Following our exes...................

Bit of a pattern with female photographers?
"Geelong star Bailey Smith has singled out a female photographer at Cats training in a heated exchange, demanding she delete images of him receiving treatment.

Smith walked towards the photographer, working near the boundary line during the open training session on Wednesday, after the images were taken.

One photo was of the All-Australian flipping the bird at the camera while a trainer worked on his back on a massage table.

Smith has twice been fined by the AFL this year for raising his middle finger during games.

The 24-year-old, second favourite for the Brownlow Medal, launched an expletive-laden tirade at 25-year veteran snapper Alison Wynd, working for the Geelong Advertiser.

The incident, which played out over a period of about two minutes, happened in front of journalists, photographers and camera operators who were invited into a "vision opportunity" session by the club.


After walking away, Smith then turned around to direct more swear words at the photographer.

Wynd had earlier taken photos of Mitch Duncan receiving treatment on the same table in the dugout on the perimeter of the playing surface.

"He said 'well you're doing a f***ing shit job'," Wynd told News Corp of her interaction with Smith.

"It was a bit rattling. Because he came back at me the second time, I felt a bit rattled by it."

It is the second time Wynd has been singled out by Smith this season, shouting "Did you get enough f***ing photos yet?" at her as he walked up the race a few weeks ago.

Smith has also previously been verbally aggressive at another female reporter at Geelong training and AAP said there were similar incidents when Smith played for the Bulldogs."

Geelong needs to make a statement and apologise. One of his reasons for leaving us was according to him "Geelong lets him be himself". Dogs would have pulled him up, but Scott and his merry men let players get away with stuff. eg Stengle.

It's ironic how he plays the mental health card when it suits him, but is happy to berate people doing their job, with the sole intention of bringing them down.

Prick of a character.

He's literally at work too. May was well be yelling at the postie for interrupting his Teams meeting.

Didn’t he do something similar when he played for us?
At least for today he has lost the media good will.

Baz needs some more help. I hope he is OK.

Help with what? How not to be a dickhead of a human?

I am pretty sure that was a joke

Down at Geelong where they smash pingas and regretamine any chance they can get (allegedly) anyone with a bit of experience would understand the colloquial sayings "Terrible Tuesday" and "Westgate Wednesday", and will wrap their arms around their boy knowing his serotonin wasn't due to kick back in until about 3pm this afternoon and that his grumpy behaviour was just a byproduct of the coastal lifestyle.......

Another learning opportunity for player and club as they negotiate their way through literal consequence free arsehole player behaviour.

Apparently, the reporter involved was from the Geelong Advertiser, a paper which has been a long-time passionate supporter of the club. It will be interesting to see how Geelong deals with Bailey's arrogant behavior, which has the potential to threaten the goodwill built up over many years.

He'll probably just get another visit from the AFL executive, you know, the Xavs Old Boys (of which he is one), who went down to Geelong to confirm everything's OK with his shithead behaviour last time.

I bet Tammy is thinking about how great a role model he is for her kids.

Geelong under the rug sweeping machine nothing to see here working overtime!

This is the beach story I assume? I can’t help but despise him. I still love and adore Dunkley & Cal Ward. But have no time for this bloke.

You know you're a colossal arsehole when Loinchop, the patron saint of the mental health card, tells you to pull your head in. And Loinchop would be 100% right on that assessment.

Despite his obvious and prodigious talent, we all knew the Bailey Smith/Geelong love affair was going to go tits up eventually - I just hope it does so in time to stop them winning the flag this year.

He seems a bit paranoid. Saying the photographer targeted him to get a rise. Centre of the universe stuff.
Plus the high moods of big weekends have to swing low somewhere. Its telling that he found the opportunity to again bully the same female photographer, walks back and does it again in full view. I can see how he 'outgrew' the common decency and respect demands at the kennel.

It's the absolute typical behaviour of the modern, social media driven narcissist.

Has harassed the same photographer on another occasion - he has a big problem
