Unless there is an unexpected twist, or the trade founders on the rocks of recalcitrance, Western Bulldog Bailey Smith will be moving down the Geelong Road to play for the Cats in 2025.
Unless there is an unexpected twist, or the trade founders on the rocks of recalcitrance, Bailey Smith will be moving down the Geelong Road to play for the Cats in 2025.
Why Geelong, who have 11 players aged 30 or more, and not the mighty rising Hawks, or the more talented team that gave him his career start?Smith hasn’t played this season as he recovers from a serious knee injury.One is that he wants to play as a frontline midfielder, rather than as a wing or high half-forward.
Hawthorn, in the meantime, have West Coast’s key defender Tom Barrass on the hook and will be forced to give up their first pick to consummate that trade. Josh Battle, a free agent tall back, alsoClubs have only so much draft capital and the Hawks have a more immediate need for a key defender than a zippy midfielder. So their choice, too, has probably influenced the influencer’s.
Geelong tend to protect the player, rather than adopting the path of righteous posturing and putting out statements about standards and so forth.
