Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Bailey on the Gold Coast.

Career ending move.

Nah - he'd get an extra "ambassador payment" from the AFL and become the first ever $2m player in the competition's history.

Between Witts/Moyle and Miller, Rowell, Anderson & Flanders have (on paper) the best midfield in the comp. No idea if they'd actually do any damage with it though

No chance that happens.

If we get pick 6 we walk away with a massive smile.

Depends on who we trade with unfortunately.

If he chooses GC then he's probably done us a massive favour.

He is worth more than that based on other players traded over the years.

Gold Coast would be a dead set dream. It makes a lot of sense for many reasons, if winning at footy isn’t a big priority for Baz. Not sure I believe it just yet.

Like Dunkley the best and fairest v a guy with an ACL?

Gold Coast will try and get a pick in before Lombard though, who should get a bid around the pick 10 mark.
I'd imagine their current pick 10 (11 after an Ashcroft bid) forms their first offer and we ask for picks to add to that.

If Rioli nominates Gold Coast as well, that makes things tough

Since Warrick Capper there has not been a more Gold Coast player in looks than Bailey Smith.

I actually thought Jeremy Sharp was the official club mascot before he got a hair cut and was traded to Freo.

I forgot about Jeremy Sharp, Brandon Ellis also sprung to mind.

They can manage that with their picks. They have 4 first rounders and can take Lombard on points. Say:

Smith, Picks 33 & 45: GCS & North compo 1sts 2024, Pick 30
Rioli, 30 & 39: 2024 Dogs & GCS F1, Pick 25

Pick 33, 34 & 39 used to buy Lombard. 45 & 46 to Draft. (Or live trade around)

That?s Smith, Rioli & Lombard. At least two 3rd round picks this year. All but their first next year. Who knows, maybe they get an F1 if they move a talented player on.


Us: Say Pick 8, 20 & 30 - for - Smith, 33 & 45


The math is harder for GCS, if god forbid, they get two big fish on the hook. But they can do it, they just need to pay up.

There has been some talk of Lukosius returning to Adelaide that could play a part.

Houston leaving for the asking price of two firsts to a Vic team could give them more than enough currency if they want him.

You think Baz wants the cash and media attention on the GC over winning flag/s at virtually other club? This part I struggle with. I know it’s about Brand Baz and cash with him, but surely he wouldn’t mind winning too?

Oh yeah that's happening. He's in the twos atm.

Crows are all over it.

Oh pick 2?

Oh. God it's Brayshaw.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

FWIW Smith is rumoured to have had a medical with the Suns.

Where is this rumour from? It would be a much better result for us but everything I have read is that he's 99% locked to the Cats.
