I your post because I read the last few lines and want it to be true.The B. Smith paragraph is complete gibberish and I guess maybe the rest of your post is also.
Smith is 100% gone. Senior players are over him senior officials are over him and he wants a fresh start. This will be a win win.
Take it to the bank. GONE!!
Scares all of us I think. Players I'd look at personally would be Borlase, battle and Caleb Graham.The key back paragraph scares me mate.. Keath has been good but can barely bend over to pick up a ground ball. Jones 35 next year. Must pick up another even if it’s just depth (eg a Tomlinson type).
I appreciate I'm not the best with words, I also use big footy on my phone and technology isn't my strong suit but I'm only sharing what i was told by a friend on Saturday morning at the VFL, I trust fully in what he has told me as he has never steered me wrong in the past and is close enough to the situation to know what's going on. I appreciate though that others have heard differently and that is fine.The B. Smith paragraph is complete gibberish and I guess maybe the rest of your post is also.

Deserves a chance to bounce back next year with a proper full preseasonStill has plenty of good footy in him. People writing him off after positional moves and missing weeks of the preseason.
Neither will be cheap. I don't think Battle will go past the offer Hawks have in front of him and it isn't something I'd be comfortable offering but you have to pay overs in cash to get free agents. Barrass will cost similar money but is the better player when fit however he has big question marks over his body.I would be happy with Barrass for the right price, as in, not having to break the bank for him. Battle I haven't seen enough off, don't pay attention to St Kilda games nowadays so I can't give a proper assessment.
Around 800k over 5 or 6 years (don't quote me on length though)God, what are hawthorn offering Battle? Interesting if they are offering both him and Baz big cash.
“How will they afford Newcombe, Day, Sicily down the track?”
Battle would be stupid to not take that. Dumb moneyAround 800k over 5 or 6 years (don't quote me on length though)
With Borlase he is a delisted free agent so wouldn’t cost nothing.Scares all of us I think. Players I'd look at personally would be Borlase, battle and Caleb Graham.
Graham wouldn't be expensive either although he is the only one of the three contracted.With Borlase he is a delisted free agent so wouldn’t cost nothing.
Probably a pipe dream but the club should ask the question about Leek Aleer from GWSGraham wouldn't be expensive either although he is the only one of the three contracted.
Don't ask NorthDon't need defenders if you kick 149 points every week.
You can add charlie ballard as a back up name if we don't land BarassFew bits I've heard this weekend.
Only two teams in the race for Lobb currently if he leaves, Melbourne and Saints. The dogs will likely block any move unless another tall is brought in.
Macrea has interest from the Cats, would require the dogs to pay 1/3 of his wage though.
The dogs have interest in both Stengle and Rayner, not one or the other the cap space is expected to be there to sign both whilst re-signing next years big guys including a nice pay rise for Richards which is in the works.
The interest in Barrass is their but isn't anymore in depth then an initial conversation with his management, his willing to move and clubs are willing to entertain a potential trade but want to see how he finishes the year and do medicals, both dogs and pies both made it clear nothing would go further then that until that happens.
The dogs are looking at key defenders but more then likely a fringe type, if the ideal target isn't available it isn't viewed as panick stations as all three of Jones, Gardner and Keath will be on the list next year.
Buss won't be looking at a contract until after he has played seniors and ideally a block of games, he is still backing himself in to improve his value he has said that is the only reason.
B.Smith is in a good place and is working on where everything sits for him currently, he genuinely hasn't made up his mind with where he is at and the club is happy to give him time. He knows the offer infront of him and the ball is in his court now.

Of all those names would be most stoked with Rayner. He’s an absolute jet. Just needs to work on consistencyFew bits I've heard this weekend.

Brisbane supporters don’t think so and would be pleased to see him go.Of all those names would be most stoked with Rayner. He’s an absolute jet. Just needs to work on consistency
I think Rayner would flourish with a fresh start in a new environment.
Know a lot of people wouldn’t be keen but I’d be happy to take a chance on him.
I don’t see it with Rayner. Just doesn’t get involved enough. Can’t play full time mid, doesn’t impact enough as a forward. If he wasn’t a former 1st pick don’t think he’d be getting much attentionOf all those names would be most stoked with Rayner. He’s an absolute jet. Just needs to work on consistency
Key defenders are the one position Adelaide has been good at drafting/developing recently so there’s a little bit of a logjam. I’d definitely be into BorlaseShould be all over Borlase, playing backup ruck at the moment, pinch hitting forward. Surely won’t take much to get him interested as a key back.
Would be happy with Ballard or Borlaise. Don't see it with Rayner. Would have to give up a lot in picks and cap space
He's like stringer at his worstI don’t see it with Rayner. Just doesn’t get involved enough. Can’t play full time mid, doesn’t impact enough as a forward. If he wasn’t a former 1st pick don’t think he’d be getting much attention
