I'm guessing you've been reading the big footy rumours board.... I bet you believed 12 Collingwood players were going to be banned yesterday too.If you say so

Truth is, every time an AFL player has taken leave for mental health issues there have been vicious rumours spread about them. Seems to attract idiots.
The bloke has been battling depression and a bad break up with his mrs.
Not necessarily. We're apparently tabling $800k for KellyHannebery and pick 28 for pick 39 and Saints 2019 2nd rounder.
The big difference is Sydney wanted/needed Hannebery's salary off their books and StKilda were willing to take on all of it which got us a discount on him in the trade. Geelong can't afford Steven's full contract so will need StKilda to pay part of it next year which means they will need to offer more on the trade table.
Neither Smith or Abbot have any real trade value though.
Both are only back up rucks and while this is all the Saints need now with Marshall having come out of nowhere, players of equivalent value can be taken from the State Leagues. Saints taking either would be more the Saints helping the Cats out than vice versa.
We only need a ruck who is happy to mainly play at Sandy and to come in if Marshall is injured. Or we go for a younger developing ruck (not a kid).
I agree Abbott and Smith have no real value, but the young players on the cats list that you want you won't get ave the players you can get you won't want. There just isn't really a kid you'd be interested in that the cats are a silly enough to let go. The cats also won't give up a first rounder in this exchange, the only scenario I would imagine it being involved is a first for second swap but you don't have a second.If it was your second rounder then you would expect a young player as well. Not an Abbot or Smith.
Abbot I think is out of contract in 2020? If so we allow you to break his contract by taking him. Allows you to use his contract $$ elsewhere. No other club wants him as he is not a genuine first 22 player, and at 28 now he is not going to become one. But he would serve us as a back up ruck as we do need someone for this role on our list. That would be his value in the deal if he was included. So Cats get him off there list and use the money elsewhere. Saints get slightly more in the trade because of it, but not much.
100% we shouldn't be putting anything serious on the table for any player over 26Not sure why Geelong would consider recruiting another midfielder who is over 30. Already have 3 of them. Last thing they need is another old timer.
It's closer to 1m.Not necessarily. We're apparently tabling $800k for Kelly
We do, but it is a 2020 one.but you don't have a second.

We do, but it is a 2020 one.
A Smith Abbott type would just be steakknives we'd probably trade them for pick 70ish etc.
30Pretty much won us the game.
Second rounder minimum.
He is looking fresh from not playing for pretty much the whole year
