Callum Twomey reporting deal done for F2 and pick 41 along with a switch of other selections

I am whelmed.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I am semi excited for this the more I look into it.

At least Richmond supporters don't shit on his game unlike for Esava and BZT

 

[JimmyBC]

Great name Ivan

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Ivan roller

 

[JimmyBC]

Best news since Doctor Feel gave birth to little baby Ivan.

 

[Schulzenfest]

If nothing else hopefully this puts paid to the 'Port are the common denominator, they're unreasonable, they won't pay up!' narrative. We get deals done, even for contracted and required players, as long as we're dealing with reasonable clubs who will accept fair and reasonable offers.

 

[RossFC]

Wonder what the other pick swaps is? Perhaps upgrading 76 to 65 or something?

 

[thundercloud]

Rucks in place soldo, sweet, visenti maybe one other. Great result.

76 to 65, then swap 65 to 35 in the BZT-Duursma trade?

 

[Phar Ted]

So many rightfully have been moaning about our horrible rucks this year, good to see that attempts have been made to improve this area. In Soldo and Sweet - out Lycett and Hayes is a decent improvement.
Dante building nicely should now have the rucks organised for a few years, now to work on speedy forwards.

Don't see that latter part happening.

I think we roll with those 3, and also have Finlayson, Dixon, Lord and Scully as pinch hit options at whatever level.

 

[Roksman]

Look after him

Much loved, a great character.

I will never change my avatar.

 

[Malibu#27]

Don't see that latter part happening.

Agreed. Zero chance that 35 comes to us in the BZT / Duursma deal on its own and I cant see how it could be used in a pick swap.

[b0ydman Jr]

Hope it's not too premature, but welcome to port Inav Sodol!

 

[PortPortPort]

Won't be official til 3pm, won't stop journos reporting it. Welcome aboard Soldo.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Great name Ivan

Don't call him Ivan though

It's pronounced Ivan

 

[TeeKray]

This is the best of our acquisitions.

 

[It Just Is]

Good bit of business. It will be such a boost for our midfield to be playing alongside a competent ruck.

 

[Coobk001]

I think you guys would be happy with your purchase , took two seasons to come back from his ACL in ‘20 , really got his confidence back sec half this season ,,,many suggesting gone past nank , ruckwork has always been very good , marking returned and while not prettiest kick for goal , often straight , trade is overs by extra oic 41 but tigers wouldn’t release him unless it was

Yeah and that's the price you pay, I think most of us are happy to pay for Soldo given he's contracted. Whether we need both him and Sweet is a different convo. Now for the Cats and in particular the Bombers to understand that cost of a contracted vs uncontracted player.

He's pretty credible when it comes to us at the moment, seems to have an inside line, so looks like this is done.

 

[theouthouse]

When you have a Ruck that can be mobile enough to get around the ground and takes a grab or two it really adds extra strength to the defensive side of a setup.

Maybe Twomey is C4

 

[Roksman]

He will suit you guys because of your midfield talent in Rozee and Butters.

Don't expect an around the ground star because he's not that - but his tap work is where he excels. If he knocks it down to them on the move, he will thrive in your team.

Wish him all the best, love the big man.
