Trade Requested Bailey Smith [reportedly headed to Geelong]

[year of the cat]

Assuming we finish around 4-6 then ~ pick 14 by itself should be close to being around the mark. I’d probably throw in a F3 in order for us to have some skin in this draft.

This, he's out of contract. A 1st and a F3 is more than enough.

If you can't comprehend that the post was a pisstake then I can't help you.

Well who cares, there is never a positive thing said about the Pies from almost all of the industry.
We love to be hated

The media performed a love ceremony on the pies for the last two season

Don’t act like you have been hard done by

What a load of revisionist bullshit LOL
Pies get slobbed on and have been slobbed on for the past 2 years, media hype around them is ridiculous.

Also the amount mud thrown at Geelong last year that has not been thrown at Collingwood despite having a near identical reigning premiership season.

The standards are different

Cats were getting absolutely barraged with injuries last year and all we heard from media and the like was,
"They are old, slow and cooked" (looking at you David King you ****head)

Pies have similar run with injuries and form and all we hear is, "But yeah look how hard done by they are with injuries"

Make it make sense! lol

news....

Did you all see this?

Reckon that's when we'll get the big idea of where Baz is going

 

[The 747]

If it's me I'd throw out first in, then pretend to um and ah about it before throwing our second in the ring too.

Most cats fans I don't think would do the second part

Our first, nothing else for mine (unless we are swapping irrelevant picks).

Yeah, fully acknowledge I am way more excited about this trade than most

Yeah geez how dare you get excited about a young star talent wanting to join your team....

Not me, I defs haven't been photoshopping pictures already

Reminds me of the Cats fan who got the 2008 GF tatt before the game was played

 

[Foxman98]

This, he's out of contract. A 1st and a F3 is more than enough.

Then we say no deal and Bailey can sign a 2 year contract with us or go to Richmond/North/Hawthorn because he won't be dropping that far

OOC isn't the same as free agent

Our first right now is pick 6.

We'd expect a 2nd rounder back.

6 which will get pushed back

To 7
Talent available won’t change

To 8 at a minimum both Lombard and Ashcroft will go before then

Who cares?? Doesn't impact the talent order. They are off the table.

You'd probably get Jagga Smith FFS.

Well it does because you aren't getting the 6th best player you are getting the 8th,

If the top 10 were all academy picks is pick 1 really pick 1?

 

[smish]

Question for WB supporters. If Baz, chooses Geelong, what else would you want from them if their first pick is 12-14? This could realistically be pushed back to 16-20.

When has that worked? In like the entire history of the League?

Luke Ball? Didn’t he end up where he wanted to go anyway?

If a player wants to go somewhere, get what you can. There is not much you can do.

Not if they are still contracted, xerri wanted to go to saints, we say no you stay.

[Hamingja]

If we retain our F1, I would say the contract we pay Smith carries a significant more risk than the actual trade pieces IMO.

I'm not huge on the Smith risk but as long as our F1 stays out of the deal, I would understand the club taking the risk.
