Better the devil you know.I can't see a world where we bring in Smith for pick 3 and subsequently lose the opportunity of getting in the likes of a Duursma or Watson.
No way.
Wouldn't surprise me if they're trying to get Oliver and someone like a CJ/Scrim.I think the Bulldogs will want a player or players trade for Smith. Maybe in addition to picks. Could be complex but there is no secret that they are looking for an inside mid due to Liberatore's workload plus a back flanker type which we seem to have an abundance of. If my thinking is correct, then a possible trade has every chance of happening.
Scrim would be the obvious starting point, he fills a need for them and isn't a lock for our 22. I'd hate to lose him like this, but if they asked for Butler I wouldn't be hanging up the phone on them. Apart from that, I can't think of any players that they might want and we'd be happy to give up.I think the Bulldogs will want a player or players trade for Smith. Maybe in addition to picks.

Stats only go back so far but he averages the most disposals, contested possessions, 3rd most clearances and 9 most tackles since those stats have been recorded. All while just having turned 26.Oliver isn't even the best inside mid at Melbourne, let alone one of the best in the history of the game.

Sure he’s got off field issues but on field he’s a gun.
Despite that being McClure
100% agree.Pick 3 (which will be pick 5 or so), should definitely be considered for Bailey Smith.PLAYERCARDSTART6Bailey Smith

Whilst most people have clear recency bias with him, he is a great, great player. Just 12 months ago, 95% of people wanted to argue he was the best player from his draft and some even considered him superior to Walsh? (I didn't).
This season he gets played incredibly out of position on a wing/HF by a terrible coach, as well as an interrupted year somewhat.
People also forget the inherent risk that comes with drafting. There is always an inherent risk, no matter who you take. DGB prime example thus far.
Do you really need to overthink it in terms of a 'what if'?
Yes, a Duursma or someone might be a very handy, good player. But Bailey Smithis already that?PLAYERCARDSTART6Bailey Smith

I am the only one that sees incredible upside to seeing his speed next to contested beasts such as Worpel, Jai, Nash & Day?
If he has that midfield to rely on, he would be an absolute star in our Team.
I understand a top 5 pick is a steep asking price - but every asking price is steep with contracted players these days.
I would do it.
I smell a lazy stat watcher. If only there were other stats that told the whole story.

NewboldThe guy up the back has to be a dodgy agent.
WB board seem to think Lobb is leaving.
Will never happen. He's in contract - Dogs will want 3 for Smith straight swap.
Didn't he just get there?
Grundy gone after one season.
And the rumours of interest in Meek recently.
This is the new look NBA, I mean, AFL.
Lobb is a chronic flight risk. He fits a need for us but is already 30.WB board seem to think Lobb is leaving.
