Trade Requested Bailey Smith

[rapidfire7]

Cats first and Holmes may get a deal done.

Kidding right? I hope so.

Funny how Melbournians hoo hoo Geelong and the Surf Coast but spend thousands in caravan park fees and hours in the car on every 20+ degree weekend between August and May.

Surf coast > anywhere else in Victoria

Because its like a grandparent loves looking after the grandchild because they get to hand them back, people like spending the money on caravan parks cause they get to go back to Melbourne after the holiday

I have a sneaking idea he might end up signing a 2 year contract

Obviously. Cats first, Dempsey and Stengle instead.

I've thought this all along.

Could be very wrong, of course, but it's my gut feel.

 

[catman2006]

I would be ok if Smith stayed at the dogs, not the end of the world.

 

[Klink]

Chances of Smith staying would be less than 5% - extremely unlikely I would have thought

Why?

 

[catman2006]

Why?

you would have thought he would have resigned by now if he was going to do so.

Who knows? (Answer: no-one).

He may have done so, just not announced.

c'mon clubs love to announce resiging players and their is a history when players leave it this late that they are after a move, who knows dees may enter the fray to replace trac.

C'mon, we're talking about B Smith here...

There have been a few reasons put forward as to why a re-signing announcement might be delayed.

Given that you know no more than me or anyone else, it's probably worth holding off making absolute statements until something concrete emerges.

Yep.

This is what the Busslinger thread was full of, and the English one right up until the day the signings were announced

I do think he'll leave, but theres every chance he hasn't decided yet

Too reasonable for BF, Struggle.

Much wiser to go with the talking heads in the media.

They all know more about what Smith's doing than Bailey himself...

 

[fpm84]

Geelong has offered Smith five years, why would he sign for two at the Dogs? He might do his ACL again in round 2 and struggle to get back to his best during that deal. A longer deal with more security and a guaranteed starting role in our midfield seems a no brainer.

Geelongs first this year and next might get it done??

Cats aren’t gonna trade their future first with the current first, they didn’t for any other recent deal it’s not going to change now.
Dogs will ask for it and rightfully so, but he’s out of contract so that’s the sticking point.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Realistically Cats first and Knevitt. He's kind of what dogs could use as a inside/outside mid.

That could be a possibility (i would prefer to keep knevitt but i can see it).

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

You guys can have Knevitt

for free

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

It's purely our first and parfitt and that's it

doubt they will want parfitt

Backup for libba to give him a rest every 4 weeks

Ryley Sanders has that role mate.

 

[54Bulldog16]

The good ol 1st and a player that we don’t want should be enough
