I think you are underselling it a fair bit. Selwood has had injury issues but he is best 22 for a lot of teams out there.
Henderson is a great fit for the role they see him playing and fits very nicely in that team.
Smith is a very good ruckman cut down by injuries. He will be great for them if he stays fit. Best ruckman they had since Ottens and Mumford days. You would have said the same thing about Jacobs when we got him from Carlton.
They identified the players brilliantly and all 4 are in their best 22 easily. The trick is to identify assets that are not getting a chance and/or are undervalued at their current team but improve your team significantly. We did a similar thing with Hampton. Geelong is just doing it at a much greater scale.

Talk of 3rd rounder and Matt Wright for Hampton.
START THE CAR !!!!
START THE CAR !!!!
I don't think the club will be banking on that......
Give me the paperwork
Where's this?! What a coup that would be haha
Only if the 2nd rounder they burn is before ours in the draft order. GWS have a 2nd round pick ahead of us. Sydney are after us, so their 2nd round pick disappearing has no impact on us whatsoever - we'll be finished with our "live" selections before that pick anyway.

For mine it depends where they intend to play Henderson. Also, Selwood won't make their midfield of Duncan, Guthrie, Jelwood, Motlop, Dangerfield and Caddy.

Just came up on my facebook, probably unreliable.
Seriously, or trolling?

No evidence thus far to support your theory

Brisbane & GWS b4 us .....how many academy players do each want .....ok so maybe advance 2 spots
Damn, haha
I don't think so
Yes Selwood has injuries this year however IMO if he stayed at the Eagles would have struggled for opportunities to push into the Eagles midfield that will get stronger again through this trade period
Zac Smith, another player with injury concerns and another player who choses to change clubs opposed to winning back the number 1 ruck role.... To me this is always a test of character
Henderson, ill be honest i have never rated..... I think he is solid and will play a role however nowhere near the asking price
Yes Geelong are bringing in some names however I am far from convinced on this trio
I'll fly over to Adelaide and chauffeur Wright to the airport with a bevy of beauties if that's the case!
They are having a crack behind closed doors trust me, only problem is convincing players to come, that is the main problem at the moment for whatever reasonLook i understand the romanticism of getting potentially two top 10 picks and secure some excellent talent ......but they're 3 years away from producing anything like top shelf footy
How about the fact we finished 6th this year ...have lost Dangerfield ...and instead of recruiting for now, we look like recruiting for the future .....when does now become now!
Contrast Geelong .....they've recruited last two years juniors & now have gone readymade players .....and may i say, not depth players
If we don't pickup at least one other ready-made good player + Hampton in this trade period, we'll fall back out of the 8 and bugger me Geelong will overtake us .....and that combined with Dangerfield will give me the irits.
I can see it .....why aren't the the recruiters seeing it .....add a Treloar, or Parker + Hampton and Anderson & we are in contention
Go on our current path and again we're in middleland where mediocrity thrives
That is my daily rant
If our pick gets moved up the order because of a club needing to use multiple picks to match a bid, does the value (In points) for the pick goes up as well? I'm assuming that it would.
Forget about this as doesn't change the talent pool, if mills is bidded for at pick 3 he's rated the 3rd best player and we still get the 9th rated player by the league at pick 9
There is no moving up, the only people moving up are the swans in this scenario

We don't have a 3rd rounder (this year).
I know Wright draws some flak here, but that's a good deal for the Giants. Underrates Wright.

Honestly common sense says that the club would plan for both scenarios:
1. A fit Brad Crouch
2. A injured Brad Crouch
With this in mind the club would have full Intel on Brad's type of injury, the risks and given his recovery to date the likelihood in getting a good season out of Brad after a long spell in rehab.
To think that the club would.blindly pencil 22 games out of Brad next year without contingency planning that just would not happen.
Do you think the Demons are putting all their planning around Jack Trengrove next year, simple answer is no....

The leader of the bunch.
Good work GWS. They've been after Matty Wright for years...
We'll even throw in a free Phil Harper just to sweeten the deal.
Wright is s**t. lol
175cm, no pace no elite skills, no nothing.
The main reason he made it into the AFL system was through hard work and a Rookie list contract, good on him.
But he's not up to the level to be honest, neither is VB or MacKay.
He played 16 games this year predominantly in the forward line and came up with the meagre tally of 6 goals 4 Behinds for the year.
Ummm..yeah sorry Wright, you are the weakest link...GOODBYE!

How would you feel about these trades:
Kerridge and 28 for 20
32 for Hampton
2016 2nd for Anderson and Hawthorn's 3rd this year
I'm not that keen on getting Michael Talia, I think I would prefer Hartley, and we could use hawthorn's 3rd to get him.
This would mean the changes so far to the senior list would be:
In: Hampton, Anderson, Gore, O'Brien and Kelley, with picks 9, 13, 20 and 57? to use on Hartley or Talia.
Out: Podsiadly, Reilly, Martin, Siggins, Kerridge, and dangerfield.
So that makes 9 in and only 6 out, I would delist Wright, and Shaw and re-draft Shaw as a rookie. But that still leaves us with one too many, possibly trade Lyons or Grigg for a future pick?
