Oh I thought they meant Ralph not Soldo.

Both is a bit much

[MaccaDacca]

Very happy that the club rejected any Hugo involvement!!

Agree

Future 1st round pick, Soldo and Hugo. We keep pick 31

I'd do that deal, reckon Hopper is worth it.

Also with these 2 coming in Hugo falls down the pecking order

Delay on hopper trade is just due to the pick coming back our way.

I expect the Tigers will get Hopper and pick 44 in return for 31, Future 1st and Soldo

7NEWS can reveal Richmond assistant turned GWS senior coach Adam Kingsley floated a surprise name in talks over Giants midfielder Jacob Hopper’s desired move to Punt Road.

The trade is not yet locked in and, according to Tom Browne, hinges on Ivan Soldo accepting a move to GWS.

The Tigers are believed to be offering a future first-round pick and a second-round pick in the deal.

“If Soldo’s part of that (trade), it’ll be pretty straight forward,” Browne said.

But GWS initially raised a different name in negotiations with Richmond: Hugo Ralphsmith.

“Adam Kingsley is a big fan of this man,” Mitch Cleary reported.

“I understand he did ask as part of the Hopper deal if they could get their hands on Hugo Ralphsmith.

“It was knocked back pretty quickly. That won’t be happening but Adam Kingsley was keen to get that ball rolling.”

Ralphsmith played 13 games this season but did not appear after round 19, finding himself out of the side for the run to the finals.

The Late Trade team discuss Jacob Hopper's move to Richmond with Damian Barrett revealing that Lachie Whitfield and Nick Haynes are potential candidates to leave.

Both Barrett and SOS saying it will get done. Hopper's management wouldn't have put his name forward or allowed Richmond to deal with Hopper if they weren't confident a deal could be done.

"The Geelong footy club...they were engaged heavily in conversations around him and were quite disappointed when he chose Richmond over them."

Ivan Soldo looks primed to join GWS. The overall deal for Taranto and Hopper will be 12, 19, 31, Soldo and a future first. Richmond will receive some picks back.

"It's believed the Giants have possibly requested maybe some other players in that trade. That may eventually be one that goes through later in the week, but they are in a position to take Soldo if that indeed falls that way."

The feral tiger supporters out there won't see it this way but we now pay a huge price for blatantly ignoring the bigger sized mids and players in general year after year. We are still doing it with Key forwards. The Tom Lynches of the world arent always for free in fact its a rarity.

Agree you would do it in a heart beat.

Without doubt there’s a need for kpf but atleast we have also addressed the need for midfielders.
Who knows what could play out in next years trade period but I’m sure kpf will be the priority

GWS now with picks 3, 12, 15, 18, 19, 44, 61, 63.

Are they going to use more than six picks if they get our pick 31?

If we got in return their later picks 44, 61 & 63 (362 + 135 + 112 = 609 pts) which they won't be using (?), then I wonder if we could do a pick swap with Brisbane for their pick 36 (502 pts). The Lions just need more points. This would give them an extra 107 pts for nothing.


Richmond: Future 1st, Pick 31, Soldo ---> Hopper, Pick 36.

GWS:  Hopper, picks 44, pick 61, pick 63 ----> Future 1st, Pick 31, Soldo.

Brisbane:   Pick 36 ------> Pick 44, Pick 61, Pick 63.



ps. GWS then use either pick 31 (probably too much) or a future pick to get Bedford.
