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.

    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.

    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/2024/04/15/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)

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
