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

[Kobe Gryant]

I actually don't rate Pitt that highly.

8.5 eh

I didn't say anyone else agreed.

 

[frggr]

One comment on Twitter was a 3 letter word starting with 'D'...

I had no issue reporting it

Not sure if I've got rose coloured glasses on our something, but were we as Geelong fans (at least on here) ever this bad when Kelly requested a trade back to WA?

I don't recall seeing much bad stuff, a few comments about his partner, but that's more reflective of society's attitude toward women than anything else.

Geelong fans in general seem to be a bit better than other fans in this space. Rare to hear Geelong fans boo opposition or players who've left for greener pastures.

Club culture and supporter culture seem to mirror each other.

We must give Bailey a chance

I believe that his dedication to training could morph into a terrific attitude in the right place.

I acknowledge your reticence, was an absolute ‘no’ to him originally. Then transitioned to ‘In Wells I trust’.

Hoping he thrives at Geelong, he’s been given a second chance.

This is exactly it.

I think with the way Luke Beveridge conducts himself, you can get a fair idea of how things are at Footscray. A bit more "old school" football club vibes and culture.

That sort of environment isn't going to be the right fit for the new breed of young players.

Stengle is an example. Thrived at Geelong, then one aberration, Geelong supported him + he was back to applying himself + good form

Certain personalities require guidance instead of a guilt trip.

I think he’ll thrive with us.

Most personalities, I'd say.

Guilt and shame only prolong the issues.

Bulldogs fans are now celebrating that Bont & Libba have reportedly unfollowed Bailey on social media - it’s the weirdest flex

I compare that with Geelong players who’ve moved to new teams and they’re still followed on social media channels by now former Geelong teammates, even the club etc

Subtract 2 followers from 345 thousand people.

"Yeah!! That'll show him!"

- Some nuffie on twitter.

It helps that we don't usually lose good, wanted players. Kelly would have been the last, and that hurt a bit but we quickly turned that into Cameron and then won the flag while WCE fell off a cliff and are still down there. It would have been a bit crass to hear Geelong fans boo the guy as we burned his team to the ground in a half of football in round 24.

If we fell down the ladder and stayed there more regularly, and then had players leaving us for greener pastures, we might see more vocal resentment of such moves

Nor do I, but Henry Cavill

 

[goyoucatters]

Good player at his best. Some of the off-field stuff makes me nervous though. He's probably the riskiest trade we've done since Ottens. Fingers crossed it works out just as well.

In terms of taking a player with premium value still attached, I absolutely agree.

And then the looming spectre of the Oliver trade says, 'Hold my beer...'

 

[Down at K Park]

Hopefully his knee holds up. Always a bit of a risk with players coming back from ACL's. And hopefully he gets a less stupuid haircut. Bogan mullets are more of a hawthorn scum thing.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

No idea about you + foxdog50 saying

Finally realised

Long blond hair, he will fit in well at the Cats... He will have to get used to wearing a headband though..

Have you seen that episode of 'Friends' with Brad Pitt?

There's a bit where Chandler mentions that it's better for his ego if they don't stand right next to one another.

That's how I feel about Bailey. I like my title as an 8.5, don't make me feel like a 3 please Baz.

Seriously, don't worry about your looks. You'll attract who you're gonna attract regardless. They'll drift in just by you being YOU. Don't stress the small stuff at all, mate.

Zouz Kitty? Munich? Ladies, as you were

I’m wondering what’s on his fingers

I'm not sure what the issues with this guy are other than he loves a mirror. Heaps of players do.
So would I if I looked like that.
But they're carrying on like he's a club wrecking ball

 

[cats_09]

Why didn't folk just listen to Dangerfield last month

 

[patience]

Oh this is going to be fun.
