So having a baby didn't effect his fitness.

Thanks mate! And with Stratton and Puopolo now retiring they will be keen to keep him you'd think.

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.

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!

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)?

And there you have it. Officially paranoid, as well as wrong

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Please do not quote me.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

Again. Stop quoting me.

Please either put each other on ignore or you can both go. 

I don’t usually do this publicly but I’m sick of you guys all whinging to me about each other.

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.

hawks won't ask for a 2nd rounder for a 32 yr old

His a UFA. No pick required. 

His Leadership will be more valuable than his output on the field, of which he will still offer a lot

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.
