Unrestricted Free Agent Bailey Banfield [UFA 2024]

[Cursedsword02]

The 26-year-old medium forward from Freo is an Unrestricted Free Agent this year due to being delisted and re-rookied years ago.

Any chance he might get looked at by rival clubs looking for a ready-made forward?

Should be as busy as the Harley Reid thread.

There was a bit of talk somewhere (can’t remember where - will have a look) that Carlton was sniffing around.

I saw some vague speculation too but thought it was fans, not media

Feels like he has that many staying factors that we'd have to offer something pretty disrespectful for him to leave. Currently engaged, family business based in WA, does a bunch of community work, is Freo's sustainability officer. But then again, we have form in the "disrespectful offer" department.

In general, seems like Freo are holding off on contract talks until they have their ducks in a row and know around what they're gonna be investing come trade and draft periods. Part of that is most of our OOC players are a bit meh, but there's a few on that list who you'd think we should have a pretty good idea what we're gonna offer by now, including Banfield.

Am i wrong in thinking his family own a company that puts stacks into freo? was a wild thought going around you guys kept him on the list for this long due to the dollars his family bring in.. in saying that he has had a decent year.

Willie Creek Pearls.
Minor sponsor, but put a stack into the club over covid.

Bailey would be earning plenty outside of the cap as well. Sustainability Officer, Fronts the Starlight program and purple hands foundation.

He also got something ridiculously high on his ATAR. He should have played 100 games for Freo by the end of the season.

What happens when an AFL dream turns to dust

Bailey Banfield was left shocked and disappointed when he was ignored by every AFL club in the 2016 rookie draft. Now, not only is the Fremantle midfielder raising eyebrows in the national competition, some say he could even one day be running it.

His fiancee is also a complete smoke show

Guy is crushing life really

 

[exxcessivve]

He’s been disrespected for many years by fans and club. I reckon he’s an iconic player of this era of Freo and his effort has been consistently high. I don’t know if the stats reflect it but I feel like he’s contributed something important in every game he’s played the last two or three years.

 

[masai tu]

He’s a pearler.

Sign him up.

 

[Joao]

Never been happier for a battler to become a good player. Seems like an absolute legend off-field.

Definitely want to keep and that might not always have been the case.
