Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

We had to recruit Lachlan Smith, if Bailey leaves we still have a Smith. We lost two Smiths recently in Roarke and Rohan, we can now afford to lose another.
I believe the club always needs a back up Smith.
Two birds in one stone .. a Smith and a back up ruckman if English decided to leave or Bailey does.

Locksmith also upped our Lachie stocks, every team needs a couple of Lachies.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

GG hates him.

Haaa.

Nice

Actually I wouldn't mind rubbing lotion into his six pack and being his best friend in all honesty.

I'd even comb his hair in a not weird staring way also.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

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.

I forgot about that, a point well made.

Bailey says hello

One of the greatest games i've ever been to, the silence and disbelief from all Lions supporters that night was gold.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

I don't get all the negativity towards Bailey either, most of it is certainty media driven in fact i really am not a fan of how the media make stories out of nothing these days just to stay relevant basing things on speculation, opinion and assumption (Cornes and Caro i'm looking at you), and until players re-sign these days, they are looking around at other clubs for a trade.

He is a gun who has been off the boil for a little while but still quite young (we've all seen this before with many other high quality players) yet supporters are so fast to just want to dish players off, it's a very reactionary mindset imo, we know how well he can play, we have all seen it and i think the main issues for him have been around positioning and maybe he's that person who just over thinks everything, and in a funny way i believe having a year off might be the making of him without sounding too glass full, spending time in the coaches box, seeing things from a different perspective.

Want to lose him? absolutely not!

The media are a disgrace not just football , everything, trading is a good example they just look up the list of players coming out of contract in a year, look at clubs that have a dificiency in that kind of player, then write they are going there.
The shock jock is all about clicks and getting paid , Caro and Cornes are the big ones.
They don’t care if it’s true or not then use the excuse it’s opinion or ignore they were wrong and move on to more rubbish.
I feel sorry for clubs they now are expected to do more press but the AFL need to make the journos more accountable.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

I like to hear this. Baz isn?t sooking it up and acting like he?s one foot out the door.

True, but his preparation and commitment has never been questioned has it? If anything he had to learn to relax a little more (he mentioned Easton Wood taught him this).

His workrate on and off the field has been first-rate since he walked into the club.

Why did you photoshop my shirt off?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Baz is a great part of the team, and important to the club.

Is he in our best 5 players? Prob not at this point. No reason to wish him gone though. He’s capable of great footy and will hopefully be a dog for life!
