Geez, harsh on Nank Kev. Pretty Average? He's led the ruck division (and been huge in big games) for 3 flags.
8th in the B & F this year says he's internally regarded as a lot better than "pretty average".
8th in the BnF would have him bang in the middle of players who have played frequently. Which I would consider average.
hes played first ruck for us alot. not sure what u mean by very very large.............
you would rather pluck someone from the state league and let him play AFL first ruck??
understand your thinking but thats a much much larger leap of faith i would have thought?? esp if he has to play heaps of games due to injury or others form...
dont think its a good idea to trade a player in a position where you only have 1 developed ruck, and then a skinny develping kid. and then nothing else.
plenty of other players in positions we have cover for. RCD, aarts, george, mansell, hugo, biggie, martyn, banks, stack, etc. why do we have to get bent over giving up a player we need in a position we are short of. after already giving them 12 and 19 for taranto.
i bet geelong dont get bent over for bruhn. prob a second rounder and thats it. yet we have to give up multiple picks and players we need.....???
So they want overs for both players?
Tell 'em to *smile* off and in 12 months we get him for nothing.
They got overs for Quentin.
They need to go unders for Dennis.
Why are we so soft on these deals?
That's why clubs are happy to deal with us.
Because they know they can bend us over.
Hardball time.

And on one leg after doing his PCL. The Nank is immense for us, he hobbled from contest to contest towards the end of the season, what a warrior.
we going to get reamed...lets just suck it up and move on i guess. When Hopper and Taranto run out and rip blooze a new one we won't give a rat's a***
Well he's a very very large player.
He should have been playing in the twos this year.
If he hadn't been selected in our final, we would have played in week 2.
Played with a PCL injury for a good chunk of the year too
Let's hope so because there is going to be a fair bit of pressure on these boys.
We need these guys to handle negotiations
we’d get 2 firsts from GWS and Hopper for our pick 30
Who the *smile* Put him as list manager?McCartney said pick 30 and F1 for Hopper is a bit short
Wasn't he at Footscary??
For every Hickey there are 5 reserve rucks that dominate at the lower level but offer little to a top afl side
Was Cooney actually thinking of Collier-Dawkins when he came up with this? We’ve just given Ross a new contract (and trading someone in those circumstances is always a bad look) and the points difference between 31 and 24 is the equivalent of pick 57-58. RCD, however, is out of contract and this is probably about his value (or a delisting if no takers).what was Adan Cooney smoking when he thought this one up? We get absolutely reamed on one

F1 plus 31. Plus now they want soldo or another player! Who are we getting here a 25 yo Dusty??? Shirley they can’t be serious.
I’d go the other way and say ok u wanna be ridiculous F1 is off the table. Offer back is now 31 and a player !!!
Go put that where sun don’t shine.

I am well out of my depth on Hoparanto - are they both one-paced? - but it does have a distinct Hawks top-up odour around it.
Been a fair bit of Covid water under the bridge since '19 but finishes of 10th, 7th and 14th, doesn't scream to me 'peak prime movers.' Although readily admit haven't watched a lot of GWS recently.
Depends, I got 2 brothers and one of them is a selfish *smile*. I'd trade him everyday.
From my perspective Hopper is the genuine inside mid and thats his go. I’d be expecting him to be racking up big time midfield minutes. Like a bigger Prestia.
Taranto more flexible, can be a mid and a forward. Suspect he’ll be a 70/30 or 60/40 proposition for us depending on who’s fit and playing.
Just my opinion.
