You clearly don’t understand how it works.
Dogs will ask for value around pick 7, and probably end up being screwed over with pick 18 + f1.

A lot of the angst against Geelong is unfounded. We had to trade for Dangerfield and Cameron. Every club had multiple chances to take JHenry, Kolo, Stewart, Zuthrie, Bews, Dempsey, Humphries, Mannagh, Close, Miers, Neale, Atkins. One crack at least at Holmes & Duncan. Free hits at Blicavs and Mullin. Some laughed at us giving early 20’s for Stanley. Bowes & Stengle was good business others could have agreed.
Bruhn, Henry and Tuohy the only ones traded where the other club may have felt shortchanged but hardly worthy of all the melts some put out here.
That’s our 24 that were involved in an 84 point qualifying final win.
We’ll cough up a first and possibly second for Smith and that feels about right. If not we’ll move on to something else, as we always do.
I understand how it works.
We will get this year's first, and Geelong's future second, just like dude who keeps repeating himself says.
It’s one thing to say a 1st and a 2nd feels right but that realistically could be pick 20 and pick 40. Not sure anyone would think that feels right.

Thats why there will probably be later pick shuffles that favour the dogs. But there wont be an F1 in that is the point.
It entirely depends on how Geelong go for the rest of the year. If it’s pick 18, it will absolutely involve f1 too.
Pick 18, and what could also be pick 18, is essentially two second rounders after academy bids etc.
That’s what we paid for Lobb, who has admittedly turned into a fantastic player but the point still stands.
I would be shocked and surprised if Geelong added a F1 on the Smith trade I just don’t see that happening.
It won’t happen. I’d say it will start as 2024 first plus F2, with anything more needed coming from later picks.
Why are you comparing a contracted key position player, to an uncontracted small midfielder?
Reckon there will be a few people disappointed in the outcome with the trade if they think we somehow get a F1

It’s a shame because I think baz is the exact type of player we need to get into our slow aging midfield
If he could kick, yes. But we struggle with hitting targets i50 and Baz was the main culprit at that.

Our pick next year could easily be top 6 which is why we wont trade it.
Also your lobb trade involved 2 later 2nds not top 20 picks.
We will trade our 1st and 2nd this year plus change, maybe its a future 2nd, maybe theres a (fringe) player involved. But the future 1st absolutely wont be.
If I was the Bulldogs, the comparison would be Tim Kelly.
Out of contract. Wanted to leave. Similar age.
Geelong asked for, and received, 2 firsts plus 2 seconds.
Obviously Geelong cannot trade F1 and F2, so the Dogs might need to accept a 1st and 2nd this year, plus F1.
People might say the Eagles paid too much for Kelly, and I agree, but that is the value placed on him by Geelong. So people might call them hypocritical if they complained.
At the end of the day, 2 firsts for Smith and a second, is probably realistic but the Dogs could start with the Kelly comparison.

Exactly. 2 firsts will be the bare minimum cost for Geelong, and I’m assuming we will accept that.

Tim Kelly was coming off an AA season and top 5 in the brownlow, not off a knee reco FFS.
And WC not drafting him originally, then not getting it done the previous year when he was contracted and requested to be traded, put extra pressure on them closing the deal the second time
I’m assuming you’re on something, not onto something.
He certainly seems to have an addiction

They really just compared All Australian and Top 5 Brownlow Finish Tim Kelly to post ACL tear Bailey Smith who hasn’t played in 12 months….how many All Australian gigs? How many times has he gone close to winning the freaking Brownlow?
Laughable, there’s levels to this.
Assuming he picks Hawthorn I’m guessing we’ll be seeing the exact same offer on the table?
Idk, to me it would seem hypocritical to suggest what other teams should give up and not back it up with your own team making the same offer. Right?
I don’t think Hawthorn are in the race since their interest in Barass.

Why would it change? Not every club is the Gold Coast and bends over for Geelong.
