Junior Rioli is hopeful of landing at Port Adelaide during this year’s trade period, revealing it’s a move he and his late father had planned before his sudden death this year.

Port is understood to have a lucrative multi-year offer for the talented West Coast goalsneak, who is out of contract and already undergone a medical with the SA club.

6PR sports presenter Paddy Sweeney told Gareth Parker on Breakfast it appears Rioli has already decided to leave the Eagles.

“You wouldn’t go interstate… if things weren’t progressed down the track,” he told Parker.

Rioli met with Port Adelaide premiership star Shaun Burgoyne in Adelaide on Monday, who he says helped give him a perspective of what it’s like to live in Adelaide.

The 27-year-old hopes the contract offer will sets him up for life after a tumultuous 18 months. Rioli was drafted by the Eagles with the 52nd pick of the 2016 draft and has played 51 games and kicked 60 goals for the club.
