Traded Zach Tuohy [traded to Geelong with 2017 2nd rd pk for Smedts, 2017 1st rd pk and pick 63]

[Jeff76]

Funnily enough you turn up trolling carlton; what a surprise!

So we got marchbank and Pickett with 15. Who did Geelong get with pick 20 again?

Oh. In the spirit of your trolling...carn GWS!!

You tell us who we got (or who we get) with pick 20.

You tell us who we got (or who we get) with pick 20.

Why ask me? The Carlton hating Richmond troll was the one who said you won easily because you got Tuohy and this years pick 20. How the f*#ck would he know how good pick 20 will be? Plenty of busts at pick 20...

 

[Warhorse]

I could know that because I watched Zac play a lot of footy for the CFC. In many of our clutch games he got found out. You must remember we don't play in front of 35k bias fans at kardinia park..we play in front of 70k-80k at the MCG v Collingwood Richmond Essendon. They are big games.

In his three finals for Carlton Zac was underwhelming. In two of your three finals this year he was horrible. The only one he played ok in was a game you dominated, with very little finals pressure.

To me he is a good home and away player but cannot adjust to the increased tempo of finals footy. That's an observation after watching him for 7 years and seeing all of his finals. I made this observation whilst he played for Carlton and didn't perform in finals.

So in answer to your question; he played in countless 'big games' and three finals for Carlton. His decision making and kicking become shaky and his opponent generally beats him in one on ones.

Truth

Pick 20 May just end up getting Geelong Jake Stringer which makes the Deal

Pick 15 + Billie Smedts for Zac Tuohy & Jake Stringer

The clutchest moment of his career was in a tight final against WCE. Just sayin'.

Stringer or Devon Smith I would've thought. Would be a decent result.

Just to clear things up; we traded last years pick 15 for marchbank & Pickett.

So it's Smedts, marchbank & Pickett for Tuohy and maybe smith/stringer/pick 20.

As I've said previously in this thread...the trade is a win/win.

I am responding to the ignorant post from the Richmond troll (Rich01) that Geelong easily won this trade.

Lol.

If you're going down that path, make sure you remember to include Marchbank, Pickett, Macreadie, Williamson and Kerr.

For us they're not relevant to the deal.

Just as Stringer isn't relevant to our deal.

No it is Marchbank (19) + Pickett (21) + Smedts (24) for Tuohy (26) + Pick 20

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Just as Stringer isn't relevant to our deal.

Who said it was? It’s clear (if we’re able to turn 20 into Stringer) that both clubs walk away happy.

 

[Warhorse]

I would much rather marchbank and pickett than touhy. Still a win win trade

I agree. The inference from the post I quoted, and a previous post from a Cats supporter, was that if they can turn pick 20 into Stringer that it is more of a win for them and then brushed off other players that Carlton were able to get as a direct result of that deal.
Both deals need to be looked at in their entirety and both clubs can comfortably claim to have had a win. If both clubs can claim to have won the trade, then it doesn't really matter who had 'more' of a win, as it's just semantics.

Smedts isnt a bad player at all - he tackles hard and has excellent skills and runs all day. Got some continuity this year hopefully a big pre season he can go up another level I am thinking he will get plenty of games in 2018.

Ah no...even as a Carlton supporter its obvious he is a list clogger. Barring a Liam Jones-esque miracle Smedts wont be any more than a handy type for the Northern Blues in 2018.

Smedts ' Big pre season and go upto another level !!

He will be 26 next year after 8 years you think it might be about time he had a 'Big pre season ?

list Clogger same as Lamb & Kerridge

Tried to give him games and he was terrible. Skills are not that good. So hopefully you can do something with him, god know we tried.

That's harsh on Lamb and Kerridge. Lamb is a handy defensive forward known to get under the skin of snowflakes like Sicily and Basher Houli, and Kerridge is the type of VFL gap filler that can be found in plenty of sides.

Smedts, on the other hand, is useless.

Nah Billie's level is the VFL

Because it proves Geelong Msxe out like bandits in this trade

I'm not so sure they did. Until I see him perform under immense pressure I won't be entirely convinced.

 

[gandaal]

Very good question. Both sides are happy with the trade 12 months later. Close thread.
