Past Zach Tuohy

[JustaBattler]

Will probably be...

Tuohy and 20

For

Smedts and 15

But this seems better...

Tuohy and 20

For

Smedts Marchbank Pickett and Corr/Kennedy

We can't really judge until all trades are completed - which is what your post points to.

 

[Faz 2000]

Not sure what Tuohy brings.

Solid, but not amazing mid-sized defender who has good run and a great right boot. Given how slow Cats' backline looked in the finals, Tuohy will fit in and help. You'll have to de-Carlton him of course.

 

[Arr0w]

What makes people think that it will be OUR 2017 2nd rounder?

 

[Cripps17]

Don't like it but then I also didn't like the Menzel trade. We'll see.

 

[Jamie007]

The only good game smedts ever had was against us where he tagged murphy and kicked 3 goals on him. Maybe that's why we took him so he can never tag Murphy again.

Have to get Murphy on the park for once...

Ahh, because that's what the rules stipulate.

 

[AlecDuncan]

It's shit like this that makes me think we're run by morons.

 

[Smegger]

So disappointed with this trade. Smedts never gets a game Geelong won this trade by a mile

Considering Tuohy could have walked to the PSD it's not bad. Hopefully Smedts can get a good run with injuries and show something.

Deal done..Now let's on trade the pick from Cats to GWS for Marchbank etc.
We don't need Adelaide's 13 anymore..

 

[Malifice]

I expect a bottom 3 finish for us, and a finish of around 4th for the Cats.

Should be a FA compo pick at the end of the 2nd round and maybe an academy bid matched in there as well.

Ball park it turns it into a 9 pick upgrade from (say) 23 to 14.

I'd do [Tuohy and 23] for [Smedts and 14].

 

[thylacine60]

What pick from the Cats?

a bit of insurance ...

 

[passmark]

Looks like opinion divided on both Carlton and Cats boards.

Probably a bit unders but you gotta keep moving forward.

Churn and burn SOS, churn and burn.

 

[Arr0w]

Ahh, because that's what the rules stipulate.

We can move that pick to whoever we want, as we did in the Henderson deal last year?

 

[teknodeejay]

I'm going to take this as Tuohy for Geelong's 2017 1st round pick, because Billy Smedts is just wtf.

 

[SandgroperBlue]

Hopefully he gets on the park and we get a bit of this- a bit of optimism never hurt:

 

[thylacine60]

Fmd...anyone got Smedts draft history?

 

[TerryWallet]

Just like last year, SOS is clearly treating this as a Trading Period, not a group of Individual Trades.

Hence waiting til late to see how everything ties up, before doing anything individually.

Judge the Trading Period Result tomorrow at 2PM.

 

[Zlatan]

It's shit like this that makes me think we're run by morons.

What were you expecting in return for a player we didn't want and is out of contract?

I'm perplexed at the people calling this a bad trade.

Maybe Tuohy for a pick in the 40's is what you were looking for?

 

[Faz 2000]

He was injured, then drafted 15th overall, then injured, injured, kicked 3 on Murph, injured, injured, and traded to the Blues. Then he was injured before being delisted.

 

[SandgroperBlue]

Fmd...anyone got Smedts draft history?

Taken at 15

 

[Blue__Balls]

A lot of people getting real upset by this.

Relax.

Tuohy was a good player for us, but he's not a star, isn't irreplaceable, and was out of contract and set on Geelong.

Geelong went out of their way to get permission to trade next year's first, and passing that along to us will no doubt be a key element in getting our trade for Marchbank and Pickett done.

Don't judge our activity here on a single trade, just sit back and wait til 2pm tomorrow to see how things have finished up.
