Trade Requested Bailey Smith [reportedly headed to Geelong]

[taurus]

His accuracy with kicking wasn't that great. Turned over too many for a calibre he supposed to be.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Dogs should rightly demand 2 first rounders given Geelong will almost certainly be in the top half dozen teams next year if they get Clarry. 2 picks in the teens sounds about right.

 

[Xtreme]

Bazlenka, Butters, Oliver, Reid, Cadman. All in by 2026.

The dynasty just keeps on rolling.....

Too bad they all crap their footy shorts when the heat is on!!

They will demand that all week and then take 15 and a future 2nd on the last day.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

He's not showing up apparently.

Think he might have been holding off until after but then asked not to attend

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

I reckon this one goes late. Looking forward to the balanced chat throughout.

Power is a pretty stubborn operator, I wouldn't be banking on it.

What is his realistic alternative? He goes to Geelong at 15 in the ND and they get nothing. I can't see it coming to that. He will end up compromising because he has to.

As far as our supporters know, he was invited to attend.

 

[halfback dasher]

Why are posters arguing with Geelong fans ?
They have every right to defend their clubs financially questionable position and will continue to do so so there$ absolutely nothing to gain arguing with them about it .
We all move on …
My interest lay in the types Geelong will now recruit to stay competitive.

Doesn't really have to do anything. Dogs were absolutely stout on Dunkley when he asked to leave, I expect them to be the same here.

They were but after threatening draft with dunkley all week they compromised in the last hour. I think this will be similar.

They'll say that publicly. Who knows. Maybe he's just a d***

 

[TheEscapeClub]

The pies are about as much chance of getting p12 for noble as I am of being an f1 driver next year.

Lawson might flop, you're still a chance.

 

[Coasters7]

We manage it well, maybe well enough to satisfy HR in 24 months time, watch this space

Can’t tamper and get Harley for a packet of chips though like you seem to do with other contracted players

How the **** do you call our position “financially questionable” with absolutely 0 information?

Also, it would be better described as “transparently fraudulent.”

 

[Coasters7]

I heard we only stole Lawson Humphries from your academy cause we offered him a house and land package in Armstrong Creek.

Open your other eye mate. Cotton On has been paying Smith for months. Very easy to manage a cap when you can top up player payments outside of it

You can’t tell me you think the Cotton On stuff is above board. Conveniently requests a trade to the club who’s sponsor has been handing him money for months. Absolute rort

 

[Pencil case]

and from you as well.....

u got SDK yet?

Seems a real chance we end up with SDK if Cats are getting Oliver, for better or worse.

Like Tim Kelly went to WCE in the draft.

No you aren’t. If he moves from us it’s to the Blues…

it’s true, him requesting that trade was convenient.

 

[eastfreo75]

Smith to Geelong smells.

Cotton On as major sponsor and Smith being a paid employee has RedFlags on this.

AFL need to publish wages and third-party deals.

 

[rye]

good luck ever getting the aflpa to tick off on an audit of third party deals.

every club does it.

 

[Pencil case]

This geezer the new Celebrity 101....

Oliver 40% retention 4 cats pick 35

I’d suggest the new celebrity 101 are certain Cats fans thinking they’ll land B.Smith for pick 15 and some change.
