Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

[comrade]

Bailey Smith was just about our best player for six weeks and now he’s Koby Stevens because of two off games where the entire team was horrible? Come on.

No he wasn’t.

Bailey Smith was just about our best player for six weeks and now he’s Koby Stevens because of two off games where the entire team was horrible? Come on.

I think it’s a fair stretch to say just about our best player. And the 2 months before that he looked lost. Koby could play, it’s not a put down, but he had limitations though. I’m seeing similar limitations in Smith, whilst acknowledging he can play. His last two games have been absolutely putrid. But that’s not the basis for the comparison I’m starting to see.

Here’s hoping they didn’t watch him the last six quarters. He’s a liability right now and I’m trying to cut him slack, but there’s a limit. If I had to pick three words to describe him the last six quarters:

Shanks. Panic. Dumb (decision maker).

I watch the highlights where Ed Richards got concussed earlier this season. Smith gets the ball looks up, sees Richards and his opponent coming from behind and gave Richards a hospital handball, and a concussion.

He reminds me of Koby Stevens more and more.

This might be one for the more, ahem, mature members of WOOF but I see Nigel Kellett in him, speed and dash but good decision making perennially eluded him. Baz is still very young. 20!!

I loved Nige!!! Those poor decision making skills capped his career at just 101 games though. Baz has time sure. But I see some early warning signs. I think he will want a very good contract next year and I’m reluctant to support that. He’s under contract this year so we will see. I’d be interested to know how you break those Nige or Koby type parts of their game, or if you can. Both Nige & Koby never could.

P.S. Nice historical player reference!

He's lucky he's good looking and can kick a footy!

Nah, it's probably coming from the right place and if so then good on him.

Should not get involved in politics

I always get my data from the opposition party and secret reports

During lockdown 5, Pendelbury tweeted that Dan should get help from Gladys. Went down well and has not aged well either.

Yes he should. All young people with influence should be more engaged in politics.

A lack of engagement from prominent young people in politics is part of the reason younger people get stitched up so comprehensively.

Certainly all entitled to their opinions. Just hope he's focused on Friday. Sure he is.
