Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

[hujsh]

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.

Looking through BigFooty (as I figured DR might have seen it there first) the person who wrote it there first said

Bailey Smith has apparently had a medical at the Suns.

Don't have a source I can credit.

No idea if the poster is credible nor if the people who later 'confirmed' with their 'usual sources' are credible.

Would be good for us as Geelong will nickle and dime us trying to get him for a second rounder or something.

Sounds like it's made up.

The feedback I've had regarding Smith leaving us all indicates that he won't be moving interstate. One of his player sponsors is adamant that he will stay in Victoria.

Ok, now for the million-dollar questions.

Would woofers like to keep Baz at Western Oval, and what would you give money wise to keep him?

Until recently I would have preferred that Smith would stay with us but given his heart isn't in it we should facilitate a trade and try and get a good deal.

I would like him gone already.

I've got a close source and it's always been Geelong.

He's been out the door for a long time.

He's always thought he's better than a western suburbs team and sooking it up about playing HF showed his heart wasn't in it.
Shame he had such a promising start.

But now it's buh bye and let's hope we get something resembling parity for him.
A top ten pick would be ideal.

Very unlikely, but it depends on who he picks.
A first has to be involved.

It sounds like Baz is as good as going to Geelong as Barrass is to the Hawks, and unfortunately we don't hold many cards with a trade due to the fact he's coming off the ACL (even though most players recover fine after doing one) and that he'll most likely only choose Geelong, as much as Sam Power can be a hard nut to negotiate with i can't really see us playing the walking him through to the PSD card, we just aren't that club.

From the outside it sounds like we want him out as much as he wants out, so i think our best bet is working closely with the Cats in some kind of deal involving a few clubs to satisfy all parties, whether it being swaps of picks or another player involved somehow.

Are you telling me that all those Hawks in the know posters on BF saying 'Smith asked for a trade to the Hawks in private and he's coming to the Hawks so it's either now or end of 24' were all talking shit? I can't believe that so you must be lying.

Pfft, not even in the same realm as Bont.

Well who knows really he may change his mind every week.
The cats have always been on the table though.

[The Adelaide Connection]

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

I was genuinely stunned when I heard Lukosius had been dropped- admittedly I haven't seen a Suns game in three or four weeks, but he has been an absolute stalwart and plays well at either end of the ground. At one point all of their play went through him at HB.

Has his form dropped off? Has he stopped doing the team thing? Is there some sort of personality clash?

If Baz wanted to go to the Suns would we be at all interested?

Yeah, I saw that mate- that is why I mentioned Lukosius. Assuming he is open to more than just heading back to Adelaide, would he be someone we would be interested in and potentially incorporate into a trade?

I'd be very open to getting him in.

My gut says he's already going to an Adelaide side though

Feels like a Dimma play.

No way you drop this guy.
