I'm imagining Bailey Smith getting a week in the VFL because our midfield and now forward line are pretty stacked. He'd be racking up 40+.
There's no world where he isn't best 22.

There is no change to the players on our rookie list. Apparently Khamis has been made a Cat B rookie for 2020. The other 4 are Cat A rookies.Now that the draft is over, can someone please explain who will be on the rookie list and how many players are actually going to be on it? (sorry if someone has gone through this a few pages back.)
I wouldn't play him forward at VFL level let alone AFL level.Isn't Gardner more of a key back than forward?
Pretty sure we swapped our 2020 4th for Hawthorn's 2020 5th rounder.Am I correct in assuming that we gave up next year's 4th round pick to Hawthorn to move 3 places up in this year's draft to select Garcia? If I'm incorrect could somebody clarify?
Itd be good for smith to develop in the VFL.
Work on some deficiencies.
According to today's AFL article (link provided), we got nothing in return. If this is so, the exercise in giving up any future pick to move up 3 places seems odd unless one of the two eligible clubs in front of our 5th round pick (Ess and StKil) were known to be interested in him.Pretty sure we swapped our 2020 4th for Hawthorn's 2020 5th rounder.
Could have sworn the graphic on screen after the trade said we traded fourth rounders next year as well as traded up this year.According to today's AFL article (link provided), we got nothing in return.

I actually reckon Smith will kick 20+ goals next yearBailey Smith will be in our top 5-10 players by next year blokes a freak. Hes our fourth best mid after Bont, Macrae and Dunks. Libba and Wallis are the ones who will be playing 2s over Baz
I'd like to see Smith get an extended run on a wing. With a full preseason, he'll have the tank to run all day and with a little time and space, his run, carry and ball use can be seriously damaging.I actually reckon Smith will kick 20+ goals next year
Might float forward a bit and be a mismatch for defenders

I seriously can't decide where I want to see Smith. I agree that he could be damaging up forward, while also thinking he has the skillset to be a very good winger. At the same time, I think his work in congestion is elite for his age, and he could really evolve into basically Dangerfield with a better kick, so I'm quite keen to see him played as an inside mid predominantly.I'd like to see Smith get an extended run on a wing.

Fair enough (assuming the article is accurate). I think I heard it via the feed or a post on draft night. In any case a 5th round pick is worth almost nothing.According to today's AFL article (link provided), we got nothing in return.

Happy birthday to the no 1 contested mark in the competition for yesterday - Naughton turned 20.
Yeah straight swap. As I read it, in the context of bidding next year - as it currently stands, worst case (we finish last) we've given up pick 58/194 points, best case (premiers) pick 73/9 points.Am I correct in assuming that we gave up next year's 4th round pick to Hawthorn to move 3 places up in this year's draft to select Garcia?

Bailey smith in the vfl? What on earth am I reading?

Yeah it was an indirect 'cost' of the trade but I left that off because it's not relevant to any bid next year for JUH.When looking at it from a draft points perspective we should also count our fourth this year that we didn’t use as a result of the trade.
I think this is the way to go for next year. We have a bit of a hole at the wing opposite Hunter with a mixture of players rolling through there each week.I'd like to see Smith get an extended run on a wing. With a full preseason, he'll have the tank to run all day and with a little time and space, his run, carry and ball use can be seriously damaging.
