How could you deny him the chance to hang out with Margot Robbie’s brother?

He was texting with Cody from what I can see on Insta. That’s more or less a signature on a contract.
PS: Do all injured players go to all matches? Did Croft go to Ballarat?

Big difference to being a kid who looks to play in the next few weeks to one who is out for the year.

If it's in the team's interest for you to be unpenised* then you'll just have to take one for the team.
'*I don't know what unpenised means
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
I’m still in the camp of I want Smith to stay.
But my guess if he does leave is he is still Sydney bound - which has been my view since 2022.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Let’s say Sanders is an A grader.
Let’s say Gallagher & Garcia could make the grade as mids, maybe West too.
Let’s say we keep Marra & Tim.
Is Smith then a ‘must keep’ or a trade option if the word is true that he’s rejected our two year offer?

Strongly disagree with you on this BT. We should be doing everything to keep Smith.
We are still short a midfielder who can burst away from the stoppage. Sanders and Smith would be a brilliant YIN and YANG.
The game has headed that way. If you cannot burst, you bust.
The other concern is Gallagher and Garcia have missed more games through injury than they've played.

So we give him more years and money?

I for one would like to keep him. He is only 23 years old and has showed us he can play. Not sure the ideal length of time, or dollars, but we need to sign him up.

Smith is a better player than Garcia, West and Gags.
And he’s a marketing dream for a small club.
Keep him.
I think the balance on what we pay him is tricky. We don’t want to lose blokes like Ed Richards etc when they’re up for contract cause we don’t have the $. I think we can afford the “stars” but don’t want to lose the next rungs
