He has a better track record than hopper so it will be interesting to see what our recruitment guys can pull of vs what geelongs can

TBH, the whole Dunkley thing is in the collective BF mind at this stage.
There is nothing definite out there, so I'm prepared to wait it out without coming to any conclusions.
Classis jumping-at-shadows right now.
Doesn't social media just love that? Absolute feeding frenzy going on!
Not having a go at you, DR - I just quoted your post as a reference point

Hopper has been awful since his return from injury and in a vacuum Dunkley to mine has a lot more currency.
Reported on Twitter as 2 years, hopefully that’s incorrect though and it’s a bit longer!

Great news. They always release these stories when things are flat.

2 years sounds about right, Baz probably knows he’s going to be a lot more valuable in 2 years and we’d probably be wary of
going too big/long. Would be nice to have him locked in long term but at least it’s out of the way for now.
Kids a gun, we’ve all obviously forgotten just how good his start to the year was - he was AA until his little incidents. Was the hardest runner in the game just about but yes he’s had a bad month disposal wise.
He’ll never be an elite kick but it’s not unusual for his type to be hit or miss, they usually tend to learn to live within their limitations a little bit with experience. Plus I think we could help him out by having better options for him in front of the ball, he’s more than capable of it - see the lace out kick he hit Jamarra with on the weekend when he had an actual proper target lead up at him.
Kid will be a superstar
Looking at his highlights, I can’t work out how he kicks these goals from the pocket, but then can’t execute a 30 metre kick going forward!
Not sure anyone knows the specifics yet mate. Everyone’s just assuming because journos were saying it was done that he was staying weeks ago and nothings been done since. Then the port link came along.

His interview last week wasn’t exactly enthusiastic either.
With Baz now done, let’s wait and see what comes of it.

Maybe he's trying to hit the top of the goal square?

I’m sure the media will use the opportunity to remind us that Dunkley remains unsigned and Dogs will be now up the ante to get it done.
Dangerfield being Clangerfield for a very long time is my example. I think Smith can get to an acceptable level eventually.

whats the rationale behind two years?
You're back at the contract table in a year's time for a young player.

jesus kingy got something right about us...it must be pretty obvious.
My guess is the drug stuff scared both away from anything long term. He'll get a massive pay day if he keeps his nose clean in the next two years.
Pun completely intended.

Good move by Baz to keep the contract length short. See what happens with our coaches before pissing his career away at the kennel.
As bad as his kicking and defensive abilities are, I think it's pretty likely that two years from now Baz is viewed as a top player of the game. Smart decision if you're a top end young talent. Those two years won't be chump change and then he gets to pursue a mega deal.
Going out of contract the same time Tim becomes a free agent isn't ideal at all for us though. Lose both in one year with the age Bont and co will be/will be approaching at that point...
Some savvy salary cap planning required by Power going forward that's for sure.
