I come in peace, and honestly don't mean to sound like a vulture, but...

Isn't Daniel on $750K+ for the last 2 years of his contract?

Could be an opportunity for the Bulldogs to offload that entire contract if there's a need to free up cap space in the coming years, but if that's the case it's sounding ominously similar to the Jack Bowes deal...(albeit Bowes doesn't come with the same Pedigree as Daniel... and Bulldogs aren't morons like GC)

Similar age, Same $$ & years left on contract, both playing local leagues.... GC gave Geelong Pick 7 to offload that whole contract.... now i'm not saying the same thing would happen, but if Crows were covering that entire contract, for a player not getting a game in the seniors, and he elects the Crows, and Bulldogs need the cap space...

The longer Daniel stays in the VFL the worse the trade outcome I think.
Welcome to post here anytime but it would be better to post things that don’t make you sound like a moron.

What is Bailey Smith going to get us?

His value is at its absolute lowest.

Article in the paper suggests hawks, pies or cats with hawks likely to have the best hand.

Though I can't see them giving a straight pick 2 or 3 for him.

In a national comp like the AFL with a centric base in Victoria and the push for Northern state development there are inconsistencies everywhere. However, focusing on Victoria and 3 clubs namely the Dogs, Saints and North and free agency.


I thought these clubs would never get a flag when free agency came in. I was wrong somehow we plucked a flag from nowhere in 2016. I cannot see it happening for a long time now as us, North and the saints rarely or never attract the top free agencies required to complete your list when you close to competing for flag. Yes, Treloar is the exception for us because of a e salary dump by the pies.

Look at Bailey Smith for example will go the pies, cats or hawks. Most likely to the 2022 or 23 premiers. Just about every time a top free agent moves clubs to a Victorian club you can bet he will end up at the Cats, Pies, Bombers, Blues or tigers and to a lesser extent the Hawks or dees.

North do not have an academy like a GC and can slowly accumulate a lot of first rounders but will lose the likes of Mckay, LDU and Zuhar and I cannot see them really challenging for a flag anytime soon. If the saints or the dogs go down the bottom again and have a rebuild we will be in the same position. Put together 4 to 5 topliners but continue to lose talent through trading and never recruiting the top end talent through trading.

Yeah, sure good recruiting of lesser players who develop into good players help, plus good coaching and administration help but I cannot see any of the dogs, saints or roos winning a flag in the foreseeable future.

As Rex would say Yibberty, Yibberty that is my say and whine for the day.

Thought I’d better listen to the audio if I’m going to make comment! Won’t be listening to that garbage again. Blokes who think they’re funny talking over the top of each other. Draper should stick to his own mob that haven’t won a final in the age of colour television. That being said, we need to sort a lot out at WO and do it soon.

They have won a final in the age of colour though everyone has, but the real question is whether it was in time for DVD rather than VHS?

Your post-to-username-correlation is dropping precipitously.
 
Smith will net about the same as Dunkley Imo but probably slightly better because there's more than 1 club looking at him and 1 of those is a bottom 4 club. It's likely Geelong will be the front runners. Got to hope they don't win the flag.
 
Listening to Bevo's presser on questions on Bailey without saying it he knows his gone without saying it directly. Not word for word but something like it is hard when other clubs come for your players and from the player side they have a short window to maximise their income.
 
What if Smith nominated Collingwood? They don’t have a first round pick this year.

They’d probably offer their F1 & the Hawks 2nd this year, at best.
Honestly would take it. They're at the point that a handful of their players are at the end of their career and they don't use a game plan that older players can play like Geelong does. It's likely Sidebottom, Mitchell & pendles last year. Maybe Cox's too. It's likely they'll be about the same they're playing this season.
