I honestly think Geelong is being a little tight about Smith.

Remember how much we demanded for Tim Kelly?

I think Geelong should throw in a future 2nd or 3rd. I think he is worth that.

Pick 20 or so by itself seems unders for a gun like Smith and is and short changing the dogs a bit I think.

Mackie is very very tight.
They'll add more, they're just waiting for deadline because power won't sign anything until deadline anyway

Id say everyone deep down know this to be true. Dogs would want the 2nd, Cats would want the 3rd.

Comes down to who blinked first.

Because the deal was probably done last Friday but the AFL are keeping it for this evening. Along with Parker Barrass Bolton and Rioli.

So much faux drama to build up !!

It's typical Mackie behaviour and it's bordering on embarrassing at times.

If Wells was still running the show this would have all been sorted days ago.

AFL should start handing out bonus money to clubs that get deals done within the first 5 hours of trade week starting.

It's faux drama, we'll give the second

I don't think it would have been. Power has to sign the deal and he's just going to hold out whatever we put forward waiting for done other opportunities to get a better deal to present
 
Bonus cap space to get done on the first day?

Every trade would be done and then trade radio would just sit around talking about the draft?

Good call it trade hour or trade day and get it over with. Nobody wants Tom Morris running around like he's king d..k with player movements.
 
Doesn't the AFL have a mediation faculty that gets used occasionally?
They haven't been called in so it's likely talks are progressing behind closed doors.
 
i mean Liam Baker got pick 14, dont even start me on Rioli.....and this undeniable gun is only 23?????

I think the mediation system is basically the afl going up to the list managers and saying "come on guys let's not be d***s about this"
