I’d much rather Smith on a wing than Hunter but that ship has sailed.

Not sure Langdon is doing a great deal at the moment either

 

I think if Smith leaves Dogs, you’ll find he wants to play midfield not wing

Just saying...

Two of those guys are playing on the inside, while one guy is swanning around like Fabio on a wing by himself.

Completely bad faith comparison...

The better comparison would be pur wingers, Langdon (73% DE) and Hunter (66.7% DE). The AFL ap says Smith's DE in 2023 is 66.4%, so not sure where you got yours from, but we signed Hunter for cheap and he's playing a solid role.

Have no idea why we'd want another winger.

If he came for free, sure, but he won't.

Should have read my post on page 2.  Saved yourself the effort 😂

Put a price on his head trade wise and maybe we can have a discussion. Would still rather go all in on trying to nab a Mckercher or Watson. 

Outside of H Reid, I really like Mckercher, Watson and Curtin. I'd be rapt to get either Reid or 2 of the others.

Wouldn't be the first to let his mullet down during a pre-season but you would want to be sure the (IN) pre-season antic doesn't continue on into the season proper or during a rehab period etc.

Subject to the above and if we got him pretty cheap.... maybe.

Don't see him as a regular mid though so that issue (if there is one) would also need ironing out before either party got serious.

Watched a bit of Curtain's highlights last night. Moves well for a tall.

Hawks prepared to give up pick 3 for Smith, according to Sam McClure on Footy Classified.

Take that and run dogs!

Interesting.

Dogs apparently favourites for pick 4 as well.

Stupid haircut, a no from me.


If the hawks are happy to use 3 on Smith, surely that’s good for our draft hand.

Would be an bold move, I think Smith is a bigger marketing asset than on field asset

No thanks. He can't kick. We have enough of those.

Besides, Geelong get what Geelong want. Wonder if Bailey wants a hobby farm. 

yep will grow Mo hair🤪

I don't have much to add - but doing a sportsmans night in some backwater (don't worry I live here) - seems really bizarre... or is it classed as 'fan engagement'?

"Watchya doing tonight darling"

"I'm going down to the Dunes to enjoy some 'content'." 😆

First view of this, I thought it was a joke. Still not sure……..

Does he give advice on which are the best nightclubs bathrooms to get some good gear and a reach around?

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Bailey Smith

Bumping this thread in light of the growing noise that Bailey will be leaving the Doggies at the end of the year:

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/04/15/two-key-dogs-expected-to-stay-but-club-none-the-wiser-on-bailey-smith/

Would you want the Dees to go after him? 

12 months ago I would have been a hard no, but with Gus retiring we’ve been exposed for midfield depth and despite some flaws Bailey is still a top end player who will be coming into the prime of his career and would add to our 18-25 age group of players 

Not sure I could ever feel comfortable supporting him or going through the annoying conversations with people having a laugh at his haircut, off-field antics, and his on-field... hmmm... can't quite find the word for it to bypass the censors.

Half-gluteal contributions to defence?

Plus; knee, season.

Our priority aside from the talls would be a more rounded and complete midfielder in the Andrew Brayshaw, Luke Davies-Uniake style. (RFAs, 2025)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
