Very sad to see him go. Hopefully can use those draft picks wisely.

He’s 28 in April of next year. They might get 4-5 good years. We’ve nailed this one
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Daniel was Ch7 news tonight as part of the Suns launch of their new logo and atrocious guernsey

He admitted he had made up his mind to leave after his coffee catch up with Dimma early in the season and was ashamed of what he did or how he did it >:(

Then waffled something about how hard it was to leave Richmond and Uncle Maurice...but will confess stop listening to him after his comments about wanting out..

At least he played for the jumper and had a crack all year

Can’t say the same about the other three ..

It wouldn't surprise me if Dimma manipulated Dan enough and guilt tripped him into coming and helping him at the Suns after all Dimma did for Dan when he came to Richmond.
Go Tigers!

It really doesn’t matter, pick 6 and 23 are a more than fair return for a 28 yo back flanker

Sounds like surgery for an MCL. Bummed for him.

Don't wish an injury on any AFL player (ok maybe Daicos, Maynard, Dangerflop and Stewart) but Rioli is closer to 30 than 25 and it can go pear shaped from there very quickly.  Just ask Dusty and Lids
