I cant understand why we would just give away pick 63 as well, I just dont get it.
Because Geelong and Carlton know that Billie Smedts and a 4-8 spot downgrade in the draft is not a fair trade for Tuohy who will walk into our starting 18.

It's time for me to leave this thread. We have so many clueless supporters (not you).

For starters there seems to be a mentality that a first round pick and a second round pick are 40 picks apart when in reality it could be closer to 5 or 6.
we'll finish high up the ladder again and the pick wont be anything amazing

Who cares that we threw in pick 63?
Nobody should.

We had no use for it anyway, just as a pick in the 40s this year wouldn't be much use either, just as Kersten isn't much use to us either for our short term goals.

And soon we get to look forward to all our experts knowing the kids in the draft inside out.

Yet again, I really think we should have chased Taberner as part of the deal. Mostly likely Kersten + GHS for Taberner + mid-range Freo pick. We avoid getting ourselves into an unreasonable/messy trade, but simultaneously address the forward depth and structure-related issues. The prospect of an additional inside mid (GHS) playing alongside Fyfe and Bennell might have proven attractive enough for the Dockers to take this.

As for Richmond, no deal if they think 27 is acceptable for Caddy. Beginning to sound like Hawthorn with their incessant, unreasonable demands as the interested buyer this trade period. Need to offer up something acceptable (i.e. #15 for Caddy and maybe a 65+ pick) if they're actually fair dinkum.

So rucks like Witts and Nankervis are in demand if Vardy had of played more this year we could have got something better but he didnt, Medium sized forwards are not in demand is why Kersten I valued at pick 50-65 so we got the low end of that deal as Freo didnt have a pick they wanted to give up, it's not Geelong culture to screw players over at trade time, so why they didnt send Kersten to the draft

guys we are not re-building, we are after a flag.. We don't really need high draft picks, we need to better the team we currently have. Tuohy will fill the void left by Enright.. We payed a lot for him, but we needed him, at least we got rid of some list cloggers....
We've lost Enright, Bartel and Caddy from our best 22 and Kersten who played 17 games and was an emergency for the prelim.

If we're all out for a flag why have we lost 4 of our best 25 and replaced them with one player?

I think people are seeing it as a 'salt to the wound' kinda deal, given 63 was unders for a bloke who kicked 22 goals from 16 games this year (and Witts, Nankervis etc got picks in the 40s).

Geelong have some some reasonable things with picks in the 60s, so it seems wasteful to give it to Carlton in a deal where we're already paying overs.

But Tuohy also isnt worth a 1st rounder let alone a 1st rounder + player + 4th rounder.
