I dont think we would get an early 2nd rounder for Soldo
Whilst we all love him and enjoy having him on the list i doubt he is rated very highly in the league
pick #35-#50 would be about his trade range

Disagree with your ranking.
No player in that range is a walk up first 22 starter. Especially a big brute at 206cm.
Nankervis being selected Captain sealed his fate.
In either 2019 or 2020 it even appeared that he was actually our preferred first ruck before he got injured.
He would also probably walk into 10 other teams as first ruck.
He’s worth #25-30 IMHO. Because they’re hard to find
I like Soldo, but late in the season, even when he was fit, and we had concerns over Nankervis’ fitness we still elected to play Nankervis wth the inexperienced Miller as his back up, and leave Soldo in the VFL.
Clearly available and gettable
there are many teams that need a ruckman Saints , Blues , Hawks , Cats , Port just to name a few
But nobody even is asking.
St Kilda aren’t playing soldo over Marshall.
Blues aren’t playing Soldo over De Koning or even Pittonet.
I don’t mind Soldo, and he’s come a ridiculously long way from when he first landed with us but if we can use him for something of value for us and he’s happy to go we should consider it.
He’s only 18 months younger than Nank. Yeah we need a ruck back up but many times have gotten by with strugglers.
Thats exactly my point though
He is not #1 Ruckman at any club , Not even Hawthorn and nobody will give up a decent pick for a backup break glass Ruckman
If he was not on our list would we trade #31 for Soldo this year ?
I would say not

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Most rucks of his type go in that 25-35 range. He's a premiership ruckman coming into his prime too.
I remembered reading this post from @Dont Argue a couple of weeks ago and though I've never met Ivan, everytime I've heard him speak, he's come across as such a humble and respectful fella. Can ill afford to lose really good people imo!

Great stuff.
Welcome to The Hollywood Brothers, Quentin and Dennis.
And more importantly great to keep Ivan's cousin Ivan.
Quality of the man (if reports are true) he offered himself up to break deadlock and get the deal done.
What a Richmond Man.
Lovely work, Mustacca.
Hoping he finally gets himself right post that ridiculous injury caused by Porkins.
Go you Tiges.

Ralph talked about the Soldo deal being separate to the Hopper deal. Could we still be looking at shipping him but working in his worth?
I was queuing alongside the big guy at the Coles checkouts last night - he looked very relaxed, like the decision was made.
glad it was the right one!
