i like Gerard Healy. One of the few Victorian media personalities that will talk up non-victorian sides and players
We have more than enough dead wood on the list to keep Rioli even if he misses all of 2021 IMO.18 months may as well be 12 months given he won't miss games. Sounds too slim to me.
On the other hand, 24 months may see him finished as an Eagles player - we aren't going to bring him in ~2 weeks before finals 2021 (assuming we make it) when he hasnt trained with us in 2 years, let alone played a game.
Maybe something like 21 months will placate both sides. He misses a season and a half and it gives him a chance to redeem himself in the second half of 2021.
3 years would be 28, without a game played since...The only scenario I'm not keeping him is a 4 year ban, he is too good to cut otherwise.
3 years would be an unusual sized ban. I would be putting it on him to stay fit and motivated, if he can't then he gets cut. It is very tough on him but the reality is that his decisions have put him where he is, it is not anyone else fault. I want to give him every opportunity to come back and I want him playing for us again.3 years would be 28, without a game played since...
I would say anything more than 2 would be the clubs max. It will be hard to maintain his fitness, focus and touch for more than 2 seasons I'd imagine. Bare in mind, he can't play state level either. I'm not sure if he's allowed to train with the club or not during that time.
He stands out - but a three figure IQ certainly helps given the company he keeps.Gerard Healy is pretty good.
One of the top contributors to this threadThere will be a hearing in front of the AFL Anti Doping Tribunal. ASADA will present a case that Willie contravened ASADA rules and will put forward a penalty they think is fair given the facts of the case. QC David Grace will present his case, which is highly unlikely to dispute the facts, or any wrong doing, but will be centred around mitigating factors.
The AFL tribunal will hand down a penalty they think is fair. They will need to ensure that the penalty is satisfactory in ASADA's view, otherwise ASADA may challenge the ruling and it could play out all of next year too.
To me 12 months feels too light. Anywhere from 15-24 months is probably the sweet spot in my view. 18 months would allow him to play from March 12 (i.e. round 1) and return to the club one month before his ban ends (February 12).
Can't help but think ASADA is going to push for 4 years unfortunately.
If he kept himself fit, I'd keep Rioli even if he got 4 years. Could easily get 6/7 years out of him after he came back

Yes he’s able to step outside his Victorian suit unlike most of his mates, he did play for Sydney though so that probably gave him a different look.i like Gerard Healy. One of the few Victorian media personalities that will talk up non-victorian sides and players
What's his contract situation? Could we not sign him to a minimum value extension coinciding with his ban period?Won't happen. Reduced list sizes and reduced TPP. More than 2 years and he will be off the list.
I must have missed this part.I feel like weve got some half decent small forwards the problem in 2020 was they were all injured/unavailable at the same time and when they did play they didnt cement their spot.
