    it was his Management as well that said he wouldn't play again this year after he had the Op. Club were p'd off with that as well as knowing he was on the move but doing his rehab at the club and paying his salary.

    We supported him through his snorting saga, mental health issues, head butt incident, ACL - and this is what we get from a selfish little prick.

    Unfortunately that is the likelihood. Maybe Hawks (his childhood club) as a long shot.

    Losing Baz and Dunks recently is really annoying. How can these other clubs offer more midfield time than us? That seems to be one of the reasons behind the players requests in both cases. I don't understand it.

    Both players are selfish people, up themselves who think they are better than they are and are not team orientated. You play a role in a TEAM game that best suits the team, not best suits you.

    It's a real gut punch that the likes of Josh Battle will get the saints better draft capital than we will get for Smith. If Smith was a FA we'd get better compo. What a shit system.

    He can take a long walk off a very short pier. It is obvious looking at his socials that he is a narcissist. Good luck to whatever club takes him on.

    He has to make hay while the sun shines, hell be bald with a massive comb over in the next couple of years, no one will follow him. Clearly its a financial issue. Lets see what we get for him on the open market, anything less than pick 5. send him to the draft

    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    It's all well and good to demand fair value for Smith and threaten the PSD but how do people suggest we deal to get anywhere near a top 5 pick let alone top 10?

    We've been absolutely crucified by his choice of club ala Dunkley. It's going to need a 3rd party get involved and I'm not sure that's going to be easy. Getting nothing for him would be a disaster given our lack of first rounders this year. The cats won't really care if he goes to the psd. It's rare he still won't end up there.

    Yes it's all a pipe dream.

    We will get bent over because the system allows it.

    That "first round" pick will be it, and if we hold too long the cats will just trade it for something else and give us worse.

    We are in no position to bargain, they know we can't afford to let him walk to the PSD.

    It's cool we keep leaching young mids because our on-ball mafia that keeps pissing its pants in finals has no room for them.

    No that's not wholly true but dead set, man.

    He can go cotton off but hoping that the Bombers can win him over now as they?re the only so called big Club with any decent draft collateral to put up this year.

    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    Richards coming into the midfield and Sanders learning the ropes for a year have us better placed than we otherwise might have been. We still need to bring in more midfield talent via the draft this season and next, and also keep bringing in players who fill a specific need from elsewhere.

    What might have been in 2021 - it was his errant sloppy handball on D50 that gifted Melbourne a goal from nowhere and completely against the run of play in that GF. As elite a runner as he is, he is not a great user of the ball by hand or foot.

    The circus is over.
