He - Graham - was a Premiership player from 1958 & I am also pretty sure that he spent time on the Board of the club. He may have also spent time as a selector in the 1960's & 1970's. OK.

Of course it’s BS. Geelong have organised Simonds house in Geelong to build one free of charge

I really can't imagine a Simonds house being Baz's style
He'd definitely decline that offer.

Cant imagine him on a small acreage crutching sheep either. Chicks on insta dont dig thatI really can't imagine a Simonds house being Baz's style

I'm sure there are a few multi million dollar ultra modern pads along the coast down there for him to choose from.
Or he could always go on Farmer wants a wife

He's been pretty consistent for the Doggies all year at VFL level:
Probably only another solid pre-season and 4-5 kgs away from pushing one of the old guard out in the Doggies backline, Jones is 33 next year, Lobb 32, only other KPDs after that are Ryan Gardner (0 games at AFL level / 7 games at VFL level due to foot and wrist injuries) and James O'Donnell (Cat B Rookie).
Busslinger turned 20 years old back in March, so he's due to start really filling out and developing that AFL KPP physique during this off season.

Hard to be too critical when we were 1 point off a GF in 2022 and won a premiership in 2023.
It would be good to draft an A-grade talent. I think that’s probably also a result of not having many top 10 picks over the years. Part of this has probably been a result of overpaying. 2x 1st round picks for Treloar, 2x 1st round picks for Beams, losing pick 2 for a couple of second round picks and now losing pick 10.
It also seemed in the earlier years, we were a little behind when it came to packaging draft picks to move higher up the draft order. Having said that, what would I know? Maybe we tried it but couldn’t get a deal over the line.

Not the only one, seems like opposition coaches have figured out that the best way to minimise Daniel's impact off half back is to go through his direct opponent and make him defend which he isn't great at, especially in the air (for obvious reasons).

I wonder if there’s any way we could shake him out of the Doggies.
A 20 yr old key backman who has the potential to improve would be ideal.

He still would've got to Geelong. No one was going to take a look who made his intentions very well known

Another two years on his contract and a pretty clear path to a spot at AFL level would probably mean a pretty firm no in answer to that question.
The Doggie's glut is up forward, not down back, unless they pull a switcheroo and decide to push Naughton back which probably wouldn't be the worst idea for them, given the impending log jam they have up forward.
Came into this thread to suggest him as a better option than previously. A month ago I said you couldn't play Noble and Daniel in the same side, so I wasn't into Caleb. But with JFN now out of here, Daniel is a nice stopgap and I reckon the Dogs will fix us up by paying some of his salary.
To Caleb's credit, he's always performed in finals. Check his career numbers in September - very good typically. Polled several times in the Gary Ayres votes, and in the 2021 Norm Smith votes. Played well on Friday night too despite having a rough year with selection.

Cross one off
GOLD Coast midfielder Alex Davies has turned his back on interest in Victoria to remain with the Suns.
Collingwood and Geelong had expressed interested in the 22-year-old inside bull, but the Suns' Academy graduate has opted to re-sign with Gold Coast.
Davies has played 32 games for the Queensland club since joining the AFL list at the end of 2020, producing some of his best performances yet in the closing weeks of 2024 under new coach Damien Hardwick.
With Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson and Touk Miller in Gold Coast's engine room, Davies has struggled for regular opportunities at AFL level, but has committed to staying and will finalise a two-year extension in the coming days.
The Magpies are in the market for an inside midfielder to complement Craig McRae's midfield and will now turn their attention elsewhere, with Greater Western Sydney's James Peatling and Essendon's Ben Hobbs two other options they are considering.
Out-of-contract mature-age recruits Lachie Sullivan, Ned Long and Jack Bytel are all waiting to see what unfolds over the coming weeks before final contract decisions are made for 2025.

Big time sooky la-la, not sure if I'm buying into that.
