Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

[MrMahatma]

Mabo.

Flip that around and what makes you think he will stay?

.

Cause most players do? So yeah... not exactly a compelling argument either! Ha!

[Grantysghost]

Yep that's a great stance for a guy who has no intentions of ever working in the media. For players that do. or just are even a fraction authentic. they'll respond like a normal person.

I reckon if Danger says I'll speculate on player contracts after I retire it doesn't affect his potential to be in the media.
I would think the PA would be trying to keep the pressure off players as much as possible; speculation isn't doing that for mine. He's the president right?

Ha. You've swayed me xD

Mabo.

I really hope he does, however he doesn't seem that happy and with the knee compounding it (will be a long winter for him) I feel he's on the way out.

I don't have any proof of this no

If we hear nothing by mid season probably goneski.

Re Bont he signed his contract in November 2018 when he was about Bailey's age.

Innocent until proven guilty, all he?s ever said is how much he loves the club and his teammates. Personally I?m going to take that at face value until he does anything that makes me think otherwise

Devil's advocate, what else would you expect him to say?

I might be mistaken, but I don't get the feeling the PA President position is one taken out of benevolence, nor does the association necessarily have the interests of the majority of players as it's main focus.

Ha, fair observation.

Here's what I could find relating to what Dangerfield said.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/02/...other-team-in/

?Bailey Smith, I think is one any club would love to have, and the mullet would surely look beautiful in the hoops,? Dangerfield told Channel 7.

?He looks good in a Dogs jumper, but he'd look good in the hoops as well.?

If he's gone harder than that then I reckon it would be in the article.

Siiiiiiiiiiick content though. Edgy.

[FrediKanoute]

It's probably clear to most he's leaving and they're using their influence to try and persuade him to come to them.

I'd say there's very little chance he's a Dog again.

I am in this camp. We have 3 left to do. We will throw money at both JUH and English. Smith will get leftovers.

I think he will look for a fresh start. That may well work for us too.

[SonofScray]

If I had to guess, I’d go with Bailey doesn’t pull in the jumper for us again.

What would the betting markets say about whether he is staying or going?

[Grantysghost]

What would the betting markets say about whether he is staying or going?

Surely Josh Jenkins is here?

[Mantis]

What would the betting markets say about whether he is staying or going?

$1.25 - going
$4 - staying

Reading the full quote and listening to Danger actually speak, what he said is fine.

The media extracting what they want from that and click bait is another subject altogether.

Or he could speak like a weird PR robot so we don't get upset here by the clickbaiting
