I don’t think any fan base wants to see him fail, if he isn’t at my club next year I’d hope whoever has him does everything in their power to help him.
He’s a young man, we all want him to succeed and be the best person he can be.

We've got a history of trying our best on similar cases. Has failed more than it's worked but not for lack of trying.

Elijah Hollands had a police case levied against him for possession of cocaine and he’s been one of our best players this year

Bailey will be fine, the Cats will get the best out of him

We literally have a perfect case in Stengle

He’s had an AA level year again and he’s had a high profile incident this year.

He’s playing well still. We’ll be fine, Baz wouldn’t be the first or last player with a checkered past to play for the Cats.

Baz had been so good staying quiet and not saying dumb shit and then that latest article drops and supposedly he hasn’t even thought about his next contract yet. Sigh.

Not his fault the club sent him to that thing Ballarat. He's good avoiding questions but he's a bad liar

Come to the Cats, we can sweep any negative stories under the rug like we did with the Stengle drug fueled “medical incident”.

Come to the Cats, because most journos can't be bothered driving here

Good to know the Cats are bringing him home, isn't it?

Nice advertorial, Jake

Smith was priority number one for Hawthorn in January of this year, but by late July, he had become priority number three and the Hawks had no draft capital to orchestrate a trade. His manager was informed of this July 26th.
He is a brilliant player and a fine young man, will be a huge asset to the Cats. But with the emergence of a stellar Hawthorn midfield, his access to a starting midfield position at Hawthorn was certainly denied, and the Hawks first pick in the 2024 draft is heading west.
can't fit them all in, so it's really a win-win-win for the Cats, Dogs and Hawks.

Technically Jake Niall has been in the business longer, but presumably Celebrity 101 is better networked

The Hawks win by doing nothing eh?

 

[Ka Norkers]

no, the Hawks win by using their first round draft pick on a player they need, rather than a player they don't

The Hawks win by not being involved. What a club.

has up his sleeve. I suspect he knew Baz was leaving and that’s why we went for Sanders.

I wonder how Geelong can satisfy the Bulldogs as their first is going to be 14+. I doubt they will want to pay what hes worth and put in their f1 as well.

Maybe we ask for a bunch of 2026 future picks for our father sons coming? Instead of a first this year.

Cooney, West, Lake and Darcy kids will all be at least top 20, so we’re going to need an arsenal of draft picks to get those done. The rules have changed this year so you can trade picks up to four years in advance right?

You might be getting a bit creative there, but I wouldn't be against throwing our future 2nd down to get a 2nd this year

Interesting way to look at it.

Not fussed either way on Smith.

Post is fair but its a troll account hence the humour.

It will be our current first plus other picks (probably our future 2nd definitely not our future 1st).
