I had early mail on Smith going to the Cats a week ago but Australia Post is so slow these days. 

 

But they sure know what time it is!

Chris Scott must have really got into Isaac Smith’s ear !!! 

 

Hes 32yo can join all the the 30+ yo at the Cats.....not the difference of us winning a flag

Issac Smith will be a demon in 2021. 

I don't know 100% what the delay is about, but the dees do tend to wait for the window to make things public. 

I suspect before Sunday Issac will be rolled out in a red and blue polo. 

Well this is turning out to be a total load of crap isn't it! Mental note: When you word your initial post like this, you don't get to use the out of 'oh you know, it's silly season. Things change'. Criticism deserved.

Appreciate that dazzle. Apologies for the disappointment I’ve caused to any posters. its a strange time of the year 

Yeah I can't quite get all the disappointment! Things change at rapid pace, I'm confident your info was probably right at that point in the week but then the 11th hour bids out of no-where come in. Credits in the bank, keep on posting and don't worry about all the other stuff, you're Dr Evil! You should be focusing on taking over the world (or something like that) :p.

COVID this year suited the ageing cats line up with a shortened season and shortened quarters. Things could be different next season and adding another pensioner to their list is a surprise

Criticism of Dr Evil is rightly deserved. It is the silly season and whispers and inside information is certainly appreciated but this guy continually doubled down and categorically stated that Smith would 100% be a Demon. 

Things most certainly are fluid at this time of the year but It will be almost impossible to take anything Dr Evil says seriously ever again.

Shaun Higgins also

If all this topping up fails to deliver a flag,  Geelong will be in a world of pain in a few years, still Smith, Higgins and Cameron is quite the bounty.

Geelong's version of 'brown paper bags' at it again!

Glad we didn't keep throwing more money at him. 

Geelong will carry this handicap for some time - we will not. One less 'perhaps two years' on the table for the MFC, with another year at the respite home and medical guidance. I could not see Smith playing out a full season across four quarters each game with any likelihood. Handy, but not essential to our needs. Brown is another issue, a lock-step forward with potency. It is not a great problem that we missed out on Smith - it is a problem for the Cats, far sooner than later.

The way I see it @Dr evil MAY have been correct at a given point in time, and then Isaac Smith changed his mind. If that's what happened then perhaps then the good doctor was quasi-correct.

A person with far less tact and class than myself would observe that "Dr. Evil" is a very close anagram of "drivel".

I have no problem with the mail that @Dr evil provided. It was the method by which that mail kept arriving.

He was completely  smug in his protestations that Smith would 100% be a Demon. He didn't endear himself with me and it seems many others on here with his assertions that ultimately proved 100% wrong.

You cannot be half pregnant. 

He may have good mail and good contacts and I would not have minded if he got this one wrong, as things can definitely change very quickly at this time of the year, if he hadn't been so arrogant with his declarations.  

I wonder if he would make the same decision today with the knowledge that GWS have matched the Cameron offer.

Arrogant? Pretty rough I reckon mate. Pretty sure 99% of posters could recognise I was having a bit of a laugh. I was confident in my info but things clearly changed but I certainly don’t think I was arrogant. Outside of a few posters I think most worked out I wasn’t taking things too seriously pretty quickly.

Don’t be so sure mate. I’m genuinely shocked at some of the reactions haha. Some legitimate cry babies on here. Toys out the cot completely

Look mate, you're the one who looks like the grand goose on this forum and the joke is most clearly and certainly on you, not the posters overreacting. 

You say you "weren't taking things too seriously" but stated on several occasions in bold that Smith was 100% going to be a demon and not to worry. Think about how silly that is for a minute. Very silly. 

The irony is that YOU were the one that took things too seriously, so rather than deflect in all of this and make out as if you were just "having a laugh", swallow some of that pride and take the criticism that you, and only you, set yourself up for. 

Several posters on this forum have good intel but post when a deal is being finalised. Maybe take that approach next time eh?

Dr Evil made a call and got it wrong - [censored] happens. 

On the other hand he created some humour and interesting discussion.

??? Mate. A lot of my posts were jokes with other posters. I posted info I was very confident in and I’ll cop criticism for it and have been via this and via pm. I even went as far as apologising at one point. So definitely taking the criticism on board.
 

All people who have been having a crack at me have really achieved is made other posters who have information feel the need to be ultra cautious about posting it which is pretty horrible on a fan forum. 

I’m hearing Smith is still a chance. Back yourself in @Dr evil and don’t give up, as a famous philosopher once said, haters gonna hate, hate hate hate hate.

BBO, are you suggesting that Demonland is being increasingly hijacked by overly angry, humourless and self - righteous twats? 

What done is done.
