On a hectic deadline day which saw numerous players and draft picks change hands, Geelong secured the services of Bailey Smith in an exciting four club exchange in the final minutes of the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.
Along with Smith's arrival, the Cats draft haul also changed ahead of the Telstra AFL Draft late in November.
As part of Wednesday's four club deal, Geelong gave pick 17 (first round selection) to the Western Bulldogs and pick 38 (second round selection) to Carlton.
In return the Club received pick 45 along with Smith, leaving them with three selections heading into the Telstra AFL Draft.
The Four Club Deadline Day Trade
Geelong Receive | Bailey Smith & Pick 45 |
Western Bulldogs Receive | Matt Kennedy & Pick 17 |
St Kilda Receive | Jack Macrae |
Carlton Receive | Pick 38 |
As it currently stands, Geelong have picks 45 and 57 (both in the third round) along with pick 75 (fourth round).
The Telstra AFL Draft will be held on November 20-21, widely tipped to be a strong and deep draft class.
Draft picks can still change hands in trades between October 17 and November 8, and again during the draft.
