Trade Requested Bailey Smith

[CatToTheFuture]

How quickly that is forgotten when a supporter base wants a player for diddly squat

No one is saying we'd give nothing. We're saying probably a first and a second, which until a week ago was the consensus from everyone on both sides on the ledger in this forum.

Cam Mackenzie board.

Is a better prospect. Yes.

But this thread is about Smith

Not all first rounders are equal

We've gone up like 3 spots on the ladder mate, calm your farm

To put your comment in context, teams were paying a second rounder to move up ONE place in the 2023 draft.

It's the responsibility of any team that wants him to satisfy the dogs. Not the other way around

When we've got supporters of clubs crowing who've brought in talent like Cam Mackenzie and Jedd Busslinger with rolled-gold picks in the same draft it's probably best not to send barbs at others unless we're being facetious I reckon.

But yep, back to the topic at hand we go.

You're not even comparing players from the same position

Much rather key position player Busslinger over nothing player Jhye Clark

 

[PurpJuice]

It's Hawks or Cats. No one else.
Still yet to choose apparently.

He’s still a decent chance to stay as well apparently.

They paid that at a point where the outcome was known and the back end of the draft was known to be pretty barren. This is a different draft with a very even first round

And we all look forward to him finally getting a game eventually in the mighty Footscray backline.

I hope he stays.

Some traded in from THIS year .... so again, you have to satisfy the dogs not hand out some late first rounder that might be in the 20s after academy and father sons selections

And thr mighty Geelong midfield Clark can't get into. What a find, especially for a top 19 pick

Cool, let me know how that goes for you

15 games this year in a top 4 side...

Now I'm starting to get the suspicion you've just been making stuff up all along. Oh well, good luck with young Jedd.

Clark has played basically every game this year....

Your midfield is led by a geriatric Dangerfield which is why you want Smith so badly.

Averaging a massive 13 disposals

And concession accepted. Let's get back on topic.

With 4 games as sub.

Regardless, you claimed he wasn't getting a game. He's played 2 vfl games this year.

He'd play a lot less if Geelong had midfield depth. Maybe even next year if Smith goes there

Genuine question. How much emotional investment do you think cats fans have over a pick given to us as steak knives in a salary dump?

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Especially when Bailey Smith almost won the best finals player award in 2021 (his third year), second to Jack Macrae.

Just read that out loud for a sec and maybe you'll understand what you're saying.

Player 1 was All Australian and top 5 in the Brownlow in a season where he was traded.

Player 2 was "Almost the best player for 4 weeks...and it was 3 years ago".

There's no comparison. Would be happy to give up a top 10 pick and more to get 2019 Tim Kelly into our side.

Smith...not so much.

Assuming we are still interested Collingwood’s future first is becoming more and more attractive given our recent performances and ladder position.

Particularly compared to Geelongs 2024 first rounder.
