I know one of his best mate's mum's is one of Melbourne's best Psychologists so he's got a good network.
I'd pay 20k for a hug. ( maybe I've already had one )

Dude seems intent on being who he is - forget the mullet, the man is different…and he owns it. I dig it.
I’m not too worried, he seems to have a fair bit figured out
Police investigate alleged Gold Coast pub incident involving AFL star Bailey Smith
Police are investigating an alleged incident at a popular Gold Coast venue involving AFL superstar player Bailey Smith.
The Courier Mail can reveal a formal complaint has been made to police after the alleged incident occurred outside the Burleigh Pavilion on the long weekend of the NRL Grand Final.
It’s understood Smith, who is a star player for the Western Bulldogs with over 330,000 Instagram followers, has not yet spoken to police in relation to the matter.
However a formal complaint has been made by a 22-year-old man.
It is understood the man alleges he was pushed by Smith in the early hours of October 4.
In a statement, police confirmed they are investigating an incident at the venue.
“Police have received a complaint in relation to an (incident involving) a 22-year-old man at Goodwin Terrace around 12.10am on Monday October 4, 2021,” the statement said.
“The man was transported to hospital for treatment.
“Investigations are ongoing.”
An official police complaint was not made until some days after the alleged incident.
An AFL spokesman said they had been made aware of an incident involving a player for the Western Bulldogs, but at this stage would be taking no further action.
“The AFL has been advised by the Western Bulldogs of an incident involving a player on October 4,” a spokesman said.
“On the basis of the information we currently have there will be no further action at this stage.”
While a spokesman for the Club confirmed a small group of players were present.
“The Western Bulldogs are aware of an incident which occurred in Burleigh Heads in Queensland on 4 October, where a small group of its players were present,” a Western Bulldogs spokesman said.
“The Club has conducted its own investigation and is satisfied that no further action is required at this point in time.”
Smith’s manager has been approached for comment but is yet to respond.
Smith appeared as a guest on Gold Coast influencers Ashtyn Wood and Cartia Mallan’s Common Chaos podcast, which was released on Wednesday, to talk about “toxic masculinity, mental health and vulnerability”.
“We’re not into the whole scene, whatever we do, it doesn’t define us, we just want to be normal and respectful like everyone wants to be,” he said on the podcast.
“It’s a credit to the way we were brought up, as a friendship group we’re sick of that (idea that) guys only get on the sesh (party session) together and do all that.”
Smith shared a snippet of the podcast to his Instagram feed and turned off the function that allows users to comment on his posts.
Great stuff. Just what we needed to pick us up and lift our spirits.
The AFL and the club don't seem too concerned by it so hopefully it is nothing to worry about.
What kind of sook makes a police complaint about someone pushing them? No doubt it has only happened because he knows who Bailey is.
I listened to his podcast with the Gold Coast "influencers" (there's an hour I'll never get back).
He's become the infatuation target of teenage girls - probably the AFL's first Justin Bieber equivalent in the Instagram age. Because he physically stands out in the crowd, he'll cop it more than others. The Club and his Manager will be looking after him. Sooner he is out of the Gold Coast, the better.
