinning so who knows?

He's a RFA and a experienced premiership player x 3 and not old.

I can most definitely see other clubs offering more years and more $$$ as it costs nothing pick wise and he'd be best 22 straight away.

The Suns especially.

If the Eagles are set on retaining Willie I would put an offer to him. Eagles need decent half back who can defend and rebound.

Richmond will be hoping to get him cheaper due to Maurice Jnr being there.

 

[Rich01]

Dan and JNR are as good as signed.
Nice to see other club supporters think they are decent though.

The report this week saying Dan had parked contract talks to end of the year must have been BS.

You have inside info then?

Yep. The hold up has been due to a change in management, no other reason. Both parties committed to signing in due course.

 

[Vindicater]

No way he leaves but his season this year has given him some nice bargaining power

He's gone from a token contract to commanding a reasonable term and sizable monetary increase.

Another 27 touches yesterday, good move deferring contract talks

Hope it does not blow out too much.
