Trade Requested Bailey Smith

Dogs and Saints would say no, that’d be way too good for Geelong.

so dogs will be happier if geelong gives a f1 to stkilda like the original trade?

Trading Macrae and Smith for pick 7 in either trade is wild. Smith should be worth that alone (obv it won’t happen Geelong’s f+f1 is most likely)

Geelong have no obligation to give an out of contract player 2 first round picks.
They would absolutely walk him to the National Draft before doing that.

what is the appeite for the dogs to keep mcrae and his sizable deal when dogs need to be in a position to offer a decent paid rise to their two best players next year.

Based on last year it seems dogs rather not focus on potentials for next season. They need to bring in midfield talent to replace aging players. In 2yrs it'll be without potentially Libba & Treloar as main midfield with Bont maybe needing more time forward. So Sanders, Richards, Gallagher, Garcia, Harmes, & maybe west. A low pick is what dogs want reportedly & 7 Satisfies that. The trade favors saints because 7 is obviously going to be in demand.

So deep that Bevo had to throw a Hail Mary putting Lobb back because he didn’t trust those in the VFL.

Bevo is a weird unit so it seems right on brand for him to do something like he did with Lobb.
Sometimes a great coach, sometimes a baffling coach.

No inbetween

Cap is fine. We asked about Barrass and have met with Houston so there is space to bring someone in even if we kept Macrae.

You mean regular draft? I believe players aren't able to set contract demands in that. Bailey would never put himself through that. Rather chance going to Tigers if that was his choice.

Luke Ball did IIRC. Played for $500k in his first year and base salary for the second.
Rules may have changed since then.

It's moot as Richmond have a truckload of cap and loads of early picks.

Richmond are not going to waste a first rounder in a deep draft on a guy who doesn’t want to be there.
They aren’t stupid.
We saw this happen with Luke Ball, no one grabbed him and he got all the way to the Pies pick with no one else picking him up as he only wanted to get to one place.

The Draft threat is just BF posters trying to act like a hostage situation whereas List Mangers are far more mature and actually care about how it affects their job performanc.

Either Dogs accept the deal (it’s not even a bad deal, this draft is deep) or they get nothing and spited themselves over a guy who isn’t even in their long term plans. Not to mention piss off the AFL, D’Orazio who has a tonne of clients, The Player Union etc etc.
Everything else being said is posturing from people who aren’t even ITK

Damian Hardwick & Ross Lyon would back themselves to talk Baz around if he went into the draft..
