Past Zach Tuohy

[La Dispute]

I reckon this means Gibbs is staying.

We on-trade that first rounder to GWS for Marchbank and Pickett and then do a deal for Hrovat.

 

[Zlatan]

Well I guess Billie as steak knives to a first rounder isn't so bad.

Big, big win getting a first rounder for Tuohy. Yesterday we were talking about a pick in the 30's or 40's. Smedts for the VFL team is fine too.

 

[Faz 2000]

Smedts and future first for Tuohy and future second

Assuming Smedts is a total anchor who never plays again, this is Tuohy for a pick bump next year of probably 4-8 places? Eg. Pick 19-22 for pick 14-18?

 

[Athomas]

Damn. Similar to the Crows first for our 2nd, it will likely be a 1-10 pick upgrade.

Expecting we are going to trade it out again... Otherwise can cheer for Cats to fall...

 

[BobP]

Good move, Smedts in, which is depth I suppose, and we move up in the draft order for next season.

 

[Anzac16]

Hopefully their first is the pick we use for Marchbank + Pickett.

 

[JustaBattler]

Talk of trading for Fyfe reminds me of an ex-alcoholic saying they might just have a little shandy.

The Club made clear last year that we were going to rebuild from the ground up. No short cuts. Getting in Fyfe for high value draft picks (and losing Gibbs) would be an abandonment of our slowly, slowly rebuild policy. Fyfe would be coming into a side no way near ready to be top 4. We don't have a forward line. Our tall backs still need years to settle. Our wings and half-forwards are anonymous. We would be a joke.

Poor minds and desp[erados use analogy and metap[hor toi bolster up weak thinking....

We have lost Gibbs and we have the currency and a tiny chance to replace him with someone many times better - otherwise dont expect a draftee to step in and provide meaningful support for Cripps who has had to play a lone hand far too often in the clinches old chap.

 

[ShanDog]

I miss Tuohy

 

[Faz 2000]

Is there any chance of Smedts being recovered into anything at all? He seems a complete no-hoper. Which net means we're giving up Tuohy for sod all.

 

[KohPhi]

Smedts and future first for Tuohy and future second

Assuming Smedts is a total anchor who never plays again, this is Tuohy for a pick bump next year of probably 4-8 places? Eg. Pick 19-22 for pick 14-18?

Id reckon we will on trade this pick to GWS for Marchbank et al. So Smedts,Marchbank, Pickett and maybe 1 other for Touhy and next years 2nd round pick...

Im happy with that.

 

[dazdoggy]

So disappointed with this trade. Smedts never gets a game Geelong won this trade by a mile

 

[La Dispute]

I can see all of Sydney, GWS, Bulldogs, Adelaide, Melbourne and St Kilda finishing ahead of Geelong. It'll be a watershed year with them losing Enright and Bartel.

Perhaps we hang on to the 1st rounder?

 

[FootyGeek]

2nd to 1st round upgrades are valuable. That is a good deal for the Blues.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Assuming we on-trade the Geelong pick to GWS, this deal probably ends up being Tuohy and a future second rounder for Marchbank, Pickett, Smedts and hopefully another GWS boy (Kennedy would be ideal).

I'm fairly happy with that.

 

[kingkingston]

You rate him a bit Kingy? Not being facetious, genuinely interested as I know nothing about him save for some of the less than complementary posts around here.

i think he is a solid footballer that the Cats only really played on flanks and i think he could progress in to a solid midfielder. He turns 25 half way through next year, so he is coming in to his prime. Former first round pick and i think Bolts will give him a chance to prove his worth more consistently than he got at Geelong.

 

[Big Sim is Back]

Should have got 38 or 42 back there.

that is a poor deal unless that first rounder hits a jackpot.

 

[La Dispute]

So disappointed with this trade. Smedts never gets a game Geelong won this trade by a mile

They were always going to get a good deal given Touhy was uncontracted and nominated them. We've done well to make it as even as possible and extract some depth to go along with it.

 

[Wheels On Meals]

Only good thing to come out of this deal is Adelaide won't be getting our 2017 second round pick.

 

[ferrisb]

I miss Tuohy

Yep, one player that always had a craic...

 

[The Grover]

That's a rubbish deal, there 1st rounder and our 2nd rounder could be within 5 spots.
Have I missed something?

 

[I AM CARLTON]

Really happy with that deal. Tuohy wanted to leave and will be 28 at start of next season and now we have another first round pick to help with the rebuild.

#letsdothis

 

[T2B_]

Now we need a new expert 60m bomb goaler

 

[TheHunterCripps]

Geelong win, but Zac uncontracted, so a little hamstrung.

Still, it will allow us to on trade to GWS.

So in effect: Zac Tuohy + Early Second Rounder for Marchbank, Pickett & Smedts

Keep #5.

No rush on Gibbs.

 

[Jamie007]

That's a crap deal.

You guys do realise Geelongs 1st rounder next year most likely will be pick 17 or 18 and our second round pick going back will most likely be pick 19 or 20. Into the bargain we get another list clogger.
The only way this deal suits is if we on trade it to gws for the Marchbank deal.
For 2e we should have sent back our 3rd rounder not our second and left smedts for someone else.

 

[Blue By Blood]

On face value it looks like Geelong win that trade, but like with most of the deals SOS does, you have to look at the end game.

Will end up being Tuohy & 2017 2nd for Smedts, Marchbank, Pickett + possible extra.
