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

    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.

    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.

    Interesting.

    Dogs apparently favourites for pick 4 as well.

    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'?

    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/2024/04/12/bulldogs-ceos-frank-admission-on-smith-contract-talks/

    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)

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
