Willie Rioli - banned substance

Re: Willie Rioli - banned substance

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.

Re: Willie Rioli - banned substance

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.
