Why bother posting if you're just going to whinge and make non factual statements?

Is there a dumbass award I'm not aware of on here?

 

I have been told that Isaac Smiths body is as sound as a 26yr old due to his late start into the AFL

Jordan Lewis just said on SEN He had reached out to Isaac Smith to see if he wanted any counsel on the decision and he never heard back from him! lol. I would’ve thought if he was as close to selecting Dees as we’re made to believe you’d reach out to an old teammate who spent time at the club... he also said he understands that whilst the Hawthorn offer is 2 years the trigger for a 3rd is pretty easy. 

Same thing happened to Gawn. Tried to contact Smith a few times, got no response.

Bit of a worry.

Just had a massive bout of deja vu when reading this post.

Has nothing to do with the topic, but just thought I'd let everyone know.

For the record, the deja vu also included a feeling that he doesn't sign with us and we're all disappointed.

Maybe he lost his phone after a big night out? Happens to the best of us.

Out of interest, what's @Dr evil's track record like?

Or is this trolling at its finest?

Pretty good so far. Things change a mile a minute this time of year, but his info has been solid to this stage.

Could be so.

I'm not sure what the issue is with me asking the question.

I've read this site for a long time and have never noticed @Dr evilpost with intel. And if he has, does anyone know what his track record is like?

Pretty easy question.

Not sure about this part based on some of the replies in this thread!

Can see him going to the Cats now though.

Ha ha, I know, it was strange.

Certainly not disputing the overall feedback in the thread re: him signing with us, and I hope I'm wrong as Smith would be a very handy addition to the side.

@Dr evil definitively said that Smith is coming and it'll be announced this week so I'm not sure why posters are saying "things can change".

Isn't that right @Dr evil?

Yes. i am 100% confident Issac Smith will be a demon in 2021.

He's in the perfect age bracket for the Cats key demographic. Even more so once the 3rd year of the contract hits.

You will receive great adulation in due course.

A late start to AFL level will have no influence on his body or the likelyhood of him losing speed / getting injured

There's no way he's going to Geelong.

Why?

Because Dr Evil made plain, he is going to Demonland for ONE....BILLION....DOLLARS!

How many years will we sign Smith for?

Has Dr evil been accurate in previous years? I only ask because this year the only names he has brought to the table have already been mentioned by others, apart from two players which he won’t name. This is a genuine question.

Goodwin? Is there a single player in our forward 6 who'd get a game in either of the two teams in the GF? I think not, Fritsch might be the only one.

This is the major issue. We love to blame our midfield for us not having a forward line.

I'm not usually one for hyperbole but there's a decent argument for us having a top 5 midfield, top 5 defence and the least potent forward line in the comp.

While it would be nice, we don't need to have big 50+ goalkickers down there, we just need to start making defences accountable. This is why I think Ben Brown is a no-brainer. Even if not at his best, you have to man him up.

You can go back and look at his posts, and yes he is pretty good with his intel. Plus - he is part of a "group" of about 3-4 posters who seem to get the same information at the same time. So either he is very good at reading tea leaves, or he has a What's App group with people at the MFC.

A good start would be for the second rate fowardline that we do have Kicked the goals that they should given our somewhat limited opportunities

Allincluding ANB, Weid,Trac and Fritter waste early chances and the result is we are always under pressure

Frit misses 2-3 each game ANB also and Weid thats 6 goals a game

Agree.

I am not the biggest Fritsch fan, because I think he gets selected too easily as the best of a bad bunch. I doubt Geelong would have him in their starting forward 6. Definitely does not get a gig at Richmond.

Mitch Clearly just that Isaac Smith to Geelong is potentially in play.

Makes sense as to why he’s held off to this point and why he hasn’t responded to Lewis and Gawn.
