Future first?
How has he done anything that has increased his draft value?
If we give a future first for Ben Hobbs...you would think we would have learned

Maybe give up that pick around 30
But we also need to be ready to move up to grab a talented mid or KPP slider

Next years first will go on Mcguane anyway. We'll get points for young Tom and beef up our midfield for the next 10 years. Hobbs can play, he's worth a first round pick
Can’t see bombers taking that schu. He’s contracted. It’s not a Henry situation.
Will be interesting to see the new points system changes. Hopefully they release them soon.

Oh my lordy. Can you imagine the melts if we gave a first round pick for a Bombers player who can't even get a game with them?
It's a very salient point.
Geelong, like us, haven't necessarily had the luxury of giving younger players exposure due to being there and thereabouts most years for the last decade or so, therefore they seek to develop them in the VFL.
Others like Richmond and Hawthorn have operated under a different philosophy where younger players, who are typically higher draft picks, are given greater exposure at an earlier stage of their development.

Poulter genuinely isn’t that good. He is still the same kid running up and down a wing picking up his 15-18 touches. Kicking long and safe… he is a vanilla slice. I don’t get this love for him.

If he asked for the trade, I'd do this deal. I think he's worth 1 pick inside 30 based on current output, I also think he has the potential to become a very good inside mid, that's why we'd want a little extra.
I haven’t paid any attention to him to know his worth. Bombers took him at 13. How much has he devalued? He’s not playing, so if he wants out they’ll have to accept slightly unders. How much is the ?. draft profile likens him to Adam’s so a type we need.
Interest if true stamps macraes papers.
I can see Hobbs becoming the new Schultz next year

Sure, Poulter isn’t a superstar but he’s good enough to play at the top level in a strong side.
I watched him v.closely live at Marvel in the Dogs’ win over the Dees a couple of weeks ago and he was close to 2nd best on ground, behind The Bont. 23 touches, 7 tackles, 6 marks and a goal from outside 50m. Can’t fault those numbers.
Our cupboard ain’t exactly overflowing with talented youngsters - certainly not to the point that we should have DELISTED him after just two seasons. Meanwhile, Fin is about to enter season No.5 with us…..

Unless they replicate Nick Daicos they are at risk of being called a dud by some posters on hereI can see Hobbs becoming the new Schultz next year

Did Hawthorn do they right thing? They have been down the ladder for what 8 years (guess) or so since letting them go and they are in 8th spot so no guarantees of success going forward. Who's to say that Hodge and Mitchell staying at Hawhorn couldn't have pushed them up more quickly.
I just listened to that via our website. You can hear the excitement in his voice
before realising he'd better stop and roll out the "contracted player" line hahaha
With Hobbs... My concern is actually identical to before the draft: I'm worried that he actually hit his peak already.
Has he improved since being drafted? I'm not sure.
Might end up being a slightly heavier Macrae

Don’t think the Hawks are the example we want take here.
They shipped off Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis early to recruit Tom Mitchell, Wingard and O’Meara.
Two of those names aren’t even there anymore and the ones that left is a non contributor.
8 years on and they’ve finally looked liked they’ve recovered from that.
Huh? That’s obtuse, even by your standards, Spinny.
Geelong won the flag and brought in FOUR first round picks/players in the same year’s trade period. That was an incredible outcome for them, wouldn’t you agree?

Not relevant to your bagging of our list and 30+ cohort, while Geel with a similar profile and likely to finish Top 4.
None of those players from those picks are the reason they’ve bounced back.
I’m being completely clear not obtuse - you are writing off our squad as being uncompetitive next year, while ignoring the achievements of Geel this year after horrendous injuries in 2023.
The parallels are obvious.
Lucky, Digressing to trading doesn’t change the obvious parallels.
