He also finished runners up last year, by these metrics we shouldn't be spending big on Taranto.

He is the most likely to depart to get the 2 boys from GWS in
Nor really happy.

Fair point RE Taranto, but GWS are absolutely flush for midfielders which can justify why Taranto has been moved around and limited his impact.
Taranto is/was pushed out by Kelly, Coniglio, Hopper, Whitfield, Green, Ward
Graham struggled and was moved around in a season where our midfield cupboard was almost bare. Our midfield of Cotchin, Prestia and Bolton should not have seen him held out if he was good enough given Dion missed plenty of weeks this year as well.
Not bad, I'd look at ways to get pick 26 into the Keeler range, 1 tall would be ok I guess, partcularly if we manage to keep next year's first.
Has Taranto ever made an impact as forward? I'm struggling to see the value add in this case........................
That would be around the mark, I have him 12-26 but I rate him a bit higher than most. Surprised by the comments about key position talent, I think Cadman & Jefferson are excellent prospects, Keeler requires a bit more imagination but the skill set is there, I reckon some judges put off by his laconic kicking action, more specifically the way he leans back when disposing of the ball. My feelings when I see this is firstly, kids need time to adjust to their growing frames & secondly, a lot of talls take years to refine their techniques (see Max King). I also think Keeler being bottom aged opens the door for some extra growth & potentially a full time ruck gig if the forward experiment fails.
not sure why people are saying graham is not in our best 22, and was moved around to different positions or left out of the side.
from what i remember 99% of the time he played it was in the midfield. very rarely was he left out WHEN FIT, and rerely because he couldnt get a mid position and was just overlooked. he played 20 games so i dont see where he was left out as other mids were ahead of him??
Hes 1st or 2nd for our defensive midfielders, great two way runner, and lays heaps of tackles. all mids cant be attacking only.
i think hes definately in our best 22 and at his age can only get better!
dont want to lose him but if we do, we should be asking for 2 first rounders, if thats what GWS want for hopper.....

Pre-season at a guess.
Not sure Graham's ever been left out when fit, keepa

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
His perceived value is probably higher than his actual value but not sure we want to lose him. We already have a lack of midfield depth so two in and one out only helps marginally, especially with Prestia and Cotchin soon to depart.
That’s not a good sign but if he goes it’s a first rounder, I mean he’s 24, 97 games, a premiership player and has 6 or so seasons left. We need to negotiate hard and get a good deal as he’s contracted for 2023 and if he goes at the end of next season we,ll get a comp a second round comp pick anyway.
