List Mgmt. Welcome Bailey Smith - officially (and finally) traded to Geelong

[froffies]

Oh no he's taken down the boxing post

Well then he's already being pulled into line. It's not appropriate, he had a semi ffs.

 

[cats_09]

Sorry if I've missed a previous post, but do we actually know what he's on? Surely no where near Danger and Cameron money. Would the 400-500k mark be realistic?

I think strategically he's a good get as much as from a playing perspective. He has the most followers in the AFL and is a marketers dream. I'm not a massive fan of his social media presence but I don't know him, he's just a kid and I don't know his story. Maybe he just needs to be in the right environment. Club knows more about him than us. I trust their judgement.

That wouldn't be realistic - the average wage is around $450k and a player like Smith isn't moving to play on the average salary

There's been no official report of his contract, but a realistic figure is likely to be around $700k - $800k per season for 5yr

Interesting. Do you think the contract term will be released eventually?

Only if a journo wants something to post about

Geelong is very good at not releasing unnecessary details - we may get a contract length, but even that's not guaranteed

Not necessarily. He often deletes posts.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

He’s also removed this post



Plus the one when his cat was a kitten, sitting on his shoulder

Smith probably going to take us close to 100k members!

In 2024, 90,798 members.

Up to 100k in 2025, of which 9,000 will be girls aged between 10 + 19yo

Damn, I missed it

We don't.

Humourless much?

Yes, a Tomahawk steak, crisp baked potatoes, broccolini, wilted baby spinach + a bottle of

I’m shattered I didn’t buy a bottle of thay
I got the GA Jnr one and have been on the search for a JSel bottle to add to the collection

It was simply taking the piss based on the repeated comments, especially directed towards Cam, about cutting his hair

Right

Yep, another day, another Baz must cut his hair comment.

I just find it amusing considering he's literally based his entire brand/image off his hair lol.

ain’t taking fashion tips from BigFooty randoms.

The guy is dominating doing exactly what he is doing already.

I really would love to know why so many people have a problem with AFL players having long hair?

If it doesn't make them play worse who cares.

 

[My Tilly]

I think there’s a good chance Geelong supporters will be a bit disappointed with Smith, at least in 2025.

That’s because (a) he’s not the superstar some think he is and (b) the ACL will be a drag.

Yeh nah, wrong again mate, Smith not only recaptures his best form from a few years ago, he will go close to winning our B&F.

No idea, it's bizarre it keeps getting mentioned

Guys with long hair are hot! Look a Mullin’s lustrous locks.

It’s more the mullet, which has lost its rebel status, a bit ho hum now.

Love the headband players.

It’s just preference + SM attracts comments on people’s appearance, quite poor really.

I’m liking Bailey’s hair now*, but still would love a blonde bob + headband.

That’s what you took from the post? It was an order that he cut his hair.

Get some fresh air mate.

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

That last line is a little for me

What really happened is he got Bevo'd

Bevo in a presser last year after a loss basically blamed the loss on the fact he hadn't made any changes for 3 weeks and i was WTF

The man can't coach without constantly shuffling players around.

Nah, as Cats09 said it's the repeated comments saying the same thing over and over about cutting players hair. Wouldn't matter who said it.

BTW - I took your post as taking the piss out of others

I didn't think you were being serious with it

You're the one getting cut up about it.
