And in further breaking news I'm considering approaching Salma Hayek.

Ask dazbroncos for tips

Was it a coincidence he’s been liking Dangers Instagram stories and pics lately.

True?

What in earth is the holdup with smith?? Just announce it already

Maybe he’s happy with Cats/Hawks/Pies whoever can get a deal done with the Dogs, I dunno.

You remain steadfast in your belief that we have NO interest in Oliver?

If that was the case we would still be front runners as we have 2 firsts available not that we would use them

Hawks will use at least a first on Barrass
And Coll don't have a first this year as they traded it for Shultz

There’s a bit going on at Melbourne and it’s going to get ugly.

Let’s just say wait for things to blow up in the next 24 hrs between him and the club. The way it’s being portrayed in the media isn’t exactly the full story.

Him = Oliver?

 

[The rabbi]

Have COS in the wings but he’d be a big loss I agree.

There is no guarantee that COS will make it as an AFL player.
At least SDK has had one very good season at AFL level, and a premiership under his belt.

 

[BotsMaster]

Smith is the last name on the list - images often get cut off when posting from Twitter, but wanted to include the lazy option

I don't see Zac Butters on that list

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Oliver is in the top 10 paid AFL players , it was in the publicly listed last week

Oliver is getting just over $1 million a year , unbelievable

 

[Two Planks]

Could the Oliver situation be similar to the Bowes deal. Giving a first round pick to the club that takes him and his salary in full. We then give that pick to the bulldogs for Smith. In essence we get Oliver and Smith for nothing but the salary.

Genuine question
Reckon you have 2+ Mil in salary cap room spare?

Hutchy on the Sounding Board podcast had an aside about Bailey Smith.
Reading between the lines Smith and Geelong seem to be still in contract negotiations. Once Smith is happy with the contract he will then announce his preferred destination. The other side of that coin is either party could still walk away.

I can't do any more wait 24/48 hours.

I'm getting blue balls

Unlikely, but surely players like Duncan, Bews and Stanley are on veteran minimum deals going forward.

There's an extra $2 million in next year's salary cap compared with this year - so that would help

"The total player payments will jump from $15,022,778 in 2023 to $15,788,222 this year, before rising to $17.76m in 2025, $18.29m in 2026 and $18.44m in 2027."

That’s saying that none of your players have built in increases

2Mil would be on the modest scale

I can’t imagine you would be trying to take both

So he's going to be painted as the bad guy?

The Age reporting what I’ve been reporting about Oliver for months in here. Our interest has never dipped. It’s live and I’m here for it.

I'd be happy to pass on Oliver, but we keep being linked to him

If we are taking him, then I'd hope it wouldn't be on his full salary and Melbourne would be paying a good portion of it

And reports also suggest that proposed contract for Smith isn't crazy money & that he'd likely earn more playing elsewhere

So unlikely we'd need a spare $2 million set aside to cover their salaries
