What makes you think he'd be playing in the Magoos?
Deja vuSeems like many trades will be done this year by many clubs
This board has absolutely crucified SOS for having generally no idea and making terrible trades, but as soon as he says something that fits a narrative we like, we lap it up like it's gospel.
Never change you lot.
I wouldnt trade DowWhich fringe players would you trade, so that we can keep a pick? Don't say Aarts.
Yes - Soldo (19), Castagna (30), Dow (30), Mansell (30)
No - Ross (19), Graham (19), Ralphsmith (30)
I'd trade Soldo, but I'd rather keep Ross or Graham than pick 19.
I'd trade Castagna, Dow or Mansell, but I'd rather keep Ralphsmith than pick 30.
Show a bit of respect for the man who recruited Lachie Plowman.I was excited until I realised it was SOS who said it.
Hopper being contracted is not a plus for the club that has to get that contract off its books.Taranto is slightly better and younger but Hopper is contracted so their trade cost is about the same IMO. Mid 1st and a bit each.
The man recruited Jono O'Rourke. With pick 2. And sold him two years later for pick 19 when it was obvious he was dogshit. He's a genius.This board has absolutely crucified SOS for having generally no idea and making terrible trades, but as soon as he says something that fits a narrative we like, we lap it up like it's gospel.

Ah, Lara. The Dandenong of Geelong. No one from Geelong would say Lara is Geelong.I grew up in Geelong (Lara).
****n hell hahahaShow a bit of respect for the man who recruited Lachie Plowman.
Twice.
In total he recruited nine players twice. That's backing yourself.

"I'm from Melbourne."
"Oh, whereabouts?"
"Seymour."
"Hmm."

Met a good mate of mine who now lives in Brisy and his rellies,all Tigers from Corio.Just some advice on Big Footy. Trash talk and fantasy concepts are what you get. Don't bite, all it means is that you'll get more trash talk.
I grew up in Geelong (Lara) and I know it's just a small city. But it's fun for people to trash talk the opposition. And Geelong is so easy to trash talk. Moe by the sea etc. And if you don't take it personally it's funny.
Pretty much where I sit.Which fringe players would you trade, so that we can keep a pick? Don't say Aarts.
Yes - Soldo (19), Castagna (30), Dow (30), Mansell (30)
No - Ross (19), Graham (19), Ralphsmith (30)
I'd trade Soldo, but I'd rather keep Ross or Graham than pick 19.
I'd trade Castagna, Dow or Mansell, but I'd rather keep Ralphsmith than pick 30.
Do Castagna, Dow and Mansell have any value ? Only player with value on your list aside Soldo is Graham and I would be open to trade him if we get hopper and Taranto. Can’t get anything good if you’re not willing to give up something goodWhich fringe players would you trade, so that we can keep a pick? Don't say Aarts.

Surely Soldo worth a pick in the 20s! CCJ went to North for pick 19 last year and then couldn't get a game there.Just a few things
RE:SOS
I wonder if he would have the same valuation if he was list manager of GWS ?
He just likes to please the listeners and become popular and there are alot of Richmond supporters , Taranto is easily worth #12 + #19 and GWS have every right to demand that and if we can get him for less then thats a bargain Hopper for F1+#30 is also about the value and again anything less is a win
Taranto +Hopper for all our picks would be a win win and if we get junk back even better.
I would love to keep Soldo but thinking he will have suitors and he will be thinking its time to move to get games and maybe more cash and i dont blame him to be honest sometimes you just need to move to further your career similar to Markov in a way. Richmond would not hold him back and will facilitate the trade 2nd rounder would be a pick in the 30's this year and for a contracted player thats about right
Gws may not be interested in SOLDO as he is too similar to what they have St Kilda , Hawks , Geelong , Carlton or maybe the Power
He’s one of us nowThis board has absolutely crucified SOS for having generally no idea and making terrible trades, but as soon as he says something that fits a narrative we like, we lap it up like it's gospel.

See, you're making too much sense to be from Geelong. I bet you've never even rooted a sheep, been made redundant from the hubcap assembly line or shanked anyone for a point of meth.Close enough. But yes Lara is now pretty much a suburb of Geelong. And who gives an F about Geelong beyond it's home to the team I most want to not win the premiership.
Second, I love the feeling of cognitive dissonance in supporting SOS. He did a great job on Carlton's list, and I deeply mean that - he did a great job .
Third, GWS is between a rock and a hard place. They have to lose Hopper and Taranto, this year. If both say Richmond, then GWS doesn't have much wiggle room or ability to play hard ball. Hard ball = hurting themselves . So we'll see what happens. But I suspect the Tigers will offer a decent trade, and that's all. GWS can agree or negotiate, and hope that they don't screw up the trade. Not a strong position for the Giants.
So here's hoping that the trade happens for less than what i think is likely fair. I'm really hoping that my trade ability is below even SOS's.
No current season stats available
CCj went for 19 because of potential and thats about it and north over paidSurely Soldo worth a pick in the 20s! CCJ went to North for pick 19 last year and then couldn't get a game there.

Soldo will be 27 with a knee injury and for a 204cm big man that carry's 105kgs in the Ruck thats not a great sign
I wouldnt want to be giving up more than a pick #40 for Soldo if he was coming to my team
Considering they offered Taranto a new contract while Hopper is still under contract suggests they have the money to keep one of them comfortably. They'd make it work if they had to, just as they would have when they matched geelongs bid for Jezza and forced them to trade.Hopper being contracted is not a plus for the club that has to get that contract off its books.
Are you saying Soldo is worth pick 19? Not a chance. Soldo, Ross, Graham and Ralphsmith if traded could allow us to hold on to pick 30 at best. None of them would amount to pick 19. The rest not even pick 30.Which fringe players would you trade, so that we can keep a pick? Don't say Aarts.
Yes - Soldo (19), Castagna (30), Dow (30), Mansell (30)
No - Ross (19), Graham (19), Ralphsmith (30)
I'd trade Soldo, but I'd rather keep Ross or Graham than pick 19.

Karen Cornes is a moleKaren Cornes on SEN reckons we will be giving up 4 first rounders for taranto and hopper
