I'd rather stick with Hayes and Visentini than give up 2 2nd rounders for a stop gap ruck who is 28 and will be a plodder like Lycett in no time.

We should’ve offered her a place as club doctor, unless the nepotism only extends as far as the coaches family.Hence we threw everything at Grundy (alas his missus did not see her medical career progressing in SA).
I think this is a likely scenario.This will get done. Richmond dont have many draft picks and theres no point in holding him for another year
Hinkley will knock all that out of him in one preseasonTough as nails, good overhead and a very good set shot for goal.
We're paying overs because Hinkley and co. are desperate to avoid a bottom 8 finish. That will tip a lot more supporters into the sack Hinkley camp. The club ignored the obvious solution weeks back - appoint a new coach.
Last roll of the dice for Hinkley though. Bugger the future.Yuck 41 and future 2nd. That’s a foul offer and we’re idiots if we do have that on the table.
Richmond lose him for nothing next year. Like actually nothing.
He played 8 games this season, is 3rd in line ruck and is a Scott lycett level stopgap for us:
That’s a 4th rounder trade, which I could understand Richmond not taking.
We’re going to burn 2 drafts (this years and next) going after list filling types we could have developed.
Shhhhhh.......... something something it's all Ken's faultIs 41 and a second really overs for Soldo? He's contracted and decent.
We are probably being a bit desperate but i don't think it is to avoid a bottom 8 finish, i think we genuinely think we are in the premiership window so are pushing hard towards that. whether that is right or wrong is up for debate. But i don't think the club is even thinking about a bottom 8 finish.We're paying overs because Hinkley and co. are desperate to avoid a bottom 8 finish.

Yep I'm OK with getting in more mature players instead of more kids that'll need developing, when we already have plenty in that bracket, and especially in positions where they generally need a few years before they're ready. Worry about the draft again in a year or two.Don't think this deal is as bad as people are making out. Severe overrating of draft picks.

Soldo isn't 3rd in line at Richmond....well he is and he isn't. He is arguably a better #1 ruck than Nankervis but he is our captain so he isn't missing out. I assume Norris was talking about Samson Ryan as the 2nd option. He is definitely not better currently than Soldo as a ruckman, but he can play forward and has a higher ceiling than both Nankervis and Soldo.
In short - Soldo is arguably our best ruckman, but it's 1st ruck or not in the team for him. You guys will like him if a deal gets done. His tap work is elite and he's a bit of a campaigner, which is a pretty crucial attribute for a big man IMO.
Edit: Also it seemed to take a fair while to get over the ACL but he looked much more mobile in the back end of the season.
