Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Fair. I couldn't get through the whole thing first time around, so missed that.

I was going off "Hawthorn would give pick 3, there's no doubt in my mind". So it's not "Hawthorn have offered pick 3" or similar...it's just that they "would". I still think it's garbage, AND I think Hawthorn would want more back from us than just Baz for #3.

Yeah. Hawthorn would give Pick 3. But they'd want our pick 10 in the deal.

I'd be willing to give something else back in return but not a 1st rounder.

Only way I hand back a first, say 10, is them adding a F1 for a F3:

Dogs: 3, F1 (hopefully a top 10)
Hawks: Smith, 10, F3

So a F1, an upgrade from 10 into 3 for Smith & F3

I'd be surprised if Poop Scoop McClure has this one right.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Pick 3 is probably overs on current form.

However, his ceiling is anything.

I'd do the deal if Bailey indicated he was interested.

Then hello Wizard.

It all comes down to Baileys wishes no matter what.
I doubt we would get a better offer but I'm not taking Poop Scoop McClure's suggestion seriously.
You could tell he was up for a fight to defend the statement and it came across to me as an attention seeking suggestion.
He's another in what is becoming a long line of younger reporters who got ahead of themselves and who suffer from peacocks disease.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

That bloke talks complete junk week in, week out.

This is just a garbage attempt at a story. Unfortunately we’re talking about it.

Just think everything is BS, easier that way at this time of year. I mean it's nice to fantasise when a story sounds good but there is no way Hawthorn are offering #3 for Smith.

I steer clear of all AFL media and only get snippets on woof.
So I have no idea about Poop Scoop but I love the name and its enough to tell me what you think of him G!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Opened up my Flybuys offers email this morning and Bailey's face popped up promoting the Kings Domain Hair care range - the lad has more sponsors than targets he's hit I50.

So more than two?

That's effectively offering Duursma for Smith, who they're really keen on.
I'm not sure they do it without something going back the other way.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

At least 4 sponsors.

McDonalds
Monster energy drinks
Cotton On
Kings Domain hair care products

How many targets hit?

There are a lot of reporters I take seriously. I was listening to David Zita yesterday who just presented the facts as he sees them to the rumours flowing into SEN.

There are a few reporters who I don't rate though and I don't mind calling out their grandstanding and attention seeking.

McClure was a good reporter a few years back and really earned the nickname of Scoop but I don't know what changed him other than falling victim to the dreaded Peacocks disease.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

So our players come out and say he isn’t going .
The admin come out and say he isn’t going.
The list manager says he isn’t going .
Then this morning I read the media are still saying he will go but just change the story to 2025 not 2024.
It’s just cheap shots as the media always do .
It used to be they would see who is out of contract and put two and two together and say they were leaving, now they start with players with still a year to go on contract.
The Caro segments are getting worse and worse and are more wrong than right and not just a little wrong but miles from the truth . Eg Bailey Williams.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Pick 3 is about right for Smith. The media would have you believe that every top five pick lands you a Bontempelli or a Petracca. That would mean there's about 75 of them in the league. Have a look at the history of pick 3 and you see the median is someone like Chris Masten or Jack Billings. Good players, 200 gamers, but Baz at his best is a better player, and is yet to enter his prime.
