Traded Tim Taranto [Traded to Richmond for #12 and #19]

[Schulzenfest]

You lost me here, that is a silly comment on the best of days, as silly as my suggestion if you will?

A gun KPP is so much harder to find, especially one as young and versatile as Balta.

On a serious note, I would love Taranto, our first, possibly top 10 and steak knives is where that deal would be done.

So basically you want one of the best young players at another club but it's 'silly' that one of the best young players at your club would be involved and the other club should be forced to accept the magic beans of a mid first rounder instead?

The deal won't happen, player for player trades basically never happen, but if it did it certainly wouldn't be unfair on Richmond.

 

[bird_man]

He is worth a top 10 pick, where in that range would depend on the club chasing him and what they have.

The issue for GWS is they wont be able to play the, "we will just keep him" card. It wont be a fire sale scenario, but I reckon this trade has unders written all over it.

I can't see why it is different to any other quality player that wants to leave that isn't under contract

Rarely does a club just accept unders for them because they know they aren't staying

Most players traded over the last few years for top end picks were out of contract

Y'know i didn't realise Taranto is only 24. Will only improve from here

Gun KPP's always hold a trade premium over a mid. I also said top 10 pick, could be early.

I reckon GWS will need the salary dump, if it aint him its someone else

 

[bzparkes]

'his ceiling is as high as any KPP in the game' really?
His ceiling is higher than Max and Ben King?

Depends how old his house is, tbh. Older houses usually have higher ceilings.

When does a club give up one of their best players about to hit the peak if their career as a salary dump and accept unders though?

We hear the same old thing with quality Giants players every year and they get a good deal for them

Even Cameron who they were offering less for than Geelong, they were able to still match the offer and get a good trade for

Different story if its someone like Hannebery who is past their best or Will Brodie who is out of favour but you don't accept unders for one of your best players just to free up cap space

He'll get a contract offer from the Giants, even if it's a lot less than other clubs. Giants will then get a good deal for him if he leaves

Possibly, but the GWS cap situation isnt the norm either.

It hasn't been for a long time but it hasn't stopped them getting good deals for their best players

They've used the likes of Paton and Scully as salary dumps or players that haven't been able to quite crack it

 

[Libbaaaa]

Good player, can't recall too many games where he has really left his mark though. Would be a nice piece to add to an established midfield but he'll probably be demanding A grade money which I don't think is justified.

 

[fargothegreat]

Will go to Saints imo.

We'll probably have interest, but I doubt we could afford him.

Would be a good fit for them.

 

[Gratees]

After tonight, Hope richmond doesn't make a play for him, Would cost to much draft capital. Would be the number 1 man in our mid but one man alone won't fix our midfield. Rather us head to the draft

 

[rubbers0ul]

Exactly, great example.

/Hannebery money saved up, would make an enormous point of difference in one of our weaker areas and fit the age profile extremely well.

Still though seems to be keen on staying in Sydney from what the media says but if GWS continue to have a poor season who knows?

 

[Orange Agent]

Salary dumps are players still under contract.

If you let him go to get his salary off the books, its the same thing

 

[fargothegreat]

Sounds as though he's keen to stay and GWS are keen to keep him.

Surely GWS has to offload one of these mids to try and get some speed and variety into their midfield mix? Hopper seemed the obvious choice last year, but I guess when these guys keep offering to stay for less because they like playing for the club it's hard to turn them away.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

If we lose DeGoey we could be in the conversation.

 

[theyellowsash]

Possibly not yet, but from what we have seen, and for his age (only 22) his ceiling is as high as any KPP in the game. Does he reach those heights?

not if he keeps being played forward.
His ceiling if played back is alex rance.
His ceiling if played forward is brad miller.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Taranto for Noah Balta?

No thanks

 

[bird_man]

St Kilda keeping a close eye on him apparently

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Seems like him or Hopper are likely to be squeezed out of the Giants. Saints should be all over him.

Would love him in the red and white.
