The guy who racked up 9 coaches votes against you? He's top 10 for coaches votes at the Cats this year FYI, should do alright in the bnf

To be fair every in media are talking about Tigers going all in on a rebuild, Taranto and Hopper are both in long term contracts that could have some use at the trade table.
Don’t think it will happen, I don’t start the thread, but it isn’t out of the question 100%

Very true, but plenty of talk about the list and what the a tigers should do.
Hopper and Taranto are on the big dollars long term. It’s a fair question.

$700-750 isnt really big dollars.
Its not a fair question when we already have 4-5 senior bodies with a foot out the door, we are not trading everyone, and we are not pushing anyone out the door.
By your reasoning, we could have a thread on every contracted senior player which is just stupidity.

Yeah but us getting PAID Pick 7 to take Bowes is exactly the same thing as Richmond coughing up two top picks for Hopper.....

Exactly the same logic as Melbourne with Oliver - if you're obviously going to rebuild and have a player on big $$ and a long contract that is not performing at that level, is it worth cutting your losses to get that off your books?
Tiger fans seem to have pretty much the same attitude towards Hopper that Dees fans have towards Oliver, at least from what I've seen - would be absolutely worth it if he was 100% fit and firing, but the contract is big concern if he DOESN'T get back to fit and firing.

Price check on Bowes please? He's on about 600k this year and OOC next year I reckon

Hey, that a was a solid third round pick we gave up. Can't forget that.
Bowes was free with pick 7, so do you understand free.
600k you reckon lol
Its $800k guaranteed , and he is a vfl player worth about $250k
$800k a year is not free, and then you wasted Pick 7 on Clarke, Win/Win lol

You understand his contract was smoothed out right?
And if he's a vfl player then what does it say that he got 9 coaches votes against your side?
Ok you good talking to you, nothing upstairs have a good day.
It says we are last ?

Well I'd say top 10 for votes at a side in the top 4 is doing ok for a "vfl" player

Ummm no, he's top 10 for the Cats against all teams for the year combined. The only side we're yet to play is West Coast.
Which you wasted lolAnd pick 7
