Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Brad Johnson didn?t say he called Bailey Smith and his call to Baz went unanswered. He made a reference to making some calls (in the context of Smith?s contract) and he hasn?t had a response yet. I took it as he tried to get some info via his contacts at the club.

Yep. Seems fairly clear to me that is the chain of events.

That wasn't how it came across to me as I watched it, but I'm happy to watch it again to suss out what was actually said.
Johnno reporting on Bulldogs stuff is gonna be fuzzy. He needs to not misuse his position and trust.

Perhaps he didn't on this occasion but I'd like to know what the ground rules are for someone in a position of trust and privacy who is also a footy commentator.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

I’m getting unreasonably annoyed at this and am taking it personally that Baz would want to leave the club just when it’s turning fun again. Can’t figure out what I’m missing.

Is it to do with being played out of position at various times last year, aka the reason we were given for Dunks leaving? (though obviously that had a lot to do with $$ as well) and instead of copping it graciously, cracking the sads?

Has anyone been unlucky enough to see the last Bailey Smith product advert?

Some lynx equivalent deodorant spray - it is a tv add and he stars in it front and centre.

Just saw it… He’s not far off following David Brent.

By years end he would’ve overtaken David Brent.

I think these constant shitty ads and shopping centre visits (GP attendance with the brother of Margot Robbie!) are quickly showing his appeal is going to quickly fall away. He’s just taking cheques and good luck to him, but his brand ain’t what he thinks it is. If the move is about expanding his brand, I’ve got some bad news for him. Beyond the ad he’s now starring in.

Great point on over saturation. The products are becoming more and more tacky.

I think he will end up a more financially secure (because of the pay this generation), but far less entertaining version of Warwick Capper. Doing voicemail records for $100 and leaking porn tapes for attention in retirement. But without the hit music either.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Took my boy out to WO after his soccer game yesterday, rehab group had a decent session on the ground…..no Baz

Then saw Baz doing almost the same drills by himself somewhere random on insta.

He’s gone

Oh, and WO is amazing, can’t believe it’s the same place as the clogged toilets at the Geelong Rd end of my youth

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Bailey is one of us until he's not. And without sounding brutal he's not relevant to our on field fortunes in 2024, which TBH is all I'm focused on right now.

I agree but it’s kinda at that point now where it’s so weird that I need it explained to me for my own sanity. My man is out here getting his nipples twisted by an NRL player on national television ffs.

I hate these distractions with players not signing and not saying anything

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Wouldn?t it be sweet at the end of September, Baz is kicking himself for not putting the effort in to get kit and back into the side and being part of our 2024 premiership. Then he goes to Geelong and the next 6 years he watched the Bont take the team to back to back flags. Bont becomes the greatest Bulldog ever, Bevo the coaching messiah and he missed it all.

That?s how you get clicks and chicks Baz
