So a guy who can kick and is composed, for a guy who can’t and runs around like a headless chook?

Go watch the ‘21 prelim - Smith 4 goals including clutch match winner -  Salem can kick but never uses it to hurt opposition -  consistently hits 15-20m targets - often lateral -  and doesn’t get on the park enough and will have ongoing thyroid management issues - ship him out while he’s  some value.

No thanks we need a no di@#head policy at the Dees, definitely don’t want anymore unwanted attention.

Also no more players with poor disposal into the forward 50, Caleb Daniel on the other hand would be nice& half the price 

Is that the same Caleb Daniel whose apalking kick out of defence resulted in Angus’ game changing goal in the 2021 GF?   He shanked quite a few.

Pretty sure he was selling tickets to some show down on the Bellarine called the Bailey Smith Experience...with a pic of him with no shirt on...your guess is as good as mine what was in the show:

I think thats a bit weird isnt it?

And he gave up chasing Langdon out of backline in the beautiful 4th quarter only to see Langdon mark and goal 20 seconds and 130 metres later. 

Still would be upgrade for us.

You have conveniently forgotten the wonderful games Christian has played and been significant in the success of our team.

Our 2021 Premiership was set up by Salo’s  magnificent first quarter and indeed his whole game. That’s what makes a star on the biggest stage and shows too many people focus on the negatives of players rather than the positives. 

In very rare circumstances the player sometimes requests a trade and the Club may benefit however to openly move a highly skilled and valued match winner plus great Clubman does not send a great message to other players wanting to join your Club.

Christian is often tied up with helping nurture and develop one of our up and coming stars on the side in his own time with no recognition generally until that player makes our team or wins a Rising Star nomination.

Lets saviour the great and good games Salo gives us as much as his high quality Club sprit and contributions he makes overall instead of narrowing in on his unfortunate injuries and style of play in setting up team plays where many in the game waste their talent with erratic disposal.

I’d swap out Salem and pick for Bailey in a heartbeat-  his best is A grade

I will say this again; culture.

You cannot preach about having a good culture, and then trade out a contracted Salem for Bailey Smith. Ludicrous suggestion.

He misses quite often later in matches.  Seems to start off ok.

Might be (one reason) why he's sitting on the bench or not in the starting 22 as often this season?

daniel's disposal efficiency and defensive workrate have plummeted in the last couple of years from his best seasons

it will be interesting to see where he sits going forward in the make-up of the dogs' side

Haha I actually wasn't really knocking it, I just had no idea what the heck "the Bailey Smith Experience" would entail.  Not sure why he needs a photo of him with a shirt off, maybe he stripped for part of the show??

Good on him though, why not sell some tickets to whatever that is in the meantime...I really am very curious to know what it was!

no doubt smith has plenty of talent ... when he wants to

problem is the guy is so uncommitted and unprofessional. you never know which bailey smith is going to turn up

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
