Hawthorn reportedly remains interested in trying to lure Western Bulldogs star Bailey Smith this off-season.
A Bailey Smith suitor reportedly hasn’t given up its pursuit of the Dogs star. Plus two recently delisted players are drawing interest elsewhere.Nine journalist Sam McClure revealed on the Tradies podcast that the Hawks’ pursuit of Smith was still alive, though didn’t suggest the 22-year old was going to leave Whitten Oval.
Smith, who’s contract expires at the end of next season, grew up barracking for Hawthorn, and McClure confirmed the club hadn’t yet put a line through trying to land the former Pick 7 in the coming weeks. “I’m always a big one for picking the guy who’s a known quantity at AFL level and you’re going to get 10 years out of him, versus Pick 3, which could be hit or miss,” he added.
And the 29-year old, who played 115 AFL games and was hampered by injury during his time at Whitten Oval, is now in Geelong’s sights.
