Should have combined the deals for him and Taranto.

Jacob Hopper (GWS to Richmond)

We say: Tim Taranto moved on the first day of the trade period, but a move for Hopper – who’s in contract – has been far more difficult to resolve. The Herald Sun reports the deal for the Giants midfielder could involve Richmond parting with pick 31, a future first round pick, a later pick this year and Soldo.

However, negotiations have significantly quietened in recent days.

@TomBrowne7 says Richmond feel they can get Jacob Hopper without having to give up Ivan Soldo 👀

Jon Ralph too.

So Tigers get Taranto and Hopper for 12, 19, 31 and a future first-rounder. Get back a late pick from GWS (they have 61 and 63) and keep Soldo. Adam Kingsley not seen to be a huge fan of rucks for the sake of it. Tigers were very keen to keep Soldo

As much as they wanted to say they were seperate deals, I was always of the opinion that we gave them 12 and 19 for Taranto on day 1 in good faith to allow them to manoeuvre their other trades to move up the draft. And they did end up using our pick 12 to secure the no.1 pick.

F1 and 31 for hopper might seem light but when you combine all 4 picks for both players I think that is a fair deal for both clubs. Some might say it’s a little over some might say it’s a little under but I don’t think anyone will argue one team has had a big win/loss over the other.

[mightytiges]

Agree TK. It's evened out across both deals.

Rich:  12, 19, F1, 31 -> Taranto, Hopper, 53, 63.


Pick 53 should end up somewhere in the 40s once Brisbane uses all their picks as points for their Father/Sons Ashcroft and Fletcher.

[one-eyed]

A financial element is likely to be a part of the Hopper deal with Richmond, with the player still having a year to run on his contract before he was due to hit free agency.

Excellent outcome for Richmond well done...
Welcome to Tigerland Jacob.

Now hopefully we can find a sneaky Liam Baker type with those late picks. And I think it has to be goodbye Aarts and Martyn surely. Give Dawkins 1 more year to prove his worth.
