But he’had already requested a trade before our game. Not which club he was going to but I don’t think that matters. Why does it matter which game he goes to?

Maybe a different story if he hadn’t said he was leaving then attended our game.

As in that he should not have rocked up in the Geelong section with the Cotton On crew. I'm assuming he knew he was sitting in the Geelong section with a Cotton On ticket.

The trade isn't done yet; he's still a Dogs player.

If Smith joins us, I would expect many of our male supporters at his first game at KP will show solidarity by taking their shirts off. What a sight! Lol.

See if CatMan really is a Cat Man.

If i had a rig like Smith I am not sure i would even bother with shirts tbh

Agree about the haircut, but it is his "brand"!

When the heck does he officially announce he wants to come to Geelong??

Bluntly, the hairstyle* is just bogan. Not even the Covid ‘cool’ bogan.



Mouth breather

*Obviously his ability to play is second to his hair

I’ve heard he has a phenomenal dedication to training. That’s great for players to experience.

Long hair on a guy can look great



Oisin looks great with both.

Regarding the announcement, I think Geelong will pay respect to older, retiring players first.

Delisting now. Annoyed Gary Rohan was included in delisted list. Deserved better, especially after head injury

Then, BS announcement, followed by other players joining our team. Keeping best until last.

There were lots of "Geelong sections".

Are we even sure they were in the same bay?

The players were all sitting in the last two rows. I didn't see Baz anywhere near them.

I’m not sure if he had nominated or not, but O Henry was sitting with cats players in the cats section on GF day 22. That’s probably worse.

I know the trade isn’t officially done, but either way he’s not playing for the dogs next season.

You could argue he knew them all anyway due to his bro.

Sam Edmund was again adamant this morning on Whatley that SDK will not be traded or that he wants to leave, or any of the bullshit doing the rounds currently.

Let’s get Tom when a free agent next year

 

[Boxhead_31]

Thanks for that. IIRC, according to the Midweek Tackle, it's a done deal. Cillian Burke will be coming to Geelong.

Another product of the Kerry Footy Factory

You can keep your username.
You’ll just have to remove yourself from this forum and stick to the SANFL thread

 

[Kobe Gryant]

What the hell am I going to do about this username

Bailey Smith's six-pack?

Bailey Smith's crushed anti-inflammatories?

Jack Martin's hamstring?

'Artist formerly known as...'?

 

[Hinkley29]

Twomey said on Gettable that Martin is choosing between Geelong and Freo

Freo please

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Haha bulldogs board think they've exposed some under the table deal between Cotton On and us/Baz.

Reckon it's going to "blow up".

Do they think we're as poorly run as Carlton?

All players + families will receive a 25% discount on Smith’s range, if they pay in cash.

Obviously going to be a bigger scandal than Carlton, Visy + Judd

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Smith is a done deal and just waiting on a formal announcement. No change from that in the last few weeks (or more). But the Zac Butters thing seems a bit left field if I'm being 100% honest. Not sure if we might be talking to similar people connected with the club but when I raised the Zac Butters matter I got laughed at and told "not a snowflakes chance".

Unless Butters is buying property for life after football and there's no connection to the GFC. Tom De Koning owns property in Torquay but that doesn't mean he's playing for Geelong next year.

Yep that is correct JJ on the Bailey Smith stuff!!
It was indeed a done deal apparently months ago... according to my "friend".
When his mate the landscaper had sold his property to BS.
It was indeed stamped DONE DEAL for me at least.
The same bloke, my "friend" in the same conversation mentioned both A. Brayshaw and Z.Butters.
"Butters is on his way home". He's just about to purchase a nice piece of farmland close by.
I asked are we in with a chance??
He laughed and said we are "Balls Deep"... I asked. On Bailey?? No... No... On both!!
They are Contracted??
Does it matter??
U gotta be RUTHLESS in the QUEST for SUCCESS were his words.
I Fookin Smiled like the bloody RIDDLER!!!
FMD sometimes u walk around all day with a chubby for all the wrong reasons. LOL.
Fingers crossed that the stars align and we retool like the champion club that we are.
Cheers Boys!!

I don't.

Lots of Southern Crosses and bad fake-tribal tatts on display.....

 

[iameviljez]

I don't wear pants and undies for a similar reason.

 

[Commando]

Next year you reckon? Or '26?

Word is Butters for 26'
The big ones are starting to get sorted out 18 months out

 

[Gee Class Loco]

I don't.

neither do i .... lol

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Next year you reckon? Or '26?

Didn't really say.
Or i was not paying real attention after i heard the words "balls deep"... coz thats when he had me. lol
Got the impression... this upcoming season.
But was that was me wishful thinking and not really listening ?? I'll have to confirm on my next chat.
Either Ither for me. As quality mids like either of these don't come along often.

 

[Hinkley29]

It feels like Butters may be waiting to see what happens with Kenny before deciding what he wants to do.

 

[cats_09]

What the hell am I going to do about this username

"Bailey Smith's Rig"

 

[Kobe Gryant]

True, been mentioned that this Smith deal started as early as 2022.

Gotta make the groundwork early or you're left behind.
