School went back on Monday. I’m concerned you didn’t hear the 8:45am bell. I can drop you off with our kids tomorrow if you want….
Ahhh yes Ad hominem attacks, real bottom of the barrel stuff.

True.Josh dunkley a far better player was pick 21, future first and second. Smith isn't close to that
I’m not one for criticising the cats. They are the best in the business.
But Jay Clark dropping the mental health card and needing extra resources for Bailey, and having that involved in trade value... is pretty shithouse and very stupid in my opinion.
Smith also tried this at the draft so interstate clubs over looked him, boy cries wolfI’m not one for criticising the cats. They are the best in the business.

He's got talent no doubt. 2022 smith gets 2 top 10.picks. 2023 smith wasn't played on ball, looked and finished outside the top 10 in the club bnf and then he does a knee.True.
No decent club could be looking seriously at a dud like Smith.
I think the Geelong lifestyle may suit SmithHe's got talent no doubt. 2022 smith gets 2 top 10.picks. 2023 smith wasn't played on ball, looked and finished outside the top 10 in the club bnf and then he does a knee.
Tbh as a cats fan I'm not sure we need him and I'm not sure how he fits into the geelong lifestyle. I'd think he'd commute from Melbourne and not embrace geelong life
Day 2: Draft/PSD mentioned at least sixty times.Day 1: Draft/PSD mentioned at least fifty times.
You want to see kaiserchief13 in his pomp. Then wait for Bayern to be eliminated from a major tournament.cope harder

Sam Power mentioned that Bazlenka is extremely marketable and ups his value....
Jay Clark isnt employed by the GFC.
Doggies will have to lump this one.
A word of advice to the dogs. Pick your game up, become a destination club, stop blaming other factors. This whole us against the world mantra isnt doing you any favours. Time for the board and club as a whole to work on the problem, which is, how do we become a power/destination club.
Dunkley and Bazlenka are 2 test cases you have to analyse.
Attack the problem, not the person.
So you’re saying if he puts himself in an open draft that openly states that he is there for any club to pick, the AFL would step in if the Dogs redrafted him?Hang on? I didn't say that it wasn't possible? I even mentioned it here.
"AFL and AFLPA would step in. Sure, he lets a lot of his rights go if it gets to that point of ND or PSD i'm not disputing that and never said that was the case?"
My point was disputing a Dogs fan saying the Dogs should intentionally screw Smith by "redrafting him"
1. List managers are not that petty, especially Sam Power who knows he will have to deal with Geelong and Connors down the line.
2. AFL and AFLPA would absolutely step in and push for mediation, the work laws are already a tightrope to walk and it behooves them to make sure deals and movement are getting done so that injunctions are not filed against the League, there's a reason "Send him to the Draft" has basically become a meme at this point.
3. Connors as an agent would be furious with the Dogs for messing with his client intentionally, he has multiple players currently on the Dogs list. You think they want to damage that relationship?
How is any of that "unhinged"
They've gotten heads so big after that Bowes trade that they think they're kings of trade period. I guess there needs to be a new club/list manager that is hard to deal with after Dodoro has retired.So you’re saying if he puts himself in an open draft that openly states that he is there for any club to pick, the AFL would step in if the Dogs redrafted him?
That would give every little mumas boy draftee ammunition to get the AFL to step in if they are drafted somewhere they don’t want to go. As for the mental health, that’s on Geelong, they need to get a deal done that satisfies the Dogs and Smith won’t have to stress over ND or anything like that
If the Dogs refused to accept a first round pick, and instead USED a first round pick to redraft Smith, they’d be monumentally weakening themselves. Effectively leaving themselves two first rounders down for no reason other than to fk over Smith.So you’re saying if he puts himself in an open draft that openly states that he is there for any club to pick, the AFL would step in if the Dogs redrafted him?

Dogs aren't going to redraft smith. The Dunkley trade dogs were in talks with other clubs to pick him up if a deal failed.If the Dogs refused to accept a first round pick, and instead USED a first round pick to redraft Smith, they’d be monumentally weakening themselves. Effectively leaving themselves two first rounders down for no reason other than to fk over Smith.
Questions would certainly be asked about why they would do all of that for a player who’s openly said he doesn’t wish to play for them anymore.

Surely Geelong would do
17,2025r2 for Smith, 2025r3.
Would Bulldogs accept that though.

If the Cats were any sort of decent club
Brother the most unhinged shit said in this thread so far is you trying to claim a fair work breach for redrafting an open market player. It’s a draft. You agree to open market terms when you enter the draft. What are you smoking tonight.
