Not by me.


Both Marlion & KMac have a bit of C in them too. It's not just the hard running. They are very tough, physical lads.

Pickett scares me and I'm watching on TV, not running near him on the G.
Pickett is one of the best pick ups ive ever seen. I think the club does things really well and its free willing at the Rookie and preseason draft's is A1.
Lambert Soldo Castagna Bulter Grimes Stack and Pickett that's top 10 picks in the ND.

Baker - 2017 rookie draft. We took Chol and Stengle in the rookie drafts too. Unreal.

Why worry about ND unless it's top 5
We can't get anything in the ND but we are the kings when it comes to taking kids desperate to play in Rookie or Preseason draft's.
We could field a quality side with all our Rookie/ pre selections/ late ND picks in the last 10 yrs.
It's unbelievable

He will be a free agent and they will lose him. We will offer him 6 years at $700-$750 and they will get a 1st rounder which will probably be a pick around 5-8. That’s what they will be expecting. There is zero chance he goes to the psd.
The giants know they will lose Hopper next year anyway

did hopper ask to be traded, or was he pushed due to salary issues? this would be a fair indicator of whether they have cap issues or not. if we know which way this went then we can probably stop guessing as to whether its a salary dump.
coaxed to be traded = salary dump. all hoppers doing, might not quite be a salary dump, he just wants to leave.

also if he leaves next year, the best GWS should get is an end of first rd compo pick. no way hopper is worth a compo pick after GWS first draft pick. that SHOULD only be granted to the top echelon players of the compo, or say best 3 players in each team. hopper would prob be around 5th best at GWS so dont see how they could get a compo pick after their first pick wherever that is....
 
For you Redders.

Perhaps a moderator can put it back on the main board.

Hey @tigerman any chance you could move this thread to the rumour board so I can flick from the Taranto to the Hopper to the trade whisper thread and back again seamlessly and without having to activate any real time brain function?

Moderators might have to do it fb, I'm a bit challenged, I can't work out how to do it.

Yeah. Taranto is now main board. General trade discussion is too. Hopper being there as well would make sense instead of jumping around.

There is no salary dump. GWS weren't forcing him out. We chased him and he wants to come to us. Different to the Bowes, Grundy, Treloar situations.

so hopper is not a salary dump but bruhn is, thus geelong dont have to cough up much for him....??
you cant have it both ways. either its a dump so you dont give up much, or if they are on low coin which hopper seems to be and bruhn should be then you cough up.
both rich AND geel. not just richmond.

lets see what geel give up for bruhn, prob only a second rounder.....yet they want the world from us!!
Click to expand...
WOW told you, i was close. yep end of first rd pick, pick 18 for Bruhn. 1 pick before the second round.
yet they want our F1 AND 31, AND a player...........
wth is going on here?
F1 and EITHER, a player OR 31.
they cant have all three, thats not equitable, no way!!!!

How can you say this with such confidence? They have said several times they want to keep Hopper. As a long time member I have no idea how Richmond are running things and yet you are proclaiming to be an expert on another club. I am in awe of you !

Whaat. What total nonsense.
It is a salary dump because they have decided to get rid of a player who is obviously in their best 22, because they now believe that his level of salary is too high and they can use the money in a more efficient way.
They are dumping him and his salary to recover control over his salary. If they wanted to keep him he wouldn’t have been put on the market.

It is pretty straight forward really and not worthy of your rather ill considered insult.
