Because he's not as good a player as:
Dusty
Cotchin
Bolton
Prestia
Hopper
Taranto; and
Short
and you can only have so many mids in the team. He is also competing with younger players like Dow, Sonsie and Ross to be a back-up option

Which fringe players would you trade, so that we can keep a pick? Don't say Aarts.
Yes - Soldo (19), Castagna (30), Dow (30), Mansell (30)
No - Ross (19), Graham (19), Ralphsmith (30)
I'd trade Soldo, but I'd rather keep Ross or Graham than pick 19.
I'd trade Castagna, Dow or Mansell, but I'd rather keep Ralphsmith than pick 30.

I wouldnt trade Dow
I think we have enough picks to get the 2 GWS boys and the delisting of any of the above players would mean taking a kid at a late pick and doubt they would be the quality of the above players and we already have 2+ years development into these boys and they provide mature depth next 3 years
Just do the deal with our picks , Keep our players and only take the 1 kid in the draft (KPP or Ruckman)

Show a bit of respect for the man who recruited Lachie Plowman.
Twice.
In total he recruited nine players twice. That's backing yourself.
Hopper being contracted is not a plus for the club that has to get that contract off its books.
The man recruited Jono O'Rourke. With pick 2. And sold him two years later for pick 19 when it was obvious he was dogshit. He's a genius.
Ah, Lara. The Dandenong of Geelong. No one from Geelong would say Lara is Geelong.
"I'm from Melbourne."
"Oh, whereabouts?"
"Seymour."
"Hmm."

Close enough. But yes Lara is now pretty much a suburb of Geelong. And who gives an F about Geelong beyond it's home to the team I most want to not win the premiership.
Second, I love the feeling of cognitive dissonance in supporting SOS. He did a great job on Carlton's list, and I deeply mean that - he did a great job
.Third, GWS is between a rock and a hard place. They have to lose Hopper and Taranto, this year. If both say Richmond, then GWS doesn't have much wiggle room or ability to play hard ball. Hard ball = hurting themselves
. So we'll see what happens. But I suspect the Tigers will offer a decent trade, and that's all. GWS can agree or negotiate, and hope that they don't screw up the trade. Not a strong position for the Giants.So here's hoping that the trade happens for less than what i think is likely fair. I'm really hoping that my trade ability is below even SOS's.

It's Time!
Met a good mate of mine who now lives in Brisy and his rellies,all Tigers from Corio.
Pretty much where I sit.
Richmond should just avoid trade week this year until late afternoon on the last day
Just go in 1 hour before
Go to the bathroom clean up
Get some biscuits and coffee
chit chat with the boys a bit
Say Hi to the GWS boys and tell them what our offer is and walk away
they have no choice and have to clear cap space

Do Castagna, Dow and Mansell have any value ? Only player with value on your list aside Soldo is Graham and I would be open to trade him if we get hopper and Taranto. Can’t get anything good if you’re not willing to give up something good
I like Graham and think he has a pretty long future in the game and would be happy if that's with us. But if we're bringing in taranto and hopper and we decide that Graham is no longer best 22, I don't think we can afford to have his salary (~$500k) in the reserves given how tight our cap will be. I wouldn't be happy to see him gone but a future 2nd from Essendon and ~$400k saved per year would probably be for the best

Surely Soldo worth a pick in the 20s! CCJ went to North for pick 19 last year and then couldn't get a game there.
He’s one of us now

See, you're making too much sense to be from Geelong. I bet you've never even rooted a sheep, been made redundant from the hubcap assembly line or shanked anyone for a point of meth.Close enough. But yes Lara is now pretty much a suburb of Geelong. And who gives an F about Geelong beyond it's home to the team I most want to not win the premiership.

Lol SOS. This is the guy who thought he got the recruit of the century in Liam Stocker.
CCj went for 19 because of potential and thats about it and north over paid
Soldo will be 27 with a knee injury and for a 204cm big man that carry's 105kgs in the Ruck thats not a great sign
I wouldnt want to be giving up more than a pick #40 for Soldo if he was coming to my team

Well I did get made redundant from Ford. Sort of.
Working on the line there made me want to go back to uni and finish my degree.
Sheep, hmm, more kiwi thing that.
And meth, well I leave that up to you.

We gave them a few picks in the 50s along with CCJ for a pick that could have been anywhere between 20 and 25.
Likely to be no better than 21 after Ashcroft bid and North compo pick at end of 1st round
Considering they offered Taranto a new contract while Hopper is still under contract suggests they have the money to keep one of them comfortably. They'd make it work if they had to, just as they would have when they matched geelongs bid for Jezza and forced them to trade.
Are you saying Soldo is worth pick 19? Not a chance. Soldo, Ross, Graham and Ralphsmith if traded could allow us to hold on to pick 30 at best. None of them would amount to pick 19. The rest not even pick 30.
