Geez its a hard, yes he has had a great year and yes he looks like a good small foward.
But stats don't lie 72% of his goals came against bottom 10 sides. Didn't go near it against Collingwood look like a Sanfl footballer that day.

And suddenly Melbourne are full to the brim on their salary cap. Happy days.
He has done better then I expected he ripped us a new oneNow let's not be bitter Zips
I've wouldve kicked 6 playing on McCartin today
When Smith & Duncan kick goals you know your fked
Yep, it’s definitely offseason
Does trade week/fortnight/month start tomorrow?
Does trade week/fortnight/month start tomorrow?
Well that 2 month advertising blitz masquerading as Trade Radio that Hutchinson runs kicks off tomorrow... so I suppose it's a yes
We are gonna win it this year, I can feel it. Dodo doesn’t stand a chance!
I Think we need to stop this 'nice club' crap we have introduced, Helping out Geelong, patting the Essendon player on the back.Just like Carlton gave us an honest opinion on Yarran
we need to cut it out and start slapping then.
Everyone calm down we have told Essendon, Graham is not on the trade table.
This makes me think someone else is been used to get us both Tarranto and Hopper.

I'd at least like to keep pick 30, but if GWS only want picks then I guess pick 30 may have to be thrown in also but we would have to get something coming back. Preferably, id hope picks 12, 19 and a future first would get the deal done and if need be a player thrown in, i.e Soldo or Collier Dawkins.

At Richmond, list manager Blair Hartley is preparing to pull an old trick out of his kitbag as the Tigers look to hand over their top picks from this and next year’s draft to electro charge the engine room.
In 2016, Richmond off-loaded pick six for ex-Gold Coast onballer Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy in a move which helped them win three flags.
And next month, Richmond will hand over selections 12, 19 and 30, plus next year’s first-rounder for hard nut Jacob Hopper and fire-starter midfield-forward Tim Taranto.
The Tigers beat the Cats and Magpies for the pair’s signatures with blockbuster seven-year deals which did raise some eyebrows at clubs around the league.
But there again is the boldness at play.

LIKELY INS: Jacob Hopper, Tim Taranto
LIKELY OUTS: No one yet. Maybe Jack Graham, Ivan Soldo and Riley Collier-Dawkins.
Hopper is still under contract, which does explain in part the Giants high price, while Taranto is out of contract.
The Tigers have 12, 19 and 30 in this year’s draft but are likely to have to give up more to get the two Giants to Melbourne.
A player might have to head to Sydney, while Richmond’s 2023 first-round pick might have to be on the table.
It is likely going to be a substantial package the Tigers have to stump up to get the two Giants, but they would be thinking it will be worth it.
Verdict: 12, 19 and Richmond’s 2023 first-round pick and a player.

RICHMOND
It’s the definition of going all in. Richmond will surely have to trade all of picks 12, 19, 30 and a future first-rounder and expend $1.5 million a year of cap space on Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper. But if they can land that pair their midfield fortunes are set until 2030. Riley Collier-Dawkins is yet to be offered a new deal and rivals could circle late. GWS hasn’t discussed players in the trade but Ivan Soldo has been floated. The Giants have enough half-backs so aren’t interested in Hugo Ralphsmith, who surely the Tigers must keep anyway. Jack Graham has rival interest but the Tigers would be mad to let him go under any circumstances.LIKELY INS: Jacob Hopper, Tim Taranto
LIKELY OUTS: No one yet. Maybe Jack Graham, Ivan Soldo and Riley Collier-Dawkins.

Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper (GWS) to Richmond
The Giants want to get two first rounders, and that is just for Hopper let alone a player in Taranto who won GWS’ Kevin Sheedy Medal in 2019.Hopper is still under contract, which does explain in part the Giants high price, while Taranto is out of contract.
The Tigers have 12, 19 and 30 in this year’s draft but are likely to have to give up more to get the two Giants to Melbourne.
A player might have to head to Sydney, while Richmond’s 2023 first-round pick might have to be on the table.
It is likely going to be a substantial package the Tigers have to stump up to get the two Giants, but they would be thinking it will be worth it.
Verdict: 12, 19 and Richmond’s 2023 first-round pick and a player.
Picks 12 19 30 and next years first rounder is too much for Taropper
Much prefer 12 30 next years first rounder player (Soldo) and keep pick 19
Verdict: 12, 30 and Richmond’s 2023 first-round pick and a player. Is my guess
