I'd go a 2 year KPI-based contract. One year guaranteed, second based on KPIs on the first to trigger the second. That may not prise him from Hawthorn, who knows.

I'd prefer Tom McDonald for Polec and North paying the gap in Polec's contract, but Smith could be a good back up option.

    Smith is an interesting one.

    He is obviously further down the road of his career, and as Moonie says above, he is probably one calf tear or bad hamstring pull away from having to call it quits.

    On the other hand, he would bring great experience, a high work ethic and he would be a fantastic person for someone like Oskar Baker to learn off for a few years.  

    If you got him for peanuts on a deal you mention above, then I wouldn't be averse to it.

    No!

    Will be 32 this year.

    We are not the MFC Retirement Home or Super Fund.

    No thanks way too old, output will probably drop off a cliff next season.

    Its working ok for Brisbane? 

    Are you talking about Burchill? 
    Think their success is more to do with Fagan and the other players than Burchill or Hodge.

    Would have loved him even a couple of years ago but it's simply a no now.

    Hodge clearly has played a role in their acceleration. However to be contending and have a role available for an experienced twilight player from strong culture is part of the broader picture. Smith on a 2 year deal when we have one wingman and a maybe wingman in Baker I can see the interest.

    No surprise.

    You would think we would be interested in anyone with elite kicking skills and half a yard of pace.

    Personally I'd rather take Polec given his age, however given Smith will cost nothing I can see why we might give it a crack.

    He also has a lot of premiership experience which could be handy and as he ages could be played off half-back to extend his career.

    Facts remain that we need on field leadeship, and leadership in general so i am not opposed to bringing in veteran players who can provide that on the proviso it's a reasonable assumption that the player would be in our best 22 for their specific position most likely for the duration of their contract. 

    if you're talking about a 2 year deal, on low money, i feel like Smith would be good enough to hold that wing position for 2021 for sure.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
