    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    I wonder which prick released the pictures and video?

    2 weeks is fair enough as it is similar to penalties already handed out to a couple of other plyers.
    FFC: Established 1883

    Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

    It's a low act no doubt but in the long run it's better to be cleared up now.

    I've been thinking that too. Without being even competent on social media....only on twitter.... is it possible to find out where posts start?

    The social media mafia are going into a frenzy ... Rioli got a year, Cousins got a year, Warnie got a year for a diuretic, two weeks is a joke, 12 weeks for betting on a game but four weeks for headbutting and doing drugs. Needless to say, there's a lot of unhappy campers out there

    On the other hand there are also a lot of players out there who have had a strike against them but the public don't know their names and they haven't been suspended. They are the true lucky ones.

    Yes, I saw that.

    All of these instances are completely different. Smith got the same penalty as Crouch and Mumford

    Plus some in the industry have received severe penalties for racially insensitive comments.
    It's consistent with some others but he's done well.

    Smith (for want of a better term) fixed himself up after the incident late last year, knowing what he had done. Don't know of others who had done anything about such indiscretions until being caught/outed.

    Therefore what is a 2-week suspension going to serve, aside from Gil's focus on "optics" all of the time?!?! (Lest he be the last to call the kettle black).

    Hence Bevo's comments the other day I guess.

    Rioli tampered with a sample for an official drug test... very different to getting on the gear during the off-season.

    Given how rife drug use is in the community, especially for people in this age demographic and how phones are out for everything it makes you wonder how many players will be nervous in the lead up to a GF that their ''mates'' don't release similar material given the potential implications?

    The worse thing is I had him for the Brownlow - heading butting and this

    They didn’t put the bag in his hand. Bailey needs to learn and make better choices. It's on him not the person who leaked it.

    Of course, but still a dog act

    On the other hand maybe did him a favour exposing it

    You’re correct about Rioli … and his was just pot. Cousins was never actually caught or proven; his ban was for the possibility of him being a user.

    The whole system is inconsistent. Some first strike players are not even outed.
