Also,

Burke sounds a little bitter...

 

[Footy Smarts]

Yep. Just imagine the amount Brisbane owes us for Lincoln McCarthy.

Salty much...

 

[Strange Cat]

Salty much...

Yeah imagine a club not proving physio and medical attention just because you might leave would be a massive lawsuit waiting to happen

The guy is a imbecile

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Burke sounds a little bitter...

Surely this is paid for out of an insurance policy the league has

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We should throw our hat in the ring for him.

Heard a rumour at the pub on Saturday that we're in for him. First I'd heard of it, can anyone else confirm this new information.

 

[Cataholic]

Burke sounds a little bitter...

Isn't he going to Hawthorn Nathan??

 

[supahoops]

Can he ruck ?

Maybe forward, the knock on him is speed and athleticism so whether he can build a tank and work on his short burst is the question. Definitely not close to Neale but could compliment him one day, looks a bit like Jacko from back in the day and more suited to an 80’s style game right now.

This is the most stupid thing I've read from him

Normally he's really good, in that he's on top of things and the points he makes are really valid - especially regarding the AFLW

I'm curious what bought this on

 

[Munich]

We should throw our hat in the ring for him.

I thought it was already a done deal.

 

[Cataholic]

I thought it was already a done deal.

There's a bit of banter because the announcement is such a 'surprise'.

 

[Munich]

There's a bit of banter because the announcement is such a 'surprise'.

Oh right haha.

Didn't he buy a place in Geelong a few weeks ago. I thought he'd be more the Torquay type but maybe not.

 

[Cataholic]

That's the rumour.

I think we'll have a lot more clarity as soon as Geelong's race is run.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Yep. Just imagine the amount Brisbane owes us for Lincoln McCarthy.

And Nakia

 

[Boxhead_31]

That's the rumour.

I think we'll have a lot more clarity as soon as Geelong's race is run.

Or if Port knock Hawthorn out this week

 

[Cataholic]

They might suppress it to avoid distraction?

 

[cats_09]

According to James, he bought in Bellbrae

 

[Munich]

Now to not overpay. Be strong Mack.

Yep. Especially for someone coming off an ACL.

Burke still has brain trauma from when Ablett Snr nearly killed him one day at Waverley.

He overlooked an important piece of information - Smith is currently contracted through to Oct with the Bulldogs. Whilst he’s a contracted player it’s the clubs contractual obligation to provide all necessary support to the contracted player.

Not a difficult concept to grasp for anyone with a functioning brain.

Will be interesting to see how the Dogs play this out.

 

[WaxiesDargle]

Phase 2 is now complete.

1. Bailey falls out with Dawgs
2. Bailey requests trade
3. Bailey nominates Cats
4. Bailey gets traded to the Cats
5. Bailey destroys Hawks in the ‘25 GF

 

[fpm84]

Geelong’s first-round pick will only be the starting point of any potential deal and their current draft pick.

With the Cats locked into a top-four finish, that pick cannot be lower than No.15.

So the Dogs will want more than a single selection and might also be open minded about whether a player is involved in the deal.

Geelong has a full slate of picks available to use in a deal, having maintained all their picks in November’s draft.

The Dogs had offered Smith a two-year deal but the Cats offer is likely to be long-term.

Hawthorn and Collingwood had been in the race for Smith early this year but have moved on to other priorities.

It's pretty clear, isn't it? They've got form in being absolutely horrendous to deal with when any of their players have the temerity to ask to leave. Dunkley was a prime example of this phenomenon.

So I fully expect the Cats to overpay exponentially (according to some on here, at least) to ensure that the deal gets done. And like a number of other deals that just about caused this board to entirely melt down when they were transacted, I believe whatever cost we pay will ultimately end up being absolutely worth it.

Nice investigative skills. It’s not that property but it’s actually not too far from there.
