I actually don’t cAre what we pay in picks. Most likely those kids won’t get games for years anyway given we already have some good kids and a very good list. Just get these two guns in so we can have a crack at more flags while we still have Lynch, Grimes, Vlaustin, Prestia and Dusty ect. You can’t put a price on that and 24/25 year olds ready to go are worth more to us than a first or second rounder who is 5 years away from an impact.

This years draft actually is pretty good. Anyone that watched the Vic metro Vs Vic country final would say there’s at least 10 players alone out of that game that will be very very good afl players and 4-5 possible future stars.

12+19 is very much overs for Taranto who is out of contract anyway! Not a great deal by Richmond and could potentially struggle to get the hopper deal done because of this overpay.

I must admit im surprised it wasn’t just bundled as I would say the weight of picks made it more likely to get done. Not 100% confident we get Hopper done. I am confident in Balir Hartley though and if it doesn’t get done it’s due to the fact GWS ask is a bit high.

Out of contract in many ways works against us. If we can’t get a deal done for Taranto I suspect he would re-sign with GWS. If not, he’d be up for grabs in the pre-season draft where we’d have to hope that teams don’t select him before we do.

The benefits of Taranto being out of contract are overstated on these forums in my opinion.

Also, Taranto was a pick 2 six years ago. We seem to forget that fact when we state pick so-and-so is overs. Taranto as a pick 2 stacks up as one of the better performing pick 2’s in recent years. The chances that anyone at 12 or 19 that we’d select would out perform Taranto is low.

If 12+19 is overs, what’s the deal that isn’t AND realistically gets a deal done?

In terms of Hopper, I don’t think you separate the picks unless you’re actually confident of the Hopper deal getting over the line. I suspect that as its more complicated it’ll fold into another deal involving GWS (Bedford, Bruhn, Hill with all teams involved having other deals that will be required to be facilitated first).

And by all reports he actually wanted to stay at GWS but the money wasnt there
