Soldo not getting more yrs and more $$.
He wasn't moving there and doing a Bowes trade, just Spreading his 380k over 4 yrs.
He wouldve wanted more yrs and more money and they decided he isn't worth it..
And that works for me

I didn’t think to ask about the Ralphsmith request either. I assume that was wishful thinking or some sort of posturing.
Either way, looks like we knew where we stood. Personally I think it is a good deal for both clubs. GWS clearly needed more cap space than their earlier trades delivered, and both parties knew it.

Great work to get Hopper and Taranto.
Great work also to hold Graham, Ivan and Hugo.

So in 2016 we got Prestia, Caddy plus pick 53.
Fast forward to 2022 we get Taranto, Hopper plus pick 53.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but you really have to judge a trade at the time it was made.
Players traded in can get injured, draft picks can be duds, and they too can get injured.
We will all be much wiser about getting in 2 players from GWS in a year or two, but the trade period is now and the trades should be judged on what the situation is now.
Great trade, we have a weakness in midfield and this addresses our need. We have a year or a few left in a fair number of our stars: Cotch, Jack, Martin, Lynch, Grimes, et al and they will need replacing over the next 5 years. So, we address our current need, and we plan to address future needs over the next couple of years. Combine this with the haul of 5 draft picks last year and you can see there was planning involved. This is not a half hearted effort to address our needs, it is a full blown get 2 players in and really go for it. Sure there are risks, but you gotta take risks.
Even if this doesn't work it is still a great trade, you have to judge it on how everything looks now, in the current trade period.

Three come immediately to mind where we were ahead in the last quarter and clearance against hurt.
Carlton
Geelong
Brisbane in the final.
All critical obviously.
Loving his strong tackles, let's hope HTB is clearly understood and paid by the flogs next season.
