Speculation Bailey Smith

[Dazb86]

Smith will sign for peanuts with the Dogs out of good faith.

 

[smish]

Smith will get to where he wanted to go last trade period…

Jungle drums.

Jungle drums.

Tbh, being offered 2 years by the dogs is basically telling him to leave

Not really.

And word is that is about to be revised up

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

If they both leave, interested to see the difference in value between Smith and Baker

Baker = Lots.
Smith = Not lots.

Interesting

Let's try this again with your plastic hat off

Or; you can attempt to be subjective regarding a Dogs player.

Which is going to happen first?

 

[mcgrath_truther]

i think there’s some stock in smith returning to his best form but basing off what we saw last season he’s a world away as it stands

 

[The 747]

Baker = Lots.
Smith = Not lots.

Baker is a better player but I suspect worth less in a trade. Mid-late first is on the money for both IMO.

No chance Baker goes for that little.

We will see, types like Baker are often underrated at the trade table.

Yeah, well 2 years was never getting signed regardless. Not sure why they would start there unless they were putting a contract in front of him they didn't want him to sign

Collingwood getting him would be weird to me, I wouldnt be accepting a Pies future 1st if I was the Dogs, too much risk it's a horrible pick in the 20s so who would they need to push someone out to make it work? Generally managers dont want their clients picking somewhere unless there is a relatively obvious path to getting traded

If (and it's a big if) Smith sets his sights on the Pies. The trade currency we have to hopefully get it done would be:

Future 1st (pick 15-22) Hawthorn's 2nd 2024 (pick 25-27). I think if we give up both of those we are close to a deal.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Collingwood definitely the less desirable option should he leave. Two picks in the 20s is not great.

The Geelong picks don't look too good at the moment either.

How is ed Allen going in the vfl ? Would be interested working him into a deal possibly

Usually picks up mid 20 possession games playing wing and less frequently mid/inside mid. Still a bit skinny for his 194cm frame. He is showing signs. He is contracted to the end of 2026 I believe.

Been told by a player manager that the Dogs are in the process of revising their offer to Smith. (Player manager) believes that Smith is happy to stay at the Dogs, if the deal is right.

Doubt we'll match the other offers on the table, but I do agree that the two we offered him was a dick move. I'd offer him 3 with a trigger for 4 on good money and see what pans out.

Although, at the end of the day, might just need a ''fresh start''

Maybe he wants Dogs to lock him up long term on big money then requests a trade the next offseason?
Guys do that in NBA a lot. Get their bag then ask out. Guaranteed to still get paid but join a new club because "reasons"

Not to provide directly contradicting info

But from what I was told, will take Bevo being sacked for him to stay at this point

This can be arranged... Our list should be top 6 at a minimum

NBA teams willing to do that cause they can trade players without player permission. Harder for AFL clubs to consider this as they usually negoaite with the one team the player chooses.

I'd assume we'd offer 4 no triggers but I don't know anything. Hawks might offer more again
