Fantastic. You guys have spoken highly about this kid, so I'm very pleased to land him.

Highlights remind me of a young Brad Johnson. If he is half the player of Brad he'll still be a gun.Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Great selection! Adds genuine leg speed, work ethic and x-factor. Best of luck Bailey.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Very happy. Have to really like his footy smarts and his work on the spread.
I don't really buy the argument that he hasn't got as much development left in him as other players either. His ball drop and running gait are slightly awkward - two things I'm sure we'll clean up. The guy has spent a lot of time playing forward and back flank as well, the more midfield minutes he gets, the more he'll grow.Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
He's the high floor, lower ceiling pick where he's going to be a pretty dang good player but not at the level of the truly elite. Which is fine honestly, that was the knock on Clayton Oliver and he's a damn fine player albiet being a diving turd.
I don't think we have any players that were considered that in their draft year so it's nice to have someone that will push themselves as hard as possible as a surefire thing.Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
A player who will be fully focused on being the best he can. A player who is coachable. A player who won't be easily distracted.
A player who is going to be a great midfielder and capable of playing in the back or forward lines.
I hope Morris takes him under his wing and makes his transition as easy as it can be.
Smith is going to be a great addition for us.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
And apart from being a promising young player - young girls (and older chooks like me) will enjoy the fact Bailey is a good looking young chap. A beaming smile like Johnno and the thick blond locks. Boyd has a competitor in the dreamy hair stakes. Marketing Team has an instant replacement for Dahlhaus.Josie :)

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Great pick - good turn of speed, tough, efficient kick
The fact that he’s such a focused young player can have a big impact on others drafted this year and others around his age
I’m a big fan of the overachiever with a great attitude- they add more than their kicks and marks etcComment
