Is it weird to say the ACL shouldn't really matter when discussing his value?
If your club chases him and offers a reported 5-6 year deal on big money (as in will likely be the highest paid mid at your club once he signs), then obviously you don't believe the knee is an issue and his health has been ticked off. If you offer him big contract for a lot of years, it's sort of hard to turn around and then say ahh yeah the trade value isn't good though because his knee is stuffed. Why are you investing heavily in him then?
Sounds like your mob right now. Except Smith is a far superior player
If the shoe fits
The irony is crazy
Poor widdle Geelong. Always so hard done by.And we didn't get our way did we?....Do you not see my point?
Why are others allowed to do it to us but we can't do it to others?
Only we are judged harshly for it.
Poor widdle Geelong. Always so hard done by.
Have a think...why would we feel like we could do the same then? If others can do it, why can't we?
Maybe if your club didn't call ours telling us that you weren't going hard for Smith ... and then that sly prick Scott sits on AFL360 and denies it.Exactly, why can't we be hard on others teams?....you guys will sit here and say dumb shit like this.
May as well play hardball, people are gonna hate either way.
Poor widdle Geelong. Always so hard done by.
Who has rorted Geelong exactly?
And then holding out until the 11th hour for a pick in the 60s and claiming they weren't being ridiculousRata is VFL depth at best. That’d be like us asking for a first for Ryan Gardiner.

Geelong wouldn't let Kelly go home for family reasons and then played hard ball despite him not being contracted the following year. You're now crying poor that the dogs want more than a crap pick in the 20s for Smith who you know will be your key piece in the midfieldOh by losing out on players you mean like Prime Tim Kelly and Jordan Clark who now is a AA squad level talent?
Not to mention prime Gary Ablett for basically nothing.

We’ve lost Krueger, Clarke, Caddy, McCarthy just to name a few for under, it happens, we just don’t bitch and moan about it so much..Poor widdle Geelong. Always so hard done by.

people melting about not getting a second rounder for Esava is peak comedy
do you think every poster in here is the same person?As opposed to sooking about offers for Smith and comparing him to Tim Kelly who nearly won a Brownlow?
Smith is a good player, but he has never been on that level...ever
Keep that same energy right? The logic applies the same.

Also, i've been saying we should pay 2024 First and multiple seconds so i don't think your gripe is with me.
It wasn't even a dogs supporter who made that connection yet you keep running with it.As opposed to sooking about offers for Smith and comparing him to Tim Kelly who nearly won a Brownlow?

So just to be clear on this. Your proposing to lose smith for nothing instead of accepting a first round pick this year?
Must be nice to afford not getting a first rounder.

I said Geelong played hardball with WC for Kelly and didn't let him leave initially, but now you are crying poor that the dogs want something resembling fair value for Smith.
You say that as if that’s a good deal. Sam Power would burst into tears laughing if Geelong came to the table with that.
I think you guys are severely overrating Smith's value. I know i personally am a bigger fan of Smith than most Cats fans but even i'd walk away if it came down to trading multiple firsts. That's just me though, someone else may feel different.
I would look to improve our own First but yeah multiple firsts? I personally wouldn't do it.

Likewise, the club will walk if that is the case.
Smith is worth a high end first and then throw in the steak knives to sweeten the deal.
