Yawn We still going with the empty threat route?
What empty thread? He supposedly wants to play for a cat team. There's 3 of them and he hasn't nominated one yet.
I'd imagine if he hasn't nominated it's cause the team he is going to is still playing Finals mate...bit of tact here.
Cats or hawks are the two.

Most in here need to chill and go and touch grass.
Patience needed. In time things will move along.

Sooooooooo, Smith nominates the Hawks on Monday?
If Hawks can pull off trading for Smith, Barrass AND Battle this offseason they deserve their flowers.
I personally can’t imagine Bailey would have purchased a house down the Surf Coast where he studies and also is the star of a local business if he wasn’t planning on moving there but stranger things have happened.
Whoever gets him will be very lucky.

It wouldn’t be that hard. Battle is a free agent and apparently Smith is only worth one first round pick in the teens, which leaves a future first for Barrass.
Nope,. signed with Cotton On and Bellarine real estate oops.sorry Geelong a while back.

Too risky very much like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
Only takes another long term injury lay off for previous "demons" to reappear.
The flipside to that is of course he plays out of his skin and becomes the next gen GOAT.

Our fans have abused Bailey Smith in the past, now he's a great.
I do think we'll get a late first and future second though.
He's a good player, but if he was so awesome, he would have forced Macrae out of the midfield, not Richards.
I was saying it in jest in reality, Geelong and surrounds are a way better place to live than the crap heap Melbourne has become due to over population. That helps Geelong get and keep players cheaper.

Someone speaking with a clear head, thank you!
First and 2nd is plenty for an OOC very good player.
That's not the problem. The problem is a "first rounder" in the 20s.
That's not the same as a first rounder around 10 - 12 which is likely what would get it done.
Geelong Chased him for 18 months so it's on them to trade up, it isn't on the dogs.
Not all first rounders are equal, especially when this one in most years is a second rounder.
I’d keep an eye on live trading.
Very likely Cats will go after Lions or Suns first to help them with points for father/son and/or academy picks
I have a feeling that pick 12 from Gold Coast that was originally Doggies first would be a good target.
Yeah kinda sucks going back up the ladder, needing to readjust plans (in this case satisfying rival clubs with trade compensation).
Studies, please, what’s he repeating school from kindergarten again. He is thick as bricks.
He attends Deakin University and studies Bachelor of Business.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, he’s pretty astute for a guy his age.
He knows marketing

And yet you’re the one slinging mud at him on an internet forum while he weighs up a multi-million dollar career move
I hear he's sleeping with the professors to get his degree...

This is a misnomer.
You accepted r1s in the 20s for dunkley and he wasnt coming off an acl.

Its an advantage in some cases but not all
Those that like inner city yuppie stuff (grundy) wont move to geelong they will pick melb clubs and sometimes people with kids cant (especially if they are divorced like goldstein) but for the single young guys that love surfing and fishing or the older ones married with kids who like the beach and farms its a big drawcard.
Geelong is realistically the only club location wise where you can live on a farm and still drive to training every day.
