Willie Rioli - banned substance

[bulldogtragic]

So, hypothetically, WCE cut him loose due to trust issues and having Liam Ryan already playing his role, would anyone here have an interest in us picking up Willie Rioli?

A few conditions, including but not limited to:

- passing a full physical
- a clean drug test
- chat with our sports psych
- interview with Power, Bevo, Bonts, Varcoe and a couple of others
- base salary
- one year deal
- trigger for a second with a laundry list of things being met
- strict code of conduct & expectations
- DFA acquisition, no trade made

If all those things (& possibly more) were ticked off, I could live with it.

I'd probably leave out the laundry list of things being met to trigger a second year and keep it simple with one or two key goals. After his time out of the game a softer introduction to professional footy would lead to better results in my view.

Behavioural stuff is a bit different. There's non-negotiables that he needs to meet, but he's also got to be part of a team and I don't think you can hold him to any stricter account than you can his team mates. He probably just has less rope if he stuffs up.
