Trade Requested Bailey Smith

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Free agent though wasn’t he? much easier..

Its the opposite. Makes him a much bigger turncoat then Bailey Smith

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Not hard to see why St.Kilda never win anything. Burke with the salty loser energy all sainters are ingrained with.

Its actually a seriously fair point though isnt it??

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

When you have two firsts coming in the door, you don’t risk it for VFL finals win lmao

Would love to get 2 firsts... but i have very little confidence we do

 

[PzBlinky]

stand my ground?

its a draft thread on a footy durm. Not the battle of troy.

go sit down.

Au contraire...

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Its the dumbest point of all time.

No it isnt.

Rehabbing a player for another team to benefit for the next decade, with no reimursement or compensation.

Its an interesting test situation.

They could’ve traded him last off season and he’d not have been their responsibility - but they chose not to despite him flagging an interest (no official trade request)

He then did the ACL under their instruction, in their workplace

Totally reasonable for them to be assisting him in his recovery I’d have thought

Watch us

(I dont think we will, but if he nominated, we would get it done)

Bit like when you got Mitchell and O’Meara, which worked out really well for you

Yep, understand that perspective for sure, however your first sentence is irrelevant.

In their workplace, under their conditions etc means they should have to pay for it. That is a very good point.

Its just that Geelong will now benefit entirely from it.

They also fed and clothes Bailey Smith and his ability to eat and wear clothes benefited him greatly. Should Doggies be reimbursed for all the meals they gave Smith during his time at the club?

Then we’d end up with Nick Watson. I’d much rather take a gamble on the next two drafts with late firsts.

Welcome to Hawthorn Baz.

We've got the $100m SurfNPlay Aquapark around the corner from Dingley. Stuff the surfcoast, enjoy the free entry to the wave pool.

Except we couldn't because the player has to agree on any trade.

Nice

Anyway, he’s going now and for less than he would’ve gone last year when he initially told you guys he wanted to go

You’ve got 100 young guns anyway - Sanders will replace him and anything else you get will be a bonus

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

I hope he comes to Geelong and think he will. (for current 1st only)

But at the same time it would be hilarious having the whole Smith, Ginnivan, Watson social media show at the Hawks.

 

[bulldogs201616]

Geelong first rounder this year and next?

Yeah well considering there most likely gonna be late first rounders that's fair.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Nah champ, not sure what a durm is

Stop being wishy washy, if smith wants to be a hawk, he will be a hawk

You can sit down, finals aint your specialty

I'll take that into account the next time i lace up for Essendon rofl

 

[jackag24]

Its actually a seriously fair point though isnt it??

Not really. If he wasn't capable of playing you wouldn't get maximum value for him on the market.

He is an asset to the dogs. Regardless of if he wants to leave or not.

 

[TylerDurden]

Bit like when you got Mitchell and O’Meara, which worked out really well for you

Mitch won a Brownlow and 3 x BnFs.
Wouldve been more had he not broken his leg.

 

[bulldogs201616]

Dogs should play hard ball and push for a first and future first. Or just let him walk to the preseason draft

100% what happens

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

All I know is if he goes to Hoks he's shit and we never wanted him and if he comes to us it's the steal of the century. Ether way Geelong wins baby!

 

[scrim reaper]

Would be your best small forward by a large margin

 

[Warhorse]

Could be but will have multiple 2nds coming back

 

[BIGHAWK23]

I'll take that into account the next time i lace up for Essendon rofl

Good job champ

 

[Gw2_James]

Dam i wish it was Carlton.

If our club offered our 1st + 2nd for Smith + 3rd I'd be happy with that.
