Big show of faith in these 3 guys. Not sure we really needed to be giving them 3 more years just yet :think:

That's all 5 picks from last years draft signed up to 2025 already. That draft is really going to have a huge bearing on our medium-long term future....
All 3 have shown promise but it’s not like any of them have been dominant at VFL level. The clubs obviously seen enough though

They’re all under 20 mate it’s not like Dustin Martin is playing in the twos
 
They will only get better and push for AFL selection. A good decision to lock them away for an extra 2 years.
Think this will go down as one of our best drafts overall in the past 30yrs.(50 games min)

BH on Talking Tigers

Hopper and Taranto compliment each other so well because Jacob is so attacking around the ball, so contested. Tim can really transition run and offer back support. You often see Tim the first one back and the first one forward with his running. They're both top class young men and we are happy to have them.

Hitting the draft in 2021 with those guys coming in, gave us that flexibility with guys finishing up. We got some flexibility in our cap which we knew that use to get both of those boys in. You have to be flexible because things don't always go to plan.

Thrilled to keep Soldo. Coming off an ACL is hard and got a lot more to learn and the big boys take time.

On Jack Graham

I spoke to you before and know you were going to visit family but I didn't realise they all worked at Port Adelaide.

On list management

We have been fortunate enough to be in a position to go the draft while we have been contending. The salary cap and draft system does dictate that you do overspend and you do top up and you do keep trying to top up and then fall off the cliff. We have been trying to buck that trend.

We have 2 picks in the ND and 2 or 3 picks in the Rookie Draft. Depending on what's there may take 1 or 2 picks over to the MSD.
 
Richo - What about the players that would benefit, Dion Prestia and Trent Cotchin that had to shoulder that midfield for so long. Have you spoken to them, they must be thrilled in what you have been able to do?

BH
They're big decisions so with Jacob and Tim we had some players involved in the meetings which is really powerful. There coming in to want to play with those guys and Dimma.

Including those guys with that group is really important. We did lose control of the midfield in the course of the season, We just got nipped by a couple of goals on a number of occasions and those guys will help out in that area, so the guys are pumped.
 
We should have took van rooyen

Instead of who Browne? I think Browne will be an elite backman. Vlastuin 2.0.

I’ll be honest I was initially so upset with our draft hall in 2021. I wanted Hobbs and some other big bodies mids instead of backmen and smalls. I was also surprised with how our recruiters acted, it was like they struck gold.

Only realised now why they acted like that, it’s cause they knew they’d get somebody like Taranto and Hopper in 2022. Our gaps are pretty much filled now. Only need a KPF and I wouldn’t be surprised if they have somebody lined up already to trade in instead of going to the draft. Fair to say we should trust our recruiters they know what they are doing.

Jack Retires
Free Agent : Himmelberg

Done
 
Kicking at 75.9% goal accuracy. Bloody elite, he’d get 50+ goals with our inside 50 delivery guaranteed.

He’s a good player. Once he gets the RFC haircut he’ll be even better
