Pick 19 has already gone and going by your comments previously then this was a salary dump so they have to proceed don’t they ?

Welcome to Tigerland - Tim Taranto

A future 1st isn’t likely to help us in the next 3-5 years if that future 1st is a key forward/ruckman like we need though.
If too topping up our biggest need at the moment (which IMO is midfield) can help us stay in the hunt and make us a desirable destination for any young key forward coming out of contract then that helps with the risk.
As far as trading out of this years draft, it can obviously go both ways but it’s well reported this draft isn’t as highly rated as some, and with our 5 in 30 last year maybe we felt the risk was worth it.
You don’t have to be down to your last $1 before you exchange your better assets for a buck or chose not.
It will be touch and go!
Agree with this but our future 1st, which was always my concern, isn’t about this years draft.
Do you not think Ryan can produce Soldo 2022 numbers in 2023?
7 touches and 14 hitouts. That's the Soldo back up numbers.
That article - done in conjunction with people from club land - explains very well our strategic thinking in respect of trading this year’s and next year’s first round picks.
We certainly haven't helped with pumping up the value of pick 12. What a mess of it we have made.
Do we factor in some improvement given he's returning from injury? If you believe he's damaged goods then fair enough but that would have to apply to Hopper as well, he's dropped from 26 disposals to 19, 400 metres gained to 194, 13 kicks to 8 kicks.
Value of Taranto trade to GWS ~pick 4.
A younger Rankine traded to Crows for essentially pick 5.
Taranto’s aerobic capacity particularly suits our game style, along with his other traits.
Which player would PRE punters rather have, all other things being equal?
Soldo's '19 is his outlier #'s wise. He played 14 games that yr, Nank played 12 so he was played as #1 ruck for essentially half the season. '20 was shortened games & he missed all of '21 & this yr was always going to be a write off coming back from a knee, he will be better next yr than he was this yr. Of course the same applies next yr with Hopper who gets a full pre season as does Taranto.
Was probably carrying a niggle and a lack of interest !!
I am expecting an improvement in on field performance from Ivvy in 2023 after another pre season into that knee.
