What a strange world

L Baker27 year old
T Barrass 29 years old

B Smith 24 years old

All going for similar sort of trade value up/down 5 picks

 

[Ash1337]

Would have been fine if the pick was just 13-14 for Smith.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Aged well.

To be fair I fully agreed

Meh, well throw more in

 

[PurpJuice]

Aged well.

Great upset win by the Cats. Might have to throw in their future first now depending on how they go for the rest of the year.

Yeah good luck with that lol
You can try but I doubt it

Hey this 100 dollar note isn't quite going to cover the $120 bill. You need to put in anther $200

Fantastic analogy, spot on

 

[PurpJuice]

Because all first round picks have the same value

 

[CatToTheFuture]

What are you actually talking about?

More like $75 to cover your $150 bill,

Your pick now at best is 18-20 not even remotely close to enough for Smith

We'll see

 

[Doggy]

We'll see

In the 20s which is where your first rounder will be isn't anything like mid first round.

It may have been close before but it's not now

Battle Compo/Ashcroft/Lombard/Kako makes it currently at best 20

Ok cool but the jump from that pick to having 2 firsts involved more than doubles the stake. That's the original point.

 

[year of the cat]

We’ll probably now throw in a F2.

No it doesn't... that would be essentially a first and second

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No it doesn't... that would be essentially a first and second

It's not though.

I'm a big proponent of this trade but you have to recognise there a fair bit going on that adds pretty substantial risk.

They didn't trade out a future first for Ollie Henry off the back of a premiership year I don't think they'll do it for a guy off an acl with other things to sort out.

Smith's a far far better player than Henry was at the time of the trade. Not really a useful comparison

Oli Henry was a very late first round pick who struggled to get a game consistently Bailey Smith was winning finals off his own boot at 21 they aren't remotely comparable

There is much more at play than just on field performance here

Look I'm not arguing Smith isn't good at footy. I'm arguing that the Cats would put a line in the sand on trade value based on risk.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong

Yeah, like Geelong wouldn't sweep any of it under the rug ala Stengle who will probably be out this weekend

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Let's just agree to disagree on this because we're talking about different things

 

[Libbaaaa]

Why would he go to Geelong to be behind Danger, Atkins, Bruhn, Holmes, Mullin, Blicavs, Mannagh in the midfield?
