    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    I also love the fact at such a tender age he already stands up to opposition when heat is on with controlled aggression e.g. pull oppo player off one of our players, jumper hold & stare player down etc - one of our few tough but fair sorts. We need him and Libba and Bonts and others to stand tall. No more of the timidity from last 2 matches or we will have an ongoing reputation as softies.

    Can. Not. Wait.
    I get the feeling opposition supporters will find Bailey’s head very punchable in the future. He will be a fun but also has a bit of cheek and lip about him.

    In space he reminds me a bit of Brad Johnson. Deadly finisher and excellent kick. Whereas Johnno was amazing forward and overhead, Smith will be an absolute beast inside.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    He's definitely got that Johnno-esque hunch when he runs too.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Bailey reminds me of the Coon Dog's first season. Adam's body strength was way strong for a young man of his age, often bursting tackles against far more mature bodies. Also has that rare gift of making time stand still for him. Both great signs for a very promising future.

    Bailey Smith to brave the ‘Big Freeze’

    Western Bulldogs young gun Bailey Smith has accepted the ‘Big Freeze’ challenge and will plunge into icy waters for a fantastic cause.

    The annual Big Freeze event, now in its sixth year, raises much-needed funds and awareness to fight Motor Neurone Disease.

    Normally set to take place before the annual clash between Collingwood and Melbourne at the MCG, event organisers have been forced to improvise amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

    A special TV event will be broadcast live on Channel Seven on the Queen's Birthday holiday on Monday, June 8 – three days before the 2020 season is due to recommence.

    All 18 AFL clubs will have one player representative slide into the ice bath as part of the telecast.

    Smith’s outfit will be revealed during the Channel 7 program.

    Luke Beveridge (2018), Bob Murphy (2019) and Liam Picken (2019) have previously taken part in the Big Freeze challenge.

    The new-look FightMND beanies are on sale now for $20 at Coles, Bunnings or at fightmnd.org.au

    Great stuff Bailey, good way to establish your credos to the general public. Your part in Hunter's debacle won't even be a quiz question.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    You know he must be good when commentators are talking him up and looking to re-do drafts and have him in the conversation as first pick.

    To think he has gone from strength to strength.

    The most exciting thing is there is more improvement to come also and to think he hardly played a game in his final year of under 18 footy.

    Limited pre-season in 2019 and the 2020 season interrupted due to COVID and he still looks like a 100 game player already.
