Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper

[AstuteTiger]

I reckon we came out slightly in front due to Soldo not going and picks 53 and 63 coming back. They will come back to about pick 50 on draft night.

 

[TigerForce]

Now to figure out how far 53 and 63 are likely to come in. Assuming that we don't do anything to trade up in the draft.

Suggests that at least Martyn and probably RCD (or Stack) will be delisted (potentially re-rookied) as we will need to clear them to have enough spots to take these 2 extra draftees.

I reckon just Martyn and RCD will be gone.

Welcome Jacob and well done Blair.
Loosing F1 a disappointment but
keeping Ivan + picks a bonus.

 

[Dont Argue]

I was actually really flat about this trade once Soldo was included in the speculation.
Now I’m freaking flying!!!
Welcome Hoppmeister

 

[Harry]

Yeah Yeah.

Keeping Soldo was massive.

Now let's find some gems with late picks / rookie picks.

Bring on 2023

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Not a bad result after all that, expect picks 53 and 63 to drop a fair bit with f/s bids and passes

 

[tigerman]

Great news, Hopper & Taranto are on board and Soldo stays.
Looking forward to watching big Ivy jamming hit outs down Toey and Hoppy's throats.

 

[seven]

That's more like it.
Well done RFC

 

[tigertim]

Good score.

Will we even use 63? Doubt it.

 

[DavidSSS]

Does anyone like giving away a future first? Of course not.

But that was the price and it was a choice - give away F1 and get Hopper, don't give away F1 and don't get Hopper.

Worth the price.

Very good outcome. If we improve next as we should, after adjustments it will probably be something like pick 16 in 2023 and 34 for Hopper and 45 plus 55. Looks okay to me for a guy that was in the All Australian squad of 40 last year. Who knows what will happen by next year, we might even trade our way into the first round. If you look at the trades getting done in this period, who would of picked most of them 12 months ago. That shows how much it can change in a year for both trades and draft picks.

Welcome Hoppy, you look awesome in a Richmond jumper, even if you do look a bit like Tivendale................

 

[Quickdraw]

Going to celebrate with a quality red tonight.

Well done Tigers!

 

[Leysy Days]

Maybe he did and in return we got the late picks thrown in!

Seriously though GWS are clearly wrapt to get pick 1 and our early deal on Taranto facilitated that, hence GWS were happy to give something back our way to say thanks

I wonder if this was the deal even with Soldo thrown in or we were getting a F3 also?

Better posting.

Sounds like your knickers are untwisted now?

 

[The_General]

Well that was a week and a half of anxiety for nothing wasn't it folks.

Gee whiz, lucky Blair was able to keep any of his ass, after the screwing he was taking from GWS.
We are so crap at trade week. We always overvalue others and undervalue our own.

Blah blah blah blah.

In Blair we trust,

Hey General, can you please merge this thread as Hop is no longer a rumour? Ta.

 

[zgod]

Love that we held firm and didn't buckle.
Great trading.

 

[zgod]

Pick 18 and 31 is great trading

Miles in front. The chance of getting a player as good as Hopper with next years first rounder is about 10%. Very lopsided deal in our favour!

Brilliant stuff tigers. Great get with Tim. Awesome, awesome awesome
