Agree especially as he is out of contract?

 I suspect something is coming back our way, hopefully a 2nd next year.

Being out of contract doesn’t mean much these days. I suspect if we couldn’t get GWS to agree to a deal Taranto would re-sign with GWS or he’d go to the pre-season draft where he’d be at risk of being picked up by someone else.

12 + 19 is the exact worth of Taranto in my opinion. The chance of getting someone better and ready to contribute to the same degree as Taranto can both now and into the future is very low.

Tim Taranto trade is going through as we speak.

Sam Edmund confirmed as such just then on Trade Radio.

Pick 12 and Pick 19 expected to be involved, possible 3rd round pick coming back the other way.

Hopper deal will be done later this week.

What a time to be alive!

3rd Round no way has to be second.
The Giants' 2nd rounder is pick 21 which is too close to our pick 19. Great for us if that was so but can't see GWS accepting a trade which is effectively Taranto for just pick 12.

Their 3rd rounder is pick 40.

Even if future picks were considered, GWS are likely to finish bottom 4 again next year. So, that doesn't change the equation either.

Fair deal, would have liked a pick back but so happy. He is just what we need.

AFL & RFC websites both saying Taranto for picks 12 & 19 only

Nothing coming back the other way

good deal

It's a fantastic deal for the club- a proven star is TT. The destination club continues to attract the competitions best :shh

If you separate the deals then it’s a good deal.

One first and one second is a good deal.

The next one we are going to get bent over.

Hopefully F1 and #30 is enough for hopper off an injury hampered season.

Good enough deal for TT.

Thanks CCJ/Norf!

Got a feeling with this deal Hopper won't be what's been speculated.
