I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader


Also,

So our first pick at 45... would i be correct it might be a few picks earlier, with fs anc ac picks will get used up?

Yeah will end up at around 40 or so

 

[Hinkley29]

Any details on the contract we have given Bailey? Until we know those details we should hold off on the high fives.

 

[Play it Sam]

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.

Absolutely knew (and said) Mack had them over a barrel and was not going anywhere near Futures.
Academy awards for all involved, and free tyres for a year.
At least it gave us 45 pages here of supposition and occasional argument.
And Miss Kitty's boy now too..... since she was the first to change her avatar (prematurely but wisely).

Rookie spot remaining for MSD

Besides the first 2, and maybe Bourke and Blakiston, absolute shot in the dark and won't even get close - but fun to guess!

BUT WE HAVE SMITH! Huzzah!

Mackie smoked Power so bad I wouldn’t be surprised if the Doggies are chipping in for a bit of it.

I mean… it would only be fair after we slid back from 38 to 40 for them (after bids).

 

[ShadowCat]

Knowing how we tend to approach the later stages of the draft, and the fact it’s only 2 spots back in reality… I’ll bet any money that we end up taking the same player we would’ve anyway.

Which means it really was just pick 17.

Exactly. But some semblance of good will for Power to save face. Exactly like the Ratugolea and Clark trades...as I told the small sub-section of unhinged Doggies supporters like (MAD) Doggy, Pencil Dick, and threenewessays

Sounds awesome, how confident do you reckon?

Trading the future first lends to the idea that we want a free agent for 'free' next year per se - while also rating a kid - so that checks out.

Edit: NVM, just read it's a shot in the dark!!

Who cares, it's fun to speculate. I suspect we'll trade back in regardless.

 

[ShadowCat]

This is what I found from a week ago:

Milltown-Castlemaine's Cillian Burke edging closer to AFL move

Meanwhile, Mickey Graham has stepped down as Leitrim football manager just two months after being recommended for the role

He does a mean Thomas Shelby impression.

There's been a fair bit of talk about Richmond trying to move some of their picks from this year into next to spread them out. Plus it might not be good list management to have 8 players all come out of contract at the same time. So there might be something in trying to extract a first rounder out of Richmond this year for our future 1st next.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Why did the Bulldogs want Kennedy?

They wanted cheap depth as macrae and Daniel were on bloated $ they clearly want to clear cap to help retain Richards etc. Kennedy gives them decent depth for much less $.

The bigger question is why would Kennedy want to go where he might not get a game but family wise he didn't want to leave Melbourne so I suppose that narrowed his options.

 

[ShadowCat]

Sounds awesome,

About 1%

Knowing Wellsy, he'll make me look like an absolute fool. I definitely think with all our spare list spots though, that we'll be trading back in.

I wouldn't in a million years trade our future 1st this year.

Our late picks will come in a bit with bids which helps.
Jacques I like a lot although I wouldn't be surprised if either 45 or 57 is Jack Henderson, I think we will need to take him before the rookie draft if we want him-another club may go early.

 

[cats_09]

Any details on the contract we have given Bailey? Until we know those details we should hold off on the high fives.

It may take a few days to confirm or hear of contract details for Smith, but surely adding someone of his calibre for what's essential a single first round pick is a win

 

[Footy Smarts]

I wouldn't in a million years trade our future 1st this year.

I reckon not trading any futures was to at least leave open the option of trading our future first into this draft.

 

[00VicWard001]

Mackie takes the poker no blinking thing seriously don’t he?

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Kitty now that you got your dreamboat Bailey to the club keep your hands where we can see them

You’re blaming ME?

Humph!!!

Bailey needs to keep his hands off me + get to the back of the queue

 

[Lana]

Mackie takes the poker no blinking thing seriously don’t he?

He doesn't know what to do with his hands

Why wouldn’t you trade our FF?

[Stan The Caddy]

Unhinged, unfit to lead, and a danger to the peace and stability of the civilised world?

Yep, lets definitely go with Harris... Lol

 

[ShadowCat]

I think I’ve maintained all along at the end of the day, we all know Bailey is worth more than the 17 that was traded but it’d be foolish of Geelong to offer anymore considering the very small risk involved with getting him at that pick in the draft, you don’t win premierships with pleasantries so expecting anymore was foolish.

Trading Smith and Macrae for Kennedy and pick 17, then fleecing North for pick 25 for Caleb Daniel all the while saving 1.6m in salary cap space is probably a good result in the end.

It’s been very pleasant in this thread over the last few weeks. Thanks for all the welcoming chats and wish you all a happy off season!
