Ivan Soldo

Without knowing the full details of the deal, feels a bit like we got unders but the alternative is we hold on to him for another 12 months and we end up with nothing.
 
it gives us an extra pick this year which is a good thing as I assume one of our picks will go to hawthorn for Kosi.

Even if the pick 41 went for Kosi ( I’m not advocating that btw)we would end up with Kosi plus ports 2024 2nd rounder for Soldo. I reckon that’s not a bad deal.

Ivan is ok but he is never going to be a top liner imo

No, we’d still get a compensation pick, so for Richmond, an end of the 5th round.
 
What’s the other selections ?

Yeah interesting to see the actual full deal here. Which F2 is it? Ports or Freo's? What are the other selections? In our favour or theirs?

Obviously we want the Freo F2, and I'd be happy to give them a couple of picks back if thats the case. 65 and 68 will get them back into the draft :D
 
You never know, the future 2nd rounder could be a pick in the early 20's

Credit where credit is due, the club played this well. We got the same price as Sydney paid for Grundy.

And there was people who doubted playing Soldo in the back half of the year. Soldo increased his price over this time.

Can we be super cheeky and sign Scott Lycett as free agent?

Done.
Future 2nd and pick 41.
Korn reckons we have folded and just been pillaged.
He's nuts ,we got double his value,better than Grundy, better than nank,that's a late first pick in draft points,a huge deal for tigers,this is if port win the flag.

Exactly. Without knowing the other selections/finer detail, the Soldo deal looks good. Melbourne gave up pick 27 for a Grundy and salary last year too. And we get 41 and F2 for a Soldo ?

All up, on the face of it (pending the detail) it looks good, agree with you.

No it's way better points wise than Grundy.

Yeah, I’ve mentioned before grabbing Lycett for a year or 2 would compensate for free. Premiership ruck, 30.
 
Premiership ruck yes , but in reality a pretty decent deal.

Not sure why but to some he was Max Gawn all of a sudden , good at tap work but around the ground not so flash.

Get young Ryan in the gym & to big Ivan thank you for contributing to our recent success & all the best

Very disappointed Soldo's leaving.
Yet to be convinced Ryan can step up but he needs to now. We need presence & mongrel.

Good luck Ryan.
Thanks & best wishes, Ivan.
Port & Hawkins T - GGF....

Certainly unders. Port with Soldo completes its midfield, which makes it now the most competitive in the comp.
We always get them twice!
Not saying we shouldn’t have traded.
Just that we got buggered!
