I can't see where the club has announced the contract terms for Soldo or BZT, so maybe the footywire website just goes with the minimum until it's known.

How freaking tall is Sweet? He dwarfs Tredrea and he's a big guy.
Or did they just not let Warren up on the stage?

I am not sure where Jordan will fit into our side. Unless of course someone his told Hinkley you allowed to play two genuine ruckmen as some sides do.

Sweet unfortunately isn't a great mark. If he was, we could go through him in the corridor, which us and most other sides seem to have done a lot of in the preseason games.
He could depending on the oppo, it would mean dropping a tall forward.
Hinkley has never worked a two ruck setup well, one usually drops off a cliff in form.

Sweet and Soldo should never ever ever play in the same team in a real game unless we have about 4 injured key forwards.

You do know they are considering it!
I reckon they're going to pick them both round 1 and go with just Dixon and Marshall as the tall forwards

I'd also love to know why the club spent the last however many years shitting on Sam Hayes but has apparently suddenly fallen in love with 'Sam Hayes but not as good a tap ruck' instead. I can understand Soldo, but Sweet doesn't do anything that Hayes couldn't do.
The main reason is because Kenny might actually play Sweet.
Hayes was pointless because no matter how good he got, our coaches had a vested interest in him failing; the games he got where we won and he dominated in the ruck made our coaching group look incredibly stupid.
Sweet has none of that baggage. And he sure as hell beats us putting in Finlayson/Lycett in to that position.
Go a month off the darts?

Agreed, from what I have seen in the trial matches they will have more chance of being effective working in tandem than just Soldo going it alone, and I suspect there may not be a real lot of difference between the two talent wise anyway, with Ivan probably better at the bullocking type stuff and Sweet the better tap ruckman.

The only thing I'm seeing that Sweet has that's better is his movement, he's far more agile looking. But totally agree. He better absolutely dominate the SANFL this year.

Issue is we need a ruck that can own the ruck.
Soldo and Sweet as individuals can not.
We need to lose a third tall forward to cover our ruck position.
Our 3rd tall forward doesn’t do enough as a forward to justify playing them as a part time ruckman.
May as well play Sweet and Soldo.
In a month it will be Dante and Soldo.
Next year it’s Dante.

Soldo solo is what will happen we all know it.

Going to get more athletic players running off of him once he runs out of puff.
I like Soldo but Richmond let him go for a reason and it wasn't their love of Ken.
50/50 in the ruck we keep them both relatively fresh and on top of the ground.
We use to play Lycett and Ladhams regularly until the Lad was traded to Sydney.
If the coaching staff doesn't play both Soldo and Sweet, then Dixon has to be an instant in for back up ruck duties along with the tall forward stuff.
