Cats only offering pick 17 for Bailey Smith

Dogs not biting (pardon the pun)

A threat of Bailey walking to them for free is there and I could see Smith treating his old club like dirt

Hopefully the Cats have to give up more than pick 17

Can’t wait to read the media fawning over the Cats recruiting brilliance when they pull this off. Dogs likely want their F1 as well which apparently we’re getting for Oliver. 🤦‍♂️

can't see Smith going for free. He would need to bypass fourteen odd clubs. Only one needs to bite. It would make for an interesting watch though.

It will happen one day.

Didn’t it already happen once with Luke ball? He went  from saints to pies who then went on to win the flag v saints.

Nope, unfortunately. Nobody blinked and he went to his preferred club without the Saints getting anything in return.

Hopefully the Saints this time look to get some back.

Who do they want and is it the same player as us? I'd really hate to do all this trading and then watch Carlton trump us after watching Houston go to Collingwood.

Given we traded up for 9 rather than 5 I don't think it's all that relevant for us. There were links to Carlton and O'Sullivan

The thing that worries me with these so called super drafts is in reality they only become super drafts 3-5 years down the track. There's been plenty of busts picked at 9. Whilst I trust JT to get them right we can ill afford to not nail the picks we get. There's no doubt 2, perhaps 3 standouts in the top 10 this year and I don't want Carlton taking the guy we're chasing. Twomey thinks we may try to trade our picks again, it's going to be interesting viewing that's for sure.

I think it makes sense for WC. They have lots of holes to fill. Local boy Bo Allen is predicted to go around 12.

Carlton just got pick 3 for 12, 14 and Matt Owies. WC then gives 14 for Liam Baker. That is horrendous business from Wet Toast. All of it. 

Disagree. There's no guarantee that pick 3 ends up being better than 12, and Baker and Owies are good acquisitions.

Tiges wouldn't do that. They want as many 1st round picks as possible.

Houston to Carlton for pick 3 and a future first now I guess

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
