Good players, 200 gamers, but Baz at his best is a better player, and is yet to enter his prime.
Correct and we need to hold onto him. He brings more to the club than just on field performance. All young guys are inconsistent and for all we know he could have carried an injury or two.
In Power we trust. It’s been a great tide so far.
PS. Very pleasing that this year so far. Leaks are not coming out about players. Only speculation
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

I think us as fans will feel a lot more confident if we see Naughts, Smith, JUH and English all sign on before next season. It at least shows us the players are still united. We might lose 1 of that lot.
The media and pretty much everyone overrate draft picks. Id rather keep Smith, but like English, if they intend to leave after next year, nows the time to shop.

If only his footy was as good as his marketing.

If they can make some extra cash on the side, then a move to another club is not as attractive in supplementing their income.

The insta post was a joke, he's not in New York.
Bailey Smith?s whereabouts revealed after cheeky New York post
Bailey Smith?s whereabouts have been revealed after he posted a cheeky tag on Instagram.
The Bulldogs star made out that he was in Barryville, New York, on Wednesday night, but he was making reference to a side project he?s working on surrounding the name Barry.
His happy post in Melbourne was still a sign that he isn?t letting speculation around his future affect an off-season break.
After the club missed out on playing finals he was pictured with teammates including Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Laith Vandermeer.
The trio were alongside Richmond forward Maurice Rioli Jr.
Smith captioned his picture: ?ah yes. a headlock? with Ugle-Hagan leaving a comment: ?still tapped out?.
Talk about Smith, 22, being disgruntled at the Bulldogs has been swirling for months but the club and his management are adamant that the most followed player on Instagram will remain there next season.
Several commentators raised concerns with Fox Footy?s Jordan Lewis questioning his commitment to football last week.
Smith?s manager Paul Connors hit out at the critics, saying it was tall poppy syndrome.
He said Smith would stay at the Bulldogs.
?He?ll be at the Bulldogs, I feel like the more we say it the less people don?t listen,?? Connors said.
?He?s been a bit tired, a bit sore, go back, refresh, reset, he?s looking forward to a big year.?

As soon as he came out on the front foot like that you know it was the tired old deny deny deny with attitude play book.
Such a yawn.

To be fair I think he was talking about in season. Out of season he could do a tour of every shopping centre in Australia for all I care.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say….
