List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency talk Pt 5

[4tune8]

Well.....

Bugger, damn, poo, bitch, bum........

 

[Tygrys]

What a great day. From what I know, Hopper was our main target as we believed early on that GWS would not allow Tarranto to fall out. Fortunately for us, last years trade period obviously did not work as GWS hoped and Tarranto was gettable. Our club is elite in how it manages TPP, and are the leaders in the competition.

7 year contracts will be the norm for elite talent, you just watch as it allows clubs to maneuver payments while waiting for the TPP to jump as high as 25% in that time. The silver lining, when Tarranto and Hopper are 33, we can then trade them to the cats.

What I am most happy with is THAT FINALY it looks like the media now knows what I have been saying since round 4. DUSTY LOVES THE CLUB, IS FULLY INVESTED AND WILL NOT LEAVE!!!!

Last point. I get names from those I trust. Because I trust my network, that is why I will share the name. So please understand, I can go years early, so if you hear a name and you dont believe it as at that time you think its impossible. Its not me telling porkies, its me banking on how accurate my mates are and have been as 24 months is a long time in footy and what is impossible now, is not in 12, or 24 months time.

So what's the latest info on what draft picks and/or players this will cost?

 

[Tiges1229]

I would have liked another gun defender our defence is at moment as a collective group

 

[AstuteTiger]

What a great day for our club. Fantastic news!!!

 

[austyn08]

Im not thrilled with 7 for Hopper but I don't think anything could dull my mood right now.

Get 1 or two premiership in that it’s a contract well spent

Ball won’t go down there now. They’ll look elite again

 

[Kegs]

He's been sitting on this tweet for 4 months. Just had to milk the clicks the flog. He will start it up again next year nothing more certain

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Cats board saltier than their coach about Hopper and taranto, delicious.

 

[Nostradumbass]

But-but I thought Taranto following all the pies players on instagram meant he was going there

Coooollllllliinnnngggwoooooodddd

 

[Tiger71]

So whats Hoppers contract deal roundabout?

That I dont know and would be guessing, I just get names I know we are after

 

[Chunky09]

Lol at the scats board
"
Taranto and Hopper both to Richmond is like a Hawthorn post premierships/St Kilda top up IMO. B grade players on big contracts. Rarely ends well.

While we haven't yet been ultimately successful topping up we haven't really gone for that tier of player save for Henderson. We have either coughed up for the A graders (Danger, Cameron) or shopped cheaply for undervalued players (Tuohy, Smith, Rohan etc). Much easier to manage the cap that way"

Are they forgetting they drafted jenkins LOL
Our last "B" grade players in big contracts, prestia and lynch ended up in flags.

Idiots

Not to mention
Rohan
Dahlhaus
Stanley

Trading tactic 101 when dealing with a club that 'MUST' clear cap space

Offer low
wait until last day
consume all the time possible to leave them with little option
last 30 mins come and no cap space cleared

Lets do a deal

and other savvy additions, seem set up to avoid the pitfalls of the standard rebuild.

They already have a strong list. While they failed to win a final, they finished the year with the fourth-best percentage in the AFL, and did not lose a game by more than a goal after Round 6.

The new method for clubs in the premiership hunt appears to be combining a slow but steady stream of retirements with the retention of veterans on lower salaries and then bringing in some significant signings on long-term deals that allow for salary cap maneuverability as needed.

what Foxfooty.com.au understands is a bigger offer than that of Geelong - another side in the rebuild on the run mould.

The Tigers are positioned incredibly well not only to accommodate those deals, but also trade for them.

As it stands, the Tigers hold picks 12, 19 and 30 in this year’s draft as well as a first-round pick in next year’s draft.

The Giants will start high in their asking price, wanting two first-round picks in exchange for Taranto.

In addition to that, the Giants will also want a first-round pick for Hopper.

If there’s one thing the Geelong of 2023 has proven, it’s that three first-round picks going out the door doesn’t signal the ultimate all-in gamble many thought it was at the time.

The Cats have eschewed most equalisation conventions, keeping themselves in the premiership window and already having a significant number of younger players ready to take over when the likes of Joel Selwood and Tom Hawkins

hang up the boots.

It’s unlikely the final trade deals will involve a total of three first-round picks, but in any case by the end of it they’ll have at least one more walk-up starter in the midfield, which has looked thin at times and has been left undermanned when Dion Prestia

heading across, or some negotiating done over the breakdown of Hopper’s salary next season, one suspects Richmond will hold at least one first-round pick in this year’s or next year’s draft.

Whatever new talent comes in will join an already impressive young brigade headlined by Josh Gibcus and Noah Cumberland.

The Tigers took three players inside the top 30 of last year’s draft, led by Gibcus, with Tyler Sonsie (pick 28) also playing in the elimination final, and Judson Clarke (pick 30) featuring at times through the season.

It’s a positive sign for the rejuvenation of Damien Hardwick’s side that they had six finals debutants against Brisbane - Gibcus, Cumberland, Sonsie, Ben Miller, Maurice Rioli and Jack Ross

- despite all of their recent appearances in September.

Taranto and Hopper, 24 and 25 respectively, will add to the mid-aged bracket of the Tigers and provide the grunt, while the likes of Cotchin and Riewoldt continuing could prove the perfect stopgap while the younger Tigers develop.

Richmond’s premiership dynasty may’ve ended in 2020, but savvy list management means the next dynasty could be closer than we think.

 

[Tiger71]

So what's the latest info on what draft picks and/or players this will cost?

That is a good question. I know Hugo name has come up a few times, as has Millers name. RCD, Stack and the like have no currency. I also have heard Ryan Mansell name as well

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Just waiting for the AFL to announce a trip to punt road to check the books. If we do well with the trade I can see some retribution coming back our way.

You can’t trace brown paper bags

Is hopper worth seven years?
I know a lot about Taranto but not a lot about hopper. Seven years seems extreme

 

[tigs2010]

Gotta hand it to Tiger71

 

[Bojangles17]

The thing that me makes smile the most about this is the timing.

They couldn't wait to tell the world that they wanted to be tigers

They didn't even wait for Geelong to crash out of the finals, and give them the courtesy of one last pitch, one last desperate attempt of Hopper going to catland.

Hopper and Taranto want the world to know they want to be with us, they are in love and want to make the relationship Instagram official

Its like they have been in a bad relationship ( GWS ) and have met the love of their lives ( Richmond ) and can't wait to move in.

The feeling is mutual.

They are allready Richmond men.

I like it ,,,,,,a lot

 

[Tiger71]

I would have liked another gun defender our defence is at moment as a collective group

Unlike most sides, our defense and midfield work in tandem, due to our over all ground pressure. Due to our midfield being so light, it exposed out backline this year. That wont happen now
