High expectations for next year hey?He’s a good player and if he comes to us I will be happy, but also won’t lose sleep if he doesn’t. If it’s us hoping our f1 rather than this years first given it’s a strong top 20 based on watching the recent champs matches. Pick 24 next year after bid matches feels about right!

Or total faith in the AFL to compromise the draft even further, to be fair pick 24 was the 6th last pick of round 1 last year!
CatAttack podcast mentioned Bailey was just recently looking at real estate around Bellbrae area.
I mean it could mean nothing but would be weird to get a house basically on Bells Beach and not play for Geelong right?
And I have been on the “Bailey the Hawks nuffie is going to Hawthorn” train

Feel like the links have been stronger to Geelong in recent weeks.

Nice spot, the club should be able to scrounge up some nice acreage out that way for a very reasonable price.

The k rock guys were passing on an unconfirmed rumour though. Just that he'd looked at and not bought a luxury place in bellbrae. Not saying anything is locked in
Should be pick 40-50 based on his injury history and other issues!

Not necessarily I think he meant all the picks between 40-50 which under the system is the equivalent of Nick Daicos!

Man the dvi system just isnt reflective of reality. That's pick 1 and 23 on points. Imagine giving up pick 1 and 23 for the 11 picks 40-50
Obviously depends where we finish.
If we fall out of the 8 then you're probs getting Stengle compo only.
If we are finish where we are at currently Pick 13, then probably have to throw F3 depending on the back and forth.
If we finish top 4 then probably a F2 instead of F3.
We won't want to trade much out of this year's draft with lots of guys retiring. We will need to fill about 5/6 spots with one of them obviously being Baz so probably at least 4/5 spots.
We won't want to trade a future 1st either with an incoming rebuild due.
I'm sure both clubs will want it done quickly so they can get organized for the Draft
That way Dogs can enter back into the first round after they traded out their 2024 Pick to Gold Coast and Cats can get to work on who they want to take.

If they cared which they don’t they would immediately move to 2 pick matching with no discount and that would solve the pay fair price argument. The dvi is impossible because it’s static. Harley Reid worth a lot more than Josh Smillie for example. Would love to see it move to a bidding system with allocated pool of points that would allow market value to be paid rather than these arbitrary ones. Only way that happens is to show how it adds $ as that’s all the commission cares about the AFL isn’t a serious sporting administration.

In defence of the dvi system (and I'm not saying it's good), you can only take as many picks to the draft as you have open list spots.
So to achieve this you'd have to have 11 open list spots at the time of draft, which means north 2020 tier list cutting. Not too many well run clubs are doing that

Geelong using their "Costa Living Allowance" to get Bailey into prime coastal real estate at a bargain price. They do it for every recruit

Yep, and the best part is there's nothing anyone can do about it!
Essendon would be the only other club that would come close to living rent free in the heads of opposition supporters.Yep, and the best part is there's nothing anyone can do about it!

Crows players used to have a suspiciously high rate of hospitality ventures with riccuto

Scott has supposedly gone all in on trying to lure Baz in recent months.
Remains to be seen how the increased attention plays out.

I would do obscene things to get a midfielder or two if I was Christopher

Make or break?
I think there is a lot of bullshit rumour about this potential move.
A few clubs would be keen, Hawks and Cats obvious fits.
Personally not that fussed, yes another AFL mid would be good but I don't rate Smith that highly.
