Came third in the one at the end of January in the same week he had a new baby.

So having a baby didn't effect his fitness.

    Lost the babe weight immediately. 

    We’re too far away from being a contender to bring in a 32 year old. Could have been insurance if we were, but alas were not, so it’s a no from me.

    Duplicate 

    A friend told me of some twin girls born at RCH. Kate and Duplicate

    Agree that we are no position to bring in Smith. Wouldn't be on my wish list, but stranger things have happened!

    I've not initiated quoting you since you got me a ban. I've asked you twice to put me on ignore

    Please do not quote me. I will no longer quote you. Honestly, how hard is it?

    Let it go buddy

    May I ask what caused the duplicate? Did you mistakenly hit the Quote button where the Edit button used to be (now the 3 horizontal dots above the right side of your post)?

    Yep that was it. Although I’ve used the 3 dots to edit a few times, muscle memory got me on this occasion and I tapped the usual spot to edit and quoted myself.

    Happening to me too on occasion. I was worried there was some software or server related issue that was causing these "double posts". Glad it's just user error (muscle memory as you so eloquently put it) as a result of the new version of the software's new placement of edit and report functions.

    Not sure why they made such a drastic change but there is nothing I can do about it.

    Better than misquoting yourself methinks

    From AFL.com regarding Smith.

    Ideally searching for a two-year contract and it could still come at Hawthorn. But Smith admitted on RSN radio this week he wasn't 100 per cent sure what his future held. Carlton and Melbourne are among the parties having a look at the triple premiership wingman who turns 32 in December but is only 10 years into his career.

    On paper I dont mind it, however the club would have to be dead certain about contending within the next 2 or so years to justify brining a player in of his age on half decent money and for a half decent pick (I doubt Hawks would let him go for anything less than a 2nd and we don't have much to spare). Smith does look like he's slowing down a bit and injury at back end of this season may be a bit concerning. We certainly could do worse, however I'd rather we spent that 2nd round pick looking at a much higher priority like a Key Forward. Pass for mine.

    I prefer Smith to Polec. While he is older, I think he’s better and think he’s likely to be able to have a very long career.

    Smith is a free agent.

    My mistake ! Thanks for that. If we can get him in for a reasonable price I wouldnt mind it in that case.

    I don’t think I could handle more leadership from a 30+ Hawk on a superannuation contract.

    Understandable, but he doesn’t seem quite so invested in himself as Lewis was. 
     

    Long and accurate kick with a bit of pace - hard to argue against?

    I’d be worried his pace might not last at 32 and length was always the strong point of his kicking. He’d get some long kicks in quickly but I wouldn’t expect him to hit many short leads

    Too old. Injuries will hit soon.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
