    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    Players have too much power these days and maybe clubs need to get back some of that power by hitting players they want to keep to get them to re commit to the club a year off of out of contract and if they don't want to they are not totally on board ship them out. Get the best price for them and if a year later they want to move at least they have a contract which makes life a little harder.

    This is basically what happens in soccer football leagues. You don't let a player run down their contract. If they haven't signed and are entering their last year, you look to sell.

    All that comment says to me is that Dempsey is playing for Richmond next year.

    For someone who has such a fragile mental state - Bailey isn't showing much emotional intelligence on the way out. He either needs to listen to his manager or get one that can give him the appropriate guidance.

    What's worse is the actual system. Perryman could fetch a better pick for gws than we'll get for Smith whilst at the same time making what we get for Smith worse.

    Very selfless of him to announce that an hour before the b&f. What a stain.
