Wow...this ended up being quite amusing. We gave a bit extra, but literally the minimum we could give.

So the breakdown is this:

OUT:

Geelong - Pick 17, Pick 38
Carlton - Matt Kennedy
Western Bulldogs - Jack Macrae
St Kilda - Pick 45

IN:

Geelong - Bailey Smith, Pick 45
Carlton - Pick 38
Western Bulldogs - Pick 17, Pick 38
St Kilda - Jack Macrae

Now what makes this utterly hilarious, is that between 38 and 45, FIVE of those picks are bid matches for Kako, Ashcroft/Marshall, Lombard

So in essence, we've swapped Pick 38 for Pick 40. Deal ends up being: Bailey Smith and Pick 40, for Pick 17 and 38.

Incred.
out western bulldogs Bailey smith
and you got 2 pick 38's

Funny looking 2 x 1st Rounders 🤪

Even funnier looking top 10 pick

Though I guess they can always try some maths and manipulate to look like:
  • 17 is comprised of 1 & 7
  • if you add them together you get, 1 + 7 = 8
 
So. …38 slides down 45 … better than what I called earlier.

Good deal.

If we decide to trade in with a future then all is available.
I'd definitely be trading into this draft with our future first if we can find a good deal.
 
The crazy thing is how most of the Doggies people thought the majority of the Geelong board were being greedy with Smith.

But plenty of people here were saying #17 + F2.

In the end… we landed Smith for much less. Basically just #17.

Geelong board looking extremely reasonable… I’d go as far to say a bit soft and generous.

Lucky Mackie goes hard.
 
Doggies fans already turning on Sam Power. Glorious.

In defence of Power, we all knew this was going to be the deal (or something thereabouts).

The Dogs idiots who thought it was going to be SDK, Close, a pick in the top 10, or two firsts have only got themselves to blame.

Direct your anger at yourselves, not the posturing list manager just riding the contrived trade period wave.

I know he said the whole "we want a top 10 pick" thing, but it was no different to us asking for pick 8 for Clark.

Shoot for the stars, work from there. If you believe him, or convince yourself you're getting more, then you're a moron.
 
Has anyone got a view on number of bids before our first pick? I know it's only two live picks between the one we gave up and the one we got back but are there enough evaporating picks before ours that we actually select a name at 38 pr earlier?

Calling them idiots is a bit harsh, Power said what he had to say

I know why they wanted a top 10, because most of them cant count past 10 and would be utterly confused by anything higher
 
WE WANT TWO FIRST ROUNDERS MACKIE!! DO YOU HEAR ME!!

Mackie” no, take 17”

“We WANT A TOP TEN PICK!!”

mackie: “ no, take 17”

“WE WANT WAY MORE!! HE IS MARKETABLE!!”

mackie “ no, here is 17”

“WE WANT YOUR FIRST ROUNDER AND SDK or A TOP TEN PICK!! WE ARE SICK OF BEING WALKED OVER!!”

mackie looks down at his wrist watch and sighs….“. Here is pick 17 and we will slide our pick 38 for your 45”

“DEAL!!”
He's done very well.

Reminds me of the sort of people alive out there who click on and buy pills promising to increase the size of your Frankfurt. Everyone else just laughs you ever believed it once the order comes in and it’s a pack of salt

Not all of them, been some very reasonable types visit our board for sure, and there's some good types over their way too.

The unhinged one wishing harm on Smith, Mackie, etc and then clinging to the idea of getting this ridiculous haul though, I stand by what I said.

It's just footy, it's never that serious.

Your wish is my command :)

27, 28, 31, 34, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, will all get soaked up. Ashcroft, Lombard, Kako, Marshall will all get bids. Our first pick will be...drumroll please...

Pick 40.
