Richmond star Daniel Rioli will join the Gold Coast Suns next year.
As first reported by Nine’s chief football reporter Tom Morris, the two clubs have agreed to a trade which will see the No.6 and No.23 draft picks head to Punt Road.
Rioli’s trade, along with Shai Bolton’s move to Fremantle, will allow the Tigers to have eight of the top 24 selections of next year’s rookie class.

The decisions will mark the end of an era at Richmond, with both departing players part of premiership success at the club during their tenures.
Rioli has played 183 games in the yellow and black jersey, scoring 109 goals and playing in three successful AFL deciders.
The 27-year-old picked up the Jack Dyer Medal for the club’s best and fairest this year, but it wasn’t enough to keep him at the struggling franchise.
“Daniel brings class and pace to our backline which we are really excited about,” Suns general manager of player talent and strategy Craig Cameron said.
“We know he has great experience being in a successful system and believe he will be a valuable leader for our group in the coming years.”
The other departure Bolton scored an eye-catching 165 goals in 135 games during his time at Richmond and featured in two grand final victories.
Three-time flag winner Dustin Martin has also left the Tigers, sticking to his guns and honouring the retirement decision he made earlier this year.
One man who won’t be going anywhere is Noah Balta, with the key defender putting pen to paper on a seven-year contract extension last week.
