The Western Bulldogs want a pick inside the top 10 of November’s super draft from Geelong in exchange for Bailey Smith.

Why does this apply to the Bulldogs (wanting a trade haul) but not to Smith (wanting to play for the Geelong FC)?

Player power versus club power in modern player trading. Write a letter to the AFLPA about it
Na, no thanks.

So you're saying you'd rather 76 and 94 instead of a 17 + F2?Na, no thanks.

Surely your brain works better than this?

Surely you don't think a trade made between Geelong and a team that Bailey Smith doesn't play for 12 months ago has little relevance to his trade request this year?

And I want a date with Margot Robbie.
I've probably got a marginally better chance of success.
Please, think harder.
The point is, if it’s okay for your club to dig heels in until you’re satisfied, then why can’t we?
Already balancing trade week with grade 5 homework he’s doing ok..

Mackie dug his heels in over a 4th and 5th round pick. Power is asking for a top 10 pick - you can't see a difference and you're telling me to think harder?

Still not getting the point.
It’s staggering and also mind numbing.
Gullan's previously wrote (at least) a couple of books about Geelong's premiership wins, this seems to be written coming from our club's view as well. Framed that the Dogs are unreasonably asking for a pick we simply aren't able to obtain and that our offer is a fair one with the classic threat that we'll take him with our first if they don't agree to a trade and they get nothing.

No I get the point, you said it yourself. If Geelong can dig their heels in then why can't the Dogs? They can, but the currency at stake is not even close. Geelong got offered picks 24 and 72, they asked for more and got pick 90 (which Port had anyway). Dogs have been offered pick 17 and want a top 10 pick - Geelong doesn't even have a top 10 pick.
If you think adding pick 90 to a deal is in the same stratosphere as asking for pick 17 to be upgraded to a top 10 pick then I don't know what to tell you.
The fact your list manager dug his heels in for so long for two shithouse late picks, basically sums up my point. Hes a stubborn prick. Which Sam Power should be also.
Power values him as top 10. Mackie at 17.
Good, meet halfway and get it done.
The point still stands, if you guys can be stubborn and drag your heels, then so can we.

Top 10 is a wishful thinking but you’d expect at least 11-15

As above- think harder.

telling people to think harder because you can't explain yourself clearly is adding nothing to the discussion
Have a look at the two idiotic replies.
You know they are idiotic but you don’t like getting called out on it.
Happy to elaborate if you genuinely need more assistance.
