I’m not happy we may be losing Soldo , pick 31 and future 1st.
Think that is too much on top of our 12 & 19 for Taranto.
I want to keep the rest of our picks this year. Pick 31 May still bring us a player ( list need ) and develop him in the twos in season 2023.
I’m concerned with Captain Nanks body and really with only Soldo as back up I can real issues in our ruck stocks.
Samson isn’t ready and Miller is just a pinch hit who did quite well towards the end of the year. But I want Miller to continue his development in the back half and take ruck duties there!
With the AFL considering 5 on the interchange a ruck on there is paramount in having a ruck on the bench.
Future first and that’s it!
We have already in good faith to give you 12 & 19 for Taranto. You have salary cap issues , his contracted ( so we take his full salary) so that’s it!
We don’t know if GWS have asked for Soldo or Soldo has requested to go there or WE have offered him up.
Isn’t he contracted?
Also it’s a snowball affect to our VFL side if we lose Soldo to GWS & Nank gets injured.
Do we find a kid with years developing in other leagues or other VFL sides. Look , have a back up thought before you put Soldo on the table.
How will think affect relationships with Balta and Marie if the Tigers PUT UP Soldo as part of getting an injured Hopper over????
Just my thoughts!
