Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Why would he not have improvement in him as a player at 22yo? What were Petracca, De Goey, Danger, Neale etc like at 22? Certainly not the players they are today?

Stringer was unfulfilled potential because he?s a fat lazy **** who doesn?t put in any effort off field, literally the complete opposite to Baz so that?s not a great comparison to be honest

Fair question. My issue is he can't hit a target and that's notoriously difficult to improve on.

Actually I think Stringer is a perfectly cromulent comparison. The issue isn't the areas they're good at, it's that I don't think they'll reach their potential.

He started '22 very well. Went to shizen after he headbutted Tuhoy and got caught with the whiz fizz and he's been pretty average since then.

He did get position changed as well which didn’t help.

Fair enough, i think its a huge issue pretty soon for us.

If you could keep only 2 of JUH, English and Smith who would you pick?

JUH and Smith. We'd get the best return for English and he's the simplest to replace. Ideally we will keep all three though.

Yeah this gets forgotten a lot, he was one of our best players in the first half of ?22. Hasn?t been the same since but he?ll get back to his best.

He?d be a massive loss, and selling at his absolute lowest value is not good business

Yeah i dunno, English is a bit of a unicorn imo. Who would you replace him with?

A solid tap ruckman who can get from contest to contest. I agree that Tim is a unicorn but Marra is a generational talent and Smith at his best is exactly what we need, a mid who breaks the lines, kicks goals and is box office gold (Jerry, gold!)

It's not an easy choice but it's something I thought about a while ago and made a decision then.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

I don't hate him. I think he can run really fast and kick it a long way. I think he's capable of extremely good things, but inconsistently.

I think he's as good as he's going to get and will be unfulfilled potential. We did the right thing getting rid of Stringer and I think it's sound club management to look at moving him on for someone that actually makes us better.

GG hates him.
