If a player is contracted & he has come out & stated the club of his choice, yes they will want decent return, but for it to be so open etc they already know they need to release him

What gets these 2 over?

I can't see us having a pick in this year's draft and I think unless we trade out we will have our 2nd pick next year at pick 36.
We usually get deals done early on in the trade week, we're pretty fair, we targetted these two, and know what they'll cost us.
I'd like to somehow keep the Norf second rounder, but think that we got it in for exactly this scenario.

We are not like that. We are one of the best clubs to deal with.
We want the players, they nominated us, we're going to have to pay a hefty price. You don't go after quality players in their mid 20s and expect to pay peanits. Richmond are well run these days, not stupid, likely to cost 12, 19 and 30 as well as 2023 first pick and maybe a player. That's life, a fair number of fringe players I would not like to lose but it might just be the price we need to pay.
You do the deal, you pay the price, that's ok, we knew this before we went after them.

I'd sooner trade Nank than Soldo.
Though I think we need both. I have a horrible feeling Nank's cooked.

Can't be difficult otherwise they'll have cap problems.
Deal has been done already.
There is no way we get Taranto and Hopper and still hold onto our first picks in the 2022 and 2023 drafts.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
If it is Soldo they want, what's the going rate for a team's second ruck? Pick 30ish?
Soldo's a premiership ruckman who's held down the number 1 spot for significant periods when Nank was injured. And a good clubman who upholds training standards and is not demanding a high wage like Grundy etc, so you could argue he's worth the equivalent of a pick in the 20s when working out what picks we have to give up to land Space Hopper and Taz.
12, 30, Soldo, F1, with some later picks back to us is more than fair. We keep 19.

Yeah I know but can't see it happening. Even if we do that Brisbane deal the Giants will want both picks. They will want 2 first rounders for each player. They won't get that for both but they probably will for one of them; with something later coming back to us. If we get both players I can't really see us having a first round pick in the next two drafts.
Their cap is bust. In the same situation Collingwood traded Treloar for a future second-rounder. And we won't even ask them to pony up $300k a year for the privilege.
Do GWS really want a player in a trade? It’s a salary dump for them. I think they’d be pretty content with picks and it sounds like they’re getting an absolute haul. Gives them huge flexibility to manage their cap and trade up in the draft
As @spook noted, getting Pick 13 from Brisbane could unlock all doors here. This is in exchange for Pick 19 & 30
On a points value - Pick 13 is worth 1212. Whilst picks 19 & 30 are worth 1577.
Assuming a bid a pick 1 comes for Ashcroft, they will need all the points they can get.

The difference here is Collingwood were shipping out Treloar and he was reluctant to go whereas we've chased Hopper and Taranto and they want to come.
