The Bailey Smith Thread

[Neitas bump 153]

23 yo

Collects the footy

Has speed and endurance 

Plays forward as well so can rotate through there.

We have salary from brayshaw and ANB leaving. 

Go and get him!

[dazzledavey36 52,908]

No

[FreedFromDesire 662]

We need kicking skills more than leg speed. Kicking wins over running every time.

Smith's kicking efficiency is as bad as Oliver's and he's not even an inside mid.

Very very hard no from me, not that we have a chance anyway.

[adonski 10,901]

A poor field kick but an explosive & quick goal kicking mid

He'll be great for Jeelong unfortunately 

[Nascent 8,652]

[Demon Disciple 11,733]

A bloke that kamikaze runs to his right before skying the ball 50m down the line or into the forward line?

Pass.

[spirit of norm smith 15,276]

Cats will retire Hawkins and use his $$$ to get Smith.  They always get their man. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[sisso 2,555]

Got the big Cotton On sponsorship deal to go to the Cats would have no interest in coming to us

[DubDee 24,455]

He will go to the Cats and I hope he is a culture killer. Can’t remember them having a bloke like him on the books

This should be interesting

Stengle 

[layzie 33,022]

Think he'll be in hoops next year mate

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,423]

We used to recruit players that could run but simply could not kick. They would just run around all day on the field while we got flogged.

Yep, culture killers those types. 

[Little Goffy 14,057]

My main concern is that he appears to be an utter [censored].

jack steven was a former aints skipper who had a slew of off-field issues, including being stabbed in the chest shortly after the trade to the puddy tatts was completed

he didn't even complete a full season down in sleepy hollow and retired at the end of his first season with a year to go on his contract

No chance to get him (will go Cats 100% - why would he come to us? He's guaranteed a prelim next year with the cats, probably, and media pressure/scrutiny and drama/who knows what kind of performance with us), but it's fine, don't want him anyway, he's not the kind of guy we need to lift us next year - we need leaders who play a reliable brand of footy and can inspire others to do the same. 

[bluey 1,033]

We don’t need to recruit another [censored].

Wasn't he caught binging at the local TAB/Pub day after day while he was suppose to be in rehab as well?

[Pipefitter 2,139]

How do the cats get this trade going?

sounds like the sort of thing he would do

his fall from skipper to the slums was super sad

[Neitas bump 153]

He's an A grade midfielder (former number 8 pick) that is about to enter his prime.

We are losing our only runner and we are already slow. He instantly makes us better.

People saying we should go get MacRae surely are not serious when there is a player of this calibre also on the table. Why settle for MacRae. Go and get the cream of the crop Melbourne
