Time for some house cleaning.

You sold the farm for Kelly yes or no?

2 late firsts and a shuffling of late picks isn't what I'd consider 'selling the farm' for a bloke who came third in the Brownlow, no.

Especially considering where those players who went at those picks ended up.

Yet you reckon 2 1sts and 2 2nds for both Taranto and Hopper in total was selling the farm.
And you question our GM.

You think all 1sts are the same?

Well, Hopper's permanently injured and anyone could tell your team was on the decline.

WCE topped up a bloke who almost won a Brownlow for a final shot at a flag, whilst Richmond brought in 2 blokes(one who has chronic injury issues) right when they should've been looking to start a rebuild instead.

If WCE did the Kelly trade in 2021, that'd be a whole different discussion.

you need to consider this on both sides.

Interesting how you saw our decline but not yours and it was fine you had one last roll of the dice but the team who actually performed beyond one season shouldnt have, take off the rose colored glasses old mate.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Looks like he is an Eagle in 2025. With a bottom 3 finish their 2nd rounder looks not far off the mark - maybe with some exchangers of later picks to help it over the line.

Why exchange of later picks?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Source but in fairness, no longer at the club, albeit not retired that long.

How is your wife(peggy)?

You know at the time of the trade is was a f1 for Hopper.Our pov at the time was pick 18.

Yeah and everyone else knew it’d be top 10.

Love it how people form opinions in hindsight.
Dimma believed we had one more chance for a flag hence Taranto & Hopper.
Went pair shaped obviously.

Link?

LOL, there were plenty of media peeps reporting at the time they saw us top 4 with those additions.

The ‘first’ round picks weren’t the ones that hurt that trade. The pick 37 was, one before Chad Warner when who knows if we had that pick, If he was on our radar

First is true but where were those first round picks.

Ralphy and Caro?

Let the bidding war begin.

TT-12
Hopp-8

That's easy too say in hindsight.
Today's form Warner would be top 5

Rumors are that we made a offer to match the round of draft pick we are willing to give up to get him. A 5th rounder seems ideal

Have we ever seen a 'long term deal' tabled in a trade that got done for less than a 1st rounder?

 

[Morro]

Ralphy and Caro?

Whatever helps with your made up shit posts

Depends what the $$$ are. See Rioli trade with power and how we got reamed even with long term deal.
