So we have given up pick 12 and CCJ for Taranto. Seems pretty reasonable to me
What about Jared oakley NichollsNothing and I mean NOTHING will ever equal the disaster of trading pick 8 for Craig Biddiscombe. Still haunts me.
His first season at Richmond was ruined by hamstring injuries and he managed just four senior appearances.[3] In 2000 however he played 19 of a possible 22 games, as a half-back, and won Richmond's "Best Clubman" award.[3] He appeared in the first 10 rounds of the 2001 season but then injured his knee and didn't feature again for the rest of the year.[3] The rest of his time with Richmond was spent mostly in the reserves and he was delisted at the end of 2003.
Richmond gave Geelong pick eight in the 1998 National Draft, which was on-traded to the Sydney Swans, who used it to select Jude Bolton.[4]
Only cost us Jude Bolton
Could also mean that Gee Whizz know that we will bend over n give them what they want, when they want. Not expecting any freebies in the Grasshopper trade, just gotta pray that both these blokes provide us with full value over the rest of their careers. Long term contracts on very good shekels n no discount for buying in bulk.seemingly not playing hard with the Taranto deal should hold us in good stead for the Hopper deal..
you'd imagine the relationship with GWS is on firm ground now
What's the differenceTim Kelly was probably regarded as one of the best mids in the comp when he was traded.
Neale was Freos best player behind Goldilocks.
Treloar was viewed as the best young kid at the time.
As I said im happy we got him because he fills a need but just think we paid overs considering they were also desperate for a salary dump.
Hopefully it works out for the best
They mean nothing unless your bringing in a FS or Academy kids.With the talk onpoints and the idea that 12+19 = 4.
If we had pick 4 would we trade that for 12 and 19?
Never in a month of Sunday twilight games.
They don't compare
If this trade was picks #13 + #25 everybody would be saying be fleeced GWSWhat's the difference
Tarranto and we lose 2 picks
Or Higgins or Collier Dawkins,?
I say we paid unders shouldve given them another pick,
judging by Jason McCartneys words this could well be the case ..Could also mean that Gee Whizz know that we will bend over n give them what they want, when they want.

Someone remind McCartney that Hopper is a FA next year….judging by Jason McCartneys words this could well be the case ..
“Hopper being under contract is an advantage for us (GWS)
pursuing draft picks and players is a combination that needs to be explored”
