Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

It feels a bit like we’re pathetically grateful he has turned up, to post this. He could have been pictured, among others (you know, the ones who’ve been turning up every week), in the drills if fans wanted proof of life.

I feel this a bit. Why make a song and dance about him training? I get it if it was his first session back after the injury - but it's his first session he could arsed doing at WO for weeks. Hardly a moment to celebrate.

I get it, he's one of us and I'm not "pushing him out the door". But FFS - he's chosen NOT to be a supportive team mate of the guys who go out every week. I haven't seen much/anything of him at games, and he's not training with the guys who are playing. So... actions speak louder than insta posts. He's chosen to leave.

If his heart is in the club, then we (no doubt) would be grateful to have him back.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Really must be inspiring to the boys seeing him turn up to his current workplace.

Like you, I'm incredibly underwhelmed by this news. I'm old enough and ugly enough to know that in this day and age of #CoNtEnT, he generates the clicks so he will get some focus. It's no biggie for me.

He is ready to play. In for West!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Being somewhat cynical, could whispers of Bailey potentially doing a medical for Gold Coast, just be his manager stimulating scuttlebutt to let the Dog's know that any thoughts of sending him to the preseason draft as a negotiating tactic would backfire, as he could be easily walked to Gold Coast in the advent a trade with Geelong could not be agreed.

Nah. WCE, Richmond, North & Saints all have the cash to take Baz. I think the GCS thing is pretty flimsy personally without knowing what did or didn’t happen. If Geelong don’t deal he can end up anywhere but probably Geelong.

Also if gold coast were going to take him in PSD and Baz was okay with that we would just trade him there.

These media shots are weird. Has anyone said that yet?

Bailey Smith and women sprinters wear hoop earrings to training.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Aside from the fact there isn't a teammate in sight, by this point my dude just looks straight up weird in our colours.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Baz and Jamarra are at the golf range tonight. Can any of you say with 100% certainty that he and other team-mates haven't been doing so for months?

Yes, I can say with almost 100% certainty that some of his team mates would not have visited the golf range for months.
