Mentioned by a couple of posters here.

Thoughts?

would rather rory laird

[Adam The God 30,706]

If he comes cheaply, he'd be handy. Pushes Isaac Smith to the wing and Brodie off half back.

[Engorged Onion 10,224]

I don’t know enough about Brodie Smith, but if he is a walk up start to a half back role, then are we assuming either Salem and/or Rivers are likely to have different roles in 2021 further up the ground (ie: delivering into the f50)

Yes, at his best he's a great user of the footy...

Hasn't been as potent after the knee.

What is Brodie Smith worth as a trade to Adelaide? Does anyone have a sense as to his realistic value? How do people see us potentially able to get Brodie, Brown and use a future pick plus players for GWS 1st round compensation pick?

With this years 2nd round pick looking likely to secure Brown, we'd certainly have to get creative to facilitate a trade. I don't think he's worth a 1st round pick, certainly not GWS' compensation pick which will be around pick 9 (if that even eventuates in a trade for Preuss). If what people have said is true, we're looking at taking a pick like that to the draft for Finlay Macrae. Maybe next years 2nd pick gets it done or even next year's first with extras coming back could get it done?

Smith is 29 next year. Couldn't be worth more than a 3rd rounder for a club that is rebuilding. Tmac might get us this pick needed. ANB might be used here also. 

Brown for pick 23

GWS will have a number of picks around that 9-15 mark after Williams, Cameron and Caldwell all get traded. I can see us packaging up a few picks (not necessarily next years 1st as I think this is overs) with Preuss and maybe another player (VDB maybe) to get one of these picks. 

[roy11 4,058]

Would ANB would be bundled in this trade?

[Dr evil 1,185]

Not expecting a huge cost. but his best is very good, backing him to get back to his best. 

he adds some dash to our half back line which we do need. Hibberd hasn't provided quite as much as he did at his best.

I think this is the key barrier to some movement happening this off season, our lack of trade currency. If we can find suitors for the likes of the McDonalds, that'll enable us to get some of these deals done, otherwise it'll be an interesting time.

If you like long kicks you'll like this bloke. A rich man's Paul Seedsman.

Why is Smith not to play on wing ?'

Has never played half back even remotely Ruth Hawks!

I like Salem Up forward and Riv  will Play HB mostly with an occasional trip up the ground perhaps when required.

 

[spirit of norm smith 16,677]

Yes at 29 he may not want to go through the Crows rebuild. We might tempt him with a 3 year deal and a chance to be part of the finals action. I’d happily swap him directly for Tmcd and throw in the future 4th round pick that was the vogue in 2019 swaps. 

[Nascent 9,345]

Is he under contract?

Until 2021.

[Dr.D 1,771]

we dont need a new thread for every single player. there has been nothing connecting Smith even leaving, let alone leaing for Melbourne.

Dr evil mentioned him in the "you've got mail" thread. Check it out page 8.

And we definitely don't need a post from you in every new player thread telling us what we need.

[Fat Tony 5,337]

Brodie Smith is a good player, who was on my list of players we should target. I would not offer a long contract though. 2 years max.

[Whispering_Jack 31,364]

At this rate we are going to break an AFL record for the number of Smiths on a playing list. Norm must be up there in heaven beaming at the prospect. 

[Demonstone 23,549]

Get Frawley back and we could have Smiths Chip.  

[spirit of norm smith 16,677]

It’s worth at least 4 page thread without even a meaningful sign that he leaves the Crows !!!
