Because that's the other side to the story.
All I'm saying is I don't think it's great a player of ours is involved with something like this. I'm not saying it's a big deal, or will be, I'm just saying it's not great.
If you think it's great, great.

Push, punch or whatever, that's not great.
I know violence should never be encouraged but there are dickheads out there who deserve a belting. By the sounds of it this bloke got off lightly with a push.
That being said, Bailey better get used to this attention and learn how to cope with it. Because he’s going to get it everywhere he goes.

No, I am saying it sounds fishy from the other party and I like to hear Bailey's side of the story. I can't judge unless I know both sides.
Yes he it not good one of our players is involved, but as BTT says, he needs to get used to being hassled and learn to deal with it. He is only 20 years old.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
It's likely nothing comes of this, but it's a reminder to Bailey he needs to be careful given how big profile he's become.
One thing I'm aware of is that Bailey does say all the right things and certainly appears to have a good head on his shoulders, but with the way he portrays himself on social media and his rightful desire to be regularly out and about, I hope he understands there's always going to be interest in what he does. Some of that interest will be in bad faith, so how he deals with it will be key.
By no means am I saying he needs to avoid going out - that's ridiculous. He's young and deserves a social life, but with the 'good' part of being up in lights comes the bad.

We don't even know what happened and we're already saying the other guy got off lightly without being more severely harmed...........!

He's a remarkable young player and he seems like a solid citizen but I don't envy the scrutiny he is now under.

Well summed up.
A mate mentioned that if he got rid of the mullet he might blend in more but other than Bont he might be our most marketable player.

I'm just countering your contrarianism to my neutral statement/ position in that I don't think it's great (which it clearly isn't, but we don't know whether it's actually bad either - which I didn't say it was) with a ridiculous one for effect.

But he shouldn't have to get rid of the mullet, people just need to leave other people alone.
I feel people never really learned enough from what happens next in this scene:

The Mullet did the pushing.
Bailey's hair, whom I've named Kuato, is a parasitic life form with unknown intentions.
Also thanks for the Mos Eisley Cantina ear worm you just planted

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
This thread just went up a notch! Got pushed up?
Sounds like not much. I mean, I understand someone got hurt, but what less could someone do than push?
Slow news week.

Sounds like a drunk asshole got in his face at the pub and he shoved him.
