I agree. Future 1st is all I would give. Go to this year's draft with a 2nd rounder. If GWS dig in, grab Hopper on the same terms next year as a FA and we keep 2nd round this year and 1st round next year
Agree - let’s just sit back and see what happens - we played it well with CCJ and I think GWS will eventually come to the party. I don’t think we are out to screw GWS, play fair and if GWS don’t like that then we walk away.
Our midfield is already better with Taranto in and Graham staying and our youngsters in RCD, Dow and Sonsie will be a year older and bigger.
As much as Hopper would be great, we can now afford to sit back and wait - let GWS come to us.
Since we are ankle deep now we just have to get it done with Hopper or someone else as good. Dunkley would be nice.
Who does McCarthy think he is Clint Eastwood?
'There's more involved with the Hopper deal as he is contracted"

If Hopper jumps as a FA next year, what would GWS compo be? End of first round? That would be the max.
If we are offering them a future first now they should take it as it will be ahead of their compo pick and they will be seen to be showing goodwill to their player rather than forcing to stay where he doesn't want to be

If McCartney is that insistent about Hopper being more valuable because he's contracted, then we can say the same about Soldo being contracted as well.
Yeah he’s just playing ducks and drakes. It’s smart by him TBH, keep pushing to make sure you get the best deal possible. We’d do the same and have done. CCJ trade comes to mind.
Exactly. Lots of time left in trade period. Hopper is contracted so this deal would always drag out. Expect it to get done later on.
They always try for more though. And they don’t always get done. Last year Bobby Hill and Lobb didn’t get done. If GWS have decided that they don’t want to lose him after all, they will be dicks until we either cave and give what they want or just give up.
I’m not to fussed about the amount we pay to land these 2 crucial players , who knows what type of players we would have got in the draft , it’s something we’ll never know , plus our boys might get injured or they might help win 3 flags , only time will tell, what I do like is that we loaded up with high picks last year and have added 2 guns to our talented young brigade this year.
The doofus just worked out pick 19 isn't a 1st rounder and by the time the Academy's selections are done, it could turn into pick 22.

The seller dictates the terms of the deal, McCartney is actually being very smart and is maximising the return for GWS.
