Trade Requested Bailey Smith [reportedly headed to Geelong]

[Iago]

It does when you include Ashcroft Lombard and Kako

Players that neither team have access to. It may be pick 20 but you are accessing a player your recruiting team has assessed available to you.

Everyone has access to them the club can decide not to match the bid Irving Mosquito Josh Dunkley a few examples for you obviously due to their elite talent the clubs won't let them go so word it however you like you're getting the 20th best player in the draft

Smart to be trading out of this draft with all the free agency compensation and father/sons + academy players blowing the first round out. Would hate to be picking night one as it stands with all this dilution going on. MackAttack does it again.

 

[Golden_6]

Geelongs first and change isn’t going to cut it.

Imagine thinking that essentially a couple of second rounders will get this done.

For midfielder that can't get a game in your midfield? Steady on mate

• He was playing midfield. He attended 30% of centre bounces in the 2023 season.
• It's possible to simultaneously be an elite player and not be a better footballer than Bontempelli, Liberatore and Treloar were in 2023, players who took up a majority of midfield minutes.

I can't believe the Cats are idiotic enough to even want a dud like this on their list.

Can you?

Can you?

He'd be probably our best mid but surely you acknowledge that's a low bar

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Even so, you still want such a poor player to head up your midfield?

 

[Some Idiot]

I don't know if Geelong will get this deal done

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Even so, you still want such a poor player to head up your midfield?

What are you actually talking about? He's a good player that I would pay a first and second round pick for.

 

[Pencil case]

Geelong give: first + future first.

Dogs give: Baz + future second.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

What are you actually talking about? He's a good player that I would pay a first and second round pick for.

What are you talking about?

He can't even get a run in our midfield!

At least, that's what you said...

Neither Geelong nor the Bulldogs would have access to them. It may be pick 20 but you're picking the 17th player available in the open pool. As assessed by your recruiting team.

Don't need to if Doggies try to drag this out, Bailey would go to National Draft.

No List manager is using a first on a guy who only wants to play for Geelong.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

What are you talking about?

He can't even get a run in our midfield!

He can be a good midfielder worth trading every pick you have in a deep draft before pick 56 and simultaneously not the next Patrick Dangerfield. Those are not mutually exclusive talking points.

How many did he attend in the last completed season?

Yes, your midfield is better than ours.

However, our forward line, backline and coaching panel are much better than yours, which is why Geelong has consistently outperformed the Bulldogs for the past two decades.

Just saying...

And no Bulldogs fan is referring to him as the next Dangerfield nor calling for trade value equivalent to prime Dangerfield.

There’s absolutely no chance he makes it Geelong’s pick 22-23, and Cats know this.

Is that so? How did it happen with Luke Ball then?

You know nothing about what they are thinking and trying to pretend to is hilarious

2023 was the last completed season...

You genuinely believe he’d still be there at 23?

If the rumours are true and he’s not on much money, almost every club would be willing to take a gamble if he’s cheap.

Geelong are just not going to take that risk. 1st + f1 with something coming back is still unders, but would be the bare minimum at least.

Geelong haven't signed him to anything?
All he has to say is "do not draft me, if you do I will not play for you"

Then what? Lol
That team then just used a first round pick in a deep draft on a guy who doesn't want to show up.
Great list management...
