Trade Requested Bailey Smith [reportedly headed to Geelong]

[CatToTheFuture]

Feel like the links have been stronger to Geelong in recent weeks.

The k rock guys were passing on an unconfirmed rumour though. Just that he'd looked at and not bought a luxury place in bellbrae. Not saying anything is locked in

Pick 24, lol.

Should be pick 40-50 based on his injury history and other issues!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

14 and 34 Dogs request probably. Cats will go with just 14. Probably end up something going back for 14 & 34 or 14 & future 2nd/3rd in the end. The price probably depends on if Stengle stays or goes in what cats are willing to give up.

I would pay that.

As usual, it's the opposite of what you say.

Not necessarily I think he meant all the picks between 40-50 which under the system is the equivalent of Nick Daicos!

Man the dvi system just isnt reflective of reality. That's pick 1 and 23 on points. Imagine giving up pick 1 and 23 for the 11 picks 40-50

Obviously depends where we finish.
If we fall out of the 8 then you're probs getting Stengle compo only.

If we are finish where we are at currently Pick 13, then probably have to throw F3 depending on the back and forth.
If we finish top 4 then probably a F2 instead of F3.

We won't want to trade much out of this year's draft with lots of guys retiring. We will need to fill about 5/6 spots with one of them obviously being Baz so probably at least 4/5 spots.

We won't want to trade a future 1st either with an incoming rebuild due.
I'm sure both clubs will want it done quickly so they can get organized for the Draft

That way Dogs can enter back into the first round after they traded out their 2024 Pick to Gold Coast and Cats can get to work on who they want to take.

If they cared which they don’t they would immediately move to 2 pick matching with no discount and that would solve the pay fair price argument. The dvi is impossible because it’s static. Harley Reid worth a lot more than Josh Smillie for example. Would love to see it move to a bidding system with allocated pool of points that would allow market value to be paid rather than these arbitrary ones. Only way that happens is to show how it adds $ as that’s all the commission cares about the AFL isn’t a serious sporting administration.

In defence of the dvi system (and I'm not saying it's good), you can only take as many picks to the draft as you have open list spots.

So to achieve this you'd have to have 11 open list spots at the time of draft, which means north 2020 tier list cutting. Not too many well run clubs are doing that

CatAttack podcast mentioned Bailey was just recently looking at real estate around Bellbrae area.
I mean it could mean nothing but would be weird to get a house basically on Bells Beach and not play for Geelong right?

And I have been on the “Bailey the Hawks nuffie is going to Hawthorn” train

Geelong using their "Costa Living Allowance" to get Bailey into prime coastal real estate at a bargain price. They do it for every recruit

Yep, and the best part is there's nothing anyone can do about it!

So does every club.... actually Adelaide are pretty inept so maybe they don't?

Essendon would be the only other club that would come close to living rent free in the heads of opposition supporters.

Crows players used to have a suspiciously high rate of hospitality ventures with riccuto

Scott has supposedly gone all in on trying to lure Baz in recent months.

Remains to be seen how the increased attention plays out.

I would do obscene things to get a midfielder or two if I was Christopher

I think there is a lot of bullshit rumour about this potential move.

A few clubs would be keen, Hawks and Cats obvious fits.

Personally not that fussed, yes another AFL mid would be good but I don't rate Smith that highly.

I think Scott could kill a man in broad daylight and not get sacked. But blind Freddy can see he needs a ball winner who doesn't get beaten easily on the spread

Does this Blind Freddy you mention play mainly midfield or?….

As opposed to all those hospo roles linked with board members in SA?

You have to be a complete nonce to think only one team and not EVERY team is giving these guys things outside the cap lol

 

[DopeMaster]

Heard reports Pies have shown interest. Personally think it's a huge risk. Some players never recover their pace after an ACL, and without that, he's just an average mid with a sub-par kick. For the money and trade capital he'd command, I'd prefer that we bow out.

A sex offender? maybe nuffy or muppet or something would be more appropriate!

I wasn't aware sex offenders felt so strongly about payments outside of the salary cap. Would seem the least of their worries

 

[triple treat]

He will be a Hawk! Will be playing with his old school mate CJ next year

If he comes he comes but I’d rather we get Battle and release Weddle into the midfield. He can IMO do what Smith can do but will be better.
