Toast Rising Star Bailey Smith 28 disposals against Geelong

[mattwa]

Zurhaar is not in thar tier...

Still waiting for him to sign was hoping it was this week

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Lets just agree to celebrate that Smith is part of an exceptional draft group that we can rejoice in watching grow and entertain like the Franklin, Griffen, Deledio, Roughead, Lewis group or Judd/Hodge/Ball triumvirate. Bont ( and most of the above) has already shown missing a Rising Star award has very little impact on your future performance.

Conversely, we also see that winning a Rising Star does not guarantee a successful career.

What did become of Rhys Palmer and Lewis Taylor.

Fourth place behind Walsh, Rozee, and Stack. Our boy did us proud.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Very good year from Baz. Deservedly in the placings. Thought Walsh and Rozee were clearly the top 2, thought Smith had a better season than Stack to be honest. Stack being the better story (not picked in either of the drafts) got him some votes imo

Luke Darcy didn't give Bailey any votes. Did someone takes his meds away?

Nor did Bartlett. What a shock!!

 

[ScottyDogg]

I’m sorry but what the heck is Luke Darcy smoking. He would have a closer eye on our talent than others correct? And no votes?

Can someone please provide insight? Is this surprising or is he usually this far off the mark?

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Darce is all over the shop - correct in Rozee over Sam '17 m kicks' Walsh - but no votes for the most impactful player?

Take it seriously or relinquish your vote.

 

[giblj]

Everyone who didn't put him in the top five needs to be hung, drawn, and quartered. Sorry Darce but you know it's only right.

 

[Whoyagot]

Give it a few more weeks and his stocks will skyrocket

 

[flamethrower]

How is Cameron Ling allowed anywhere near voting for these things - most biased flog in the media. It would be like allowing David "I loaded up on Lewis Taylor when a little birdie told me the result before the betting closed" King into the hen house.

Well done on the top 5 finish Bailey - lucky there were some on the voting panel who appreciate impact on the game over pure stats.

 

[Ekomaira]

Smith was ripped off a top 3 finish

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

More than happy with Baz, he will entertain us for many years.

 

[timtamWB]

Remember when Lewis Taylor won over Bont? Good times.

 

[mcgleereturns]

Remember the year Judd, Hodge, Ball, Ablett, Stevie J, Bartel, Swan, Mitchell ( did win following year though), Lake, Montagna, Dal Santo and James Kelly didn’t win? ( Man, that was some draft!!)

Well done Bailey Smith. You’re in good company.

Fully agree Smith was ripped off - big time

Must be a KPI for Darcy to put the Dogs down - disappointing

We all Know KB hates the Dogs - should be removed

Funnily enough Bartlett was a dogs supporter growing up. He has mentioned it many times.

His decision to give Ryan Griffen NO votes in the 2005 Rising Star will never be forgotten. An all-time howler. I like KB, but he can be petty when he has an axe to grind.

 

[ScragCity]

Stack is in the rozee smith Walsh zurhaar tier

The most overrated is miers who is in the lewis taylors tier. Good honest Trier.

So glad you said this. I was starting to think I was the only one who didn't rate Miers at all. I don't get what people see in him. He's decent for a first year player but he will never be more than average.

He is not actually a first year player though, he was on Geelong list last year.

In that case he's even more average.

Darcy voted for Smith FYI. He said the initial release of votes was a typo and he didn’t vote for Jordan Clark.

Very very suss IMO. AFL consistently stuffs up lots of things but that’s not normally one of them.
