Trade Requested Bailey Smith [reportedly headed to Geelong]

[CatToTheFuture]

about the same as Dangerfield does then. 1hr on the road isn't prohibitive for lifestyle reasons

I do not know why people would tolerate that lifestyle

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Danger takes a helicopter

Through his local helicopter sponsorship deal. He did a talk once for them so he earned it fairly

 

[rye]

That's like a hours drive one way to get to Port or Crows training

seems fairly reasonable?

heaps of people in melbourne are taking around that if not longer to get to work each day.

Danger only drives that far, it’s long but it’s not super long.

You should see how long it takes Joe Daniher to drive to training and or games at Home.

And that is why I would never live in Melbourne

 

[rye]

i moved away for a reason - but i think an hours commute to a job in the cbd from a hobby farm is quite good and well within what most people would be willing to work with to facilitate that lifestyle.

People driving an hour to go to work honestly sounds like I'm talking to an alien. Do these people hate themselves? Why?

When you’re a weird unit like he is, he wants solitude in his down time.
Dude doesn’t even own a TV. Some peeps are just different man.

Some love the central big city buzz, some want to young bloke party lifestyle, some like the surfy cultures in Brisbane, Sydney, Geelong/Surf Coast, Perth etc and nice weather of some of those places, some like the reclusiveness or farming away from people.
I drive 30 mins to get to work and that’s enough for me…..but I’m not a muti millionaire who gets paid to kick a leather ball around a field once a weekend.

Interesting that Twoomey said he may walk to the PSD...
Surely the Tigs would be licking their lips.
It isnt common that players head there anymore.

Would be a massive upgrade on the wings over Macca & Pickett that's for sure. since we not giving up no picks.
And we need to fill our salary cap somehow. I am sure it won't get to that stage & Geelong will get the deal done.
but surely the club reaches out to his management & says if a deal doesn't happen we have a role for you.

Sure, but that’s only cause Joe gets lost every time.

I used to do a 90 minute commute to get to work. It was ****ing horrible; it just killed so much free time each day.

Why would someone go to the PSD instead of the National Draft? Genuine question.

I have to drive an hour and 40 mins from regional Geelong to the city for work each day, one way. Agree, it sucks a lot and takes up so much free time. Train was the worst, delays and jumping from train, to train, to tram meant 3 hour commutes.

Please tell me you have an electric car.

How much does it cost you in petrol per week?

Yeah, you do it because you have to, not because you want to.

Millionaire AFL footballers don't have to.

leaving his 90 min commute to Casey Fields for a 10 min commute to Princes Park.

He said that being in the car that long post training resulted in added soreness and stiffness etc.

That said, he was probably on a lot of drugs at the time.

I think they can put a price on their head in the PSD

 

[iameviljez]

Pretty sure they can do that in the ND too. Luke Ball comes to mind

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

I think they can put a price on their head in the PSD

Can do that in the ND also.

Would only go to the PSD if they knew it was easier to make it to their club of choice (e.g if there are only three teams participating in the PSD)

Or you really really wanted to go to Richmond.

34.. Would a straight swap with Sam DK be about fair for both.. We never see straight player for player trades, but this would fix the needs for both clubs.

Dogs KPD are Lobb 32 & Liam Jones 34.. Would a straight swap with Sam DK be about fair for both.. We never see straight player for player trades, but this would fix the needs for both clubs.

We also have Busslinger (20), Croft (19) and James O'Donnell (22)

The reason DK isn’t playing is because he is coming off of knee surgery, hasn’t played AFL level footy since Round 21.
It’s nothing to do with form or being out of favour or anything like that. Cats are very risk averse when it comes to players and Finals. Holmes missed 2022 GF even when he passed all fitness tests.

I thought Edmund put it to bed the other day? There were overzealous Carlton supporters frothing at getting him thinking he wasn’t in the side due to form not realising he has been out injured and Edmund said on Whateley’s show that it’s complete rubbish and that both Sam and Geelong are happy. He lives in Torquay with his siblings and loves to surf. He’s not moving away from that.

My post had nothing to do with him not being selected, more so dogs needs KPD and Cats needing mids..

Dogs have KPD? Busslinger is sitting in the reserves right now lol

If anything they need a genuine small forward who plays like a small forward (Weightman plays more like a third tall even at his stature)
Or another genuine mid as Bont, Treloar, Libba aren’t getting younger and about to lose Smith and Macrae

And on top of all of it….
Smith is Out of Contract, SDK isn’t available.
Not even remotely considered.
