You can track it on the replay. At first I was intrigued where Smith actually came from as suddenly he was there and all alone, as I dug deeper I realised Selwood was with him and then he wasn’t.

Nah - I reckon we had our sights set on smith regardless.
I thought if Rozee slipped to 7 then we might trade w port to jump ahead of Adelaide, maybe 10 and 15 - but probably not in hindsight considering who they’d lined up with those picks.
I think we were pretty set on him

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Is it just me or does Bailey look a bit like a younger, mulleted, Nick Cave?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I’ve been running with a mid 80’s Ian Botham.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
I loved that moment when he dropped the ball bull rushing a tackle in the 3rd. They got a goal from it but he broke the tackle and was out, the Dees player just landed a fluke touch in the ball.
That type of competitiveness and confidence is great to watch - not the outcome we wanted on that occasion - but great to see.
Love watching him grow each week.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
BT, why haven’t we extended his contract?
What would he be worth come year 3,4,5? His value is clearly increasing with every passing weekend.

Maybe his manager is holding out? Our usual practice has been to offer a two year extension to kids like him (4 years guaranteed). However, Naughton held out and only signed a one year extension last year. Then he got a second huge 4 year additional extension 6-7 months later and has (7 years guaranteed). The issue I see is if Bailey's manager wants more than two years, he'd potentially do Bailey out of money unless we paid big. If I were his manager I'd copy the Naughton model. Take a one year extension, and over the next two years let Bailey show why he should get a 4 year extension on a very good money deal that takes him to his free agency window. But from our side, I'd be happy to sign him up at for as long as we can. It's clear he's going to be a very, very good player.

He’s a dead ringer for Billy from Stranger Things.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
The eyes, the long face, the front section of the mullet are all Nick Cave from 1978. I can see him singing Shivers into that old style mic in the B&W film clip. Before the heroin kicked in.
