Remember reading a few clubs were keen on him in the draftGiven how much interest he received from so many different clubs it'd take an offer like that to get ahead of the pack.
You must hate being happy, welcome aboard nonetheless.A very, very, VERY small part of me wants the season to be over because I am sick to death of hearing about Bailey Smith and I just want there to be an announcement he’s requested a trade to whichever flipping club. Honestly. I’ll give him some credit - what a way to keep yourself in the spotlight without even being able to play.
The best part of this is that I only started following the Dogs this year so I’m already used to the side without him in itwe all know he’s gone, stop drawing it out and just get on with it. Less time telling us what you’re doing, more time doing.
It might be a tough sell due to picks
I'd love to get Tim Taranto out of Tigers and place him on a wing for us
Direct replacement for Bailey Smith thenNo Thanks
Butchers the ball by foot
Huge contract too. Not for usNo Thanks

Remember that this year alone:
Busslinger was gone until he wasnt.
English was gone until he wasnt.
Getting wound up about every social media post, repost, rumour or media story is a fools errand.
Smith will remain a bulldog until he isn't.
I’d have done the same. 4yrs isn’t that long these daysThey are offering Richards a 4 year deal
Makes me guffaw thinking about the conversation around the dinner table at the Darcy household if it did happen
His dad is on our board.
With Dodo gone, I'm scared Essendon won't win trade week this year.
Jack just hasn’t played enough basketballI'll be very sad if I ever see him in other colours.
I do find it hard to believe that we can't find a role for a barely 30 year old Macrae when a 45 year old Pendlebury who can barely muster up more than a jog can be one of the better players in a Premiership team
But how long does that last for…you have to refresh the list. As hard as it is sometimesIf Daniel and Macrae are performing at a level that warren'ts selection why do the others need to play?
Does anyone else think Scrag might actually be Bailey Smith trolling us all?I'd actually be disappointed if Baz doesn't leave. He's a solid player but he's a bit overrated imo. His skills aren't good enough for an outside mid and his contested ability isn't good enough for an inside mid. His main asset is his fitness which allows him to accumulate a lot of cheap possessions but most of his kicks just lead to turnovers. I'd rather take the pick 15 to the draft.

I expect he will have an average 2025 and start off slow before going bang in 2026. It tends to be the case with ACL injuries that it takes some time to genuinely get back to the elite level even if you can play a year later. I absolutely hope he stays, he is going to re-find his form and is only young so has alot of improvement there, I think he is gone but still hold out hopes of a suprise.Tend to agree with this, although if he could actually manage to hit the scoreboard like he did in the finals series he's not overrated at all. The problem is, he's never got close to replicating it and even Smith himself said he didn't/doesn't kick many goals even as a junior.

I'd back in the club to get him right if he chose to stay.I said this last year during the trade period that a fresh start for Smith might be the best option for him. Mentally I'm not sure he's in the best place and I think Geelong's probably the right fit. They have a strong culture and he should get a starting midfield spot no worries.
