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)

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
