Then you'd make a terrible list manager
Pick 6 and 31 has ended up being the cost. Horrendous trade. Thanks Dimma.

I was for the trade at the time, but that was a D grade season. Had a lot of pre season hype.

Pick 6 this year most likely Daniel Currin or Ryley Sanders. We missed a gem man hopper is a spud
His last 10 games have been big drop-off.
Pick 6. Wow.
People writing him off after an interrupted pre-season and an in season injury, wow

Didn’t realise his 7 year deal was also a 1 year deal as well
Is this going to be the excuse each year?
1 season or 7 seasons your in fairyland if you believe his worth that or will ever be A grade. Even if we thought we we're playing finals still overs was the offer.
LOL You are trying to make it sound as if being stuck with this BOG average player for the next 6 years (who cost us a Pick 6 & pick 31 and who will be 27 at the start of next year) is somehow a good thing
Be much better off if it was a 1 year deal. His last 3 seasons of the contract wont be good, so the first 4 really had to be.
Did I read somewhere last pre season that due to a permanent heart issue he couldn’t train full time during the pre season ? If so going forward will that change ?

was more than that
Poor list management.
Lucky we have another SIX ****ING YEARS to see how it plays out
The Taranto & Hopper trades are embarrassing for the club. We swaggered like "we are back, baby!!!" & then our coach quit and gave up after 8 weeks to coach the AFL's own club that has no soul & we finished 13th,. It was classic old timey Richmond.
Hopper & Taranto will be 6 year relics of Dimma having a career mid-life crisis. They are like a sports car for a 50 year old with a small dick

A lot can happen in 6 years no point trying to decide the trade a boom or a bust either way at this point
No doubt his year was underwhelming but acting like the sky is falling is just as stupid as assuming pick 6 would have drafted us a gun when it probably would have just drafted us a player in similar caliber to Hopper (who was drafted as pick 7)

Except he was getting treated either way (he had multiple suitors after him)
So no
He wouldn’t of been available as a free agent
