I think he initiated the move for reasons mentioned elsewhere.

A more pressing requirement in order for us to make a decent jump up the ladder next year would be a high quality small forward similar to Devon Smith. I think the Pies are the worst team in the comp when it comes to locking the ball inside our f50. We need to fix this ASAP.
With Grundy and Cox likely rotating through FF will allow Reid to go back to CHB. Lever not required.
I'd like us to take Jarrod Brander at the draft with pick 6 as a future replacement of Reid and try to manufacture trades of our non-essential players to facilitate the Devon Smith trade. Possibly Fasolo? IMO Fasolo and Elliott play a similar role, we instead need a front and centre player with good leg speed and high tackling pressure. Smith was a late first round pick for GWS and is not currently in their best 22 so an early to mid second round pick would likely get it done.
As another poster pointed out apparently Smith is also seeking some midfield time which we could accommodate, however bulk of his game time would be forward. |
Kidding right? No 1 has to be one KPP minimum preferably one each end. Useless getting the ball there if we can't hold it there,

Priority 6 - Hodge. A Hail Mary. I know he has retired, but a play-then-coach contract for Hodge would suit nicely providing a backline general for 1-2 years and bringing Hawthorn IP and leadership across. |
Well done Bears.

Smith would be a good pick up. What would it cost us to get him? |

Will depend a bit on actual demand for him. CAR are said to be interested, but may have other priorities. GWS are keen to get high picks in this draft apparently.
I would be expecting things to land with a net result of about a late first or early second this year or maybe an (expected) mid to late second next year. BUT I'm just a mug on Nick's!

I'm hearing some interesting comments from industry people about the 2018 draft. Some are saying it could be the best ever for talls. This also includes a host of very good GWS academy kids. I'm being told GWS will be very interested in trading for a couple 2018 early draft picks too.
I have already expressed my man crush for Smith as a structural solution to some of our forward pressure issues. I'm also hearing that there are as many as four Melb based clubs who are into him. |

If GWS are keen to get 2018 picks, can we trade our 2018 second round pick? I don't think so?
First round pick is probably too much for Smith unless we think we're going to win the premiership next year. If GWS are bullish about next year could we do a swap of 2018 draft picks for Smith? (Leaving open the option of course that we actually do better than GWS next year and they give us Smith and pick (for argument sake 10) for pick 12 
Probably not....

Relevant restriction is that you can only trade future first or future (all or some of) others, not both. So 2018 second can be traded unless we trade 2018 first.

Can't see them securing these blokes as well as Kennedy from GWS for a pittance. Who do they think they are - Geelong?
