Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper

Was speaking to a player manager this morning. He was lauding the Tigers efforts to get Taranto and Hopper. From what is known among the player managers and clubs, the deal is effectively done with just a few small things to be nutted out. Finally he gave Blair a huge wrap, is widely rated as one of the best footy admin guys around. Easy to deal with and never tries to screw anyone unlike Dodoro

Did he mention what the deal was ? Is it in line with whats been floated here? ie. 12, 30 and next yrs 1st.

This is direct from the club
'With the current negative commentary in regards of the recruitment of these 2 boys, we as a club have decided to increase the offer to 9yrs and 800k"

I *smile* hate poor grammar, and as a journo, should he not know better? That's sackable. The English language is his tool, and he cannot use it correctly.
Ethan Clark was the journo who wrote the article. He was quoting GW.

Me personally, I'm not convinced on Livingstone as I think our development has been below par these last 2 years, but the proof is loud and clear with Blair.
I don't agree with this. The way young players have stepped into the AFL team seemlessly is a testament to our development pathway

This is really important. Sometimes we may feel like we don't get the best of a deal but Blair plays the long game where relationships are important

But But But thats equalisation.
If you look on paper how does GWS list stack upto ours on PAPER being the key word here.
Pretty equal if you ask me.
