Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
AFL.com writers have Smith finishing in fourth place in the rising star behind Walsh, Rozee and Stack. Seems a reasonable result as all have had excellent seasons. Interestingly two have him second only to Walsh whilst five others give him no votes at all.
Who wins the 2019 Rising Star? Our reporters name their top five

38 – Connor Rozee (Port Adelaide) – 444444333311

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Rozee is a fair player too. He has flown under the Walsh radar a little bit like a few others.
I like saying his name too, it sounds a bit like a toffee. I will have a Werners Conner Rozee delight please.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Jeez, that's a particularly healthy crop.
Be interesting to chart who kicks on.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Bailey Smith would have close to the most upside from that list - younger, interrupter pre-season.
Oscar Allen, Battle and Blakey huge upside too. I love the way Rozee plays.

Well, to be fair watching us before the bye wasn't exactly a picnic.
Give it another 12-18 months and those reckoning with our three Musketeers will be reckoning with a fourth.
Long may they bully teams.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Extend his contract ASAP. Hawks having a nice chunk of cap space no longer tied to Conoglio makes me wary.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I’m sure extending his contract is not through lack of effort on our part!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
That is a pretty damn impressive list of players. Great crop.
I love what I've seen of Zurhaar too.
At some point in the future, Bailey Smith may well be considered the best of the bunch

Isn't it.
Bailey would be stiff not to get in the podium in front of Stack but Walsh and Rozee are a thoroughly deserving 1 and 2.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
not suprised he is ranked 4th, he plays for the bulldogs.
in seriousness, if the season (H&A) was another 5 rounds he'd surely come close to winning it.
Rozee and Stack both stars, I think Smith is a ready built footballer compared with them.
The dam wall has busted!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
I prefer he misses the Rising Star and have a career like Bont.
Much better than winning and having a career like Rhys Palmer or Lewis Taylor.
