Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper

WTF are GWS doing??? They're asking about O'Meara now? Pulling us as they go....dog on a leash.
The same thing they do every year, they are notoriously difficult to work with & rarely lose out on these blockbuster deals.
They have 4-5 years of value still to come and their assets are diminishing
Most disappointing thing is i can see Cadman asking for a trade to Geelong in 3-4 years time
Making the RFC sweat that they wont get their man, so we get desperate and overpay.
Sure but if we weren't so wrapped up in this wild goose chase we could have left Hopper to the Cats, taken on Bowes & moved up to pick 2. If North takes Cadman then that is the risk you take but Sheezel is fine as a fall-back option.
Makes you wonder at times. I suppose the desperation from us is to have 2 ready-made mids and that became the priority......who knows what/how they're thinking.
No Offence to soldo
But a 5 man bench we can use miller and Ryan
Still think we need change from F1 31 and soldo

If only we had known that the AFL were going to change the rules AGAIN.
We had already committed to Hopper and his manager when the AFL allowed the Bowes salary cap dump to be done.
It would not have been prudent to pull out of our commitment to Hopper and his manager.
I get it, loads of time has gone into facilitating these trades but I think in committing early we've missed a huge window to improve our draft hand.

Is it not done yet? What a surprise! Hope they do it tomorrow, otherwise it will drag through to the end of the trade period.
Seriously, guys. Imagine if Richmond got both their deals done on day 1 and then said, we got our guys, we’re done for this year.
Trade radio may as well have pulled the pin then and there. They would have been talking about Melbourne, GWS, Gold Coast, Geelong and Freo. That is just not acceptable.

Lets agree to disagree on this one
Bowes had the choice where he goes and clearly the cats have done the work as Bowes had 5 other options and he made that selection and was not upto the clubs. He probably see's his chances of playing beyond 2024 higher at the cats than the other teams
But if you don’t do the early work you can miss out on players. The early work done with Lynch got that deal over the line.
I reckon if the Cats take Hopper there would have been a squeeze, it wouldn't have been too difficult to beef up the Bowes contract I would imagine, the other clubs sniffing were all outside of the 8, I reckon we could have been in poke position.
