Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Maybe I'm too old fashioned, but seriously bad look from Baz not only being at the Grand Prix rather than watch his teamates but also self promoting all day on Social Media too. No shame.

My son broke his arm and missed 10 weeks last season. He still went to every training session and every game. If he can do that in the under 17s junior footy, surely Baz can do it as a full time paid professional footballer.

Yeah, it reads a bit 'checked out, leaving anyway'. Dare I say, unprofessional? Maybe I'm being too old school footy about it

Sounds like everyone is completely on board about where the club wants to get to…

True, sadly Baz is going to be a circus and clickbait until he signs or leaves.

Yeah, I don't think he needs to go to every single game all season. So long as he's fully committed to his rehab and is still around his teammates at training during the week I don't think it matters too much. We know he is always going to be into his side hustles no matter what club he's at.

And maybe if he gets enough ego stroking outside of the club he will stay.

The lure of a big crowd at the G though is my guess (pies).

On Sunday, Bailey Smith attended the Grand Prix in Melbourne, instead of watching his teammates in Ballarat. He was one of the ?squad? spruiking Ralph Lauren fragrances alongside Peter Bol, Isaac Humphries and Margot Robbie?s brother, actor Cameron.

The Dogs could require Smith to dutifully sit in the stands in Ballarat, but allowed him to live his life ? while diligently rehabilitating his knee injury. It seems a very smart play for a club keen to re-sign its midfield star.

So this is the state of football journalism.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Maybe not having Bailey in a car for a three and a half to four hour round trip on was the right thing for his rehab......I wouldn't have flown him to Sydney, for instance.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

He would have got the okay from the club as they are also supposed to make sure they have work after footy.
Whether it’s going to uni and studying or other pursuits.
Bailey has quite a brand going which also comes back to us in a way .
People buy our jumper with his number on it, membership etc
Him being at the Grand Prix would be a plus for us more than him sitting in a seat in Ballarat.
Maybe he is gone maybe he isn’t but you still need to support him in his other pursuits. If we said no it would alienate him more.
