I said a month or two back to a mate Bailey Smith would be perfect for Sydney and its almost like the perfect storm.
Franklin one or two years left
He'd love the quieter non footy lifestyle
Marketing opportunities would be even more endless
Sydney scene seems to suit him well
Worst of all, Sydney are stealth MoFo when it comes to this. Remember everyone thought Franklin was going to GWS!!
More of an In Bruges guy?
They exploited the salary CAP to get franklin to the max. Not only drafting players stealthily, but with their live trades in one of the last 2 drafts . They are just so good at playing the numbers in shuffling the draft order. Look at all the young kids they got that are playing now !
Even McCartin was a stroke of pure genius. In good faith on talent and that he would heal.
Hickey has come good, amazing money ball pick.
They managed to pick up pull Dawson, Gulden, Ronke, Warner and Papley from out of the blue, just to name a few.
So wait, Luke Jackson is a tRaiToR?

What about Bailey Smith has suggested to you he doesn't like being the centre of attention in a football state?
I'd be really surprised if he left his family network, but you never know I guess. If any move was made it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was to a Hawthorn, Richmond or Collingwood due to those clubs being based on the eastern side of town.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

It's being reported that Collingwood have pulled their Jordan De Goey contract offer.
Collingwood has taken its long-term contract to Jordan De Goey off the table in the wake of his Bali antics. It will meet with the wayward star and decide any potential punishment.
As talented as he is and despite the risks there will be a couple of clubs very interested in him.
