Not if we want to recruit and retain players. Lobb should in no way be on the tableIf we get SDK, I would put Lobb on the table for a decent draft pick. His value is probably as high it’s ever going to be.
He was very very ordinary in the vfl prelim. He is miles off making it.You clearly weren’t watching him around stoppage against the blues, cats and swans. Kid is going to make it. Not as an inside mid but can definitely pinch hit around stoppage.
Isn't the logic for getting SDK instead of draft picks that we want to try and win next year's flag (and the year after) and SDK does more immediately being part of our best 22, rather than the 10+ year gain from a draft pick?If we get SDK, I would put Lobb on the table for a decent draft pick.

Every time they change trading rules, prices go up. Inflation everywhere these daysAs of next year the future pick trading extends out another year. So they'll be asking for 3x 1st rounders.
Easy, SDK will take the man on man role. Which allows Jones and Lobb to be more free with the intercept role. Just means JOD, Buku, Busslinger spend another year developing physically and mentally.SDK would wonder how he gets into our back 6 right now.
I know Jones will be slowing down but he'd still be first choice. Then there is Busslinger, who needs game time as well.
I love Jones, but his form did taper a little towards the end of the season, I'm not sure SDK wouldn't go past him next season.SDK would wonder how he gets into our back 6 right now.

What is SDK's tank like, or JOD for that matter. SDK or JOD may play wing.SDK would wonder how he gets into our back 6 right now.

Isn’t juh on the trade table?Lobb would presumably be swung forward or in the ruck if any of English, Naughton, Darcy or Jamarra is unfit for R1, too. That's any of four players of which only one has to be unfit at a given point in time.
I think it did taper, but I wonder if that was also partly due to playing alongside another solid KDP in Lobb.I love Jones, but his form did taper a little towards the end of the season, I'm not sure SDK wouldn't go past him next season.
That's one element, there's also the fact that any draft pick is a risk. Trading in an established AFL player means you know what you're getting. We'd know pretty well what to expect from him at AFL level but you can never be sure with draftees especially after the top 10-20Isn't the logic for getting SDK instead of draft picks that we want to try and win next year's flag (and the year after) and SDK does more immediately being part of our best 22, rather than the 10+ year gain from a draft pick?
How does trading out Lobb help that? If Lobb played for another team and with his form and we had a second round pick, we'd be wanting to trade that second round pick for Lobb!
Well apparently he’s still mates with everyone blah blahPretty sure it was reported that Baz has been told he is welcome to attend. Doubt he does though
You'd be pretty annoyed if you're buss and signed a new contract only for us to chase another young kpd.SDK would wonder how he gets into our back 6 right now.

SDK on one wing, English on the other. Its time to reinvent the game. When everyone else zigs, we zag. Dogball 2025.What is SDK's tank like, or JOD for that matter. SDK or JOD may play wing.
I don't know, but maybe it's an option. I remember a while ago, we played Geelong and he dominated out forward line. You don't turn down quality if you get the chance.

I hear you but sometimes it’s about just getting the best deal. If there was an available gun young mid we liked who was maybe gettable from Geelong I’m sure we’d be all over it.How would people recommend we address our midfield issues if SDK ends up being involved in a Smith trade?
I'm a big fan of his, I just don't know that it's the best use of our assets.
Why? He will get and earn his opportunityYou'd be pretty annoyed if you're buss and signed a new contract only for us to chase another young kpd.
Don’t even fix a price.Some people just can’t take good advice.
Don’t pay the Perryman !!
We're tying him up with a bit of risk on our end that he's got a guaranteed six years and may not entirley develop as a footballer.No to SDK. Rate him, but we have a lot of assets and coin tied up in our talls already. We have two first round picks that haven't played yet, we need to back them in. Butters, Callaghan etc. are the players we should be targeting, not more talls.
What if it’s the best we can do out of the Smith trade this year? Would you rather SDK or be last day of trade period and Geelong have traded their first for something else? It’s crap I know but it’s the way the current trade environment is.No to SDK. Rate him, but we have a lot of assets and coin tied up in our talls already.
