His level of experience and expertise is near enough to priceless I'd dare say and will be in hugely high demand for some time to come. As for padding out his retirement fund - well he's had years to do that at Melbourne and that entire time he's been week in week out their best player who get's through an amount of work that shames a lot of players much younger than him. Objectively he's still as good today as he was 5 years ago and hasn't even hinted at slowing down. His whole value after football rests on his legacy as a footballer, so there is basically no chance he's going to want to come to a new club and not give a good account of himself because that wouldn't help to further push that legacy along. In this sense, Smith's level of self interest is actually likely to be a good thing for whatever club he goes to. [/QUOTE]
