Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
I don't think it's about money or flags for Baz, playing for the biggest club in Melbourne with the opportunities that will open in a marketing sense might be the overriding consideration.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
And it's not one for bravado.. It's happened too often with us, a player nominates a club, and we get shafted.
Stringer to Bombers was one... and I know we brought on the fire sale, by putting him up for sale... but at the time when we secured Schache in the trade period, I thought that trade smelled like desperation from the club to try and put a positive spin on losing Stringer for chips.... I recall at the time the club spruiking how great it was to add a former pick 2.... as if that means anything a couple of years into the system.
And the Dunkley scenario....
Nope if Smith burns us,, as BT has said, let him build his brand at North or West Coast.Comment

I don't think so. It sounds nice, but we have to take what we can.
Why do they want to go is the issue.BT COME BACK!

Dunkley wanted out and you can’t stop that if they are out of contract, it’s a matter of who he wants to go to, who is competing for him and you can only get what’s on offer or nothing.
Smith is much in the Dunkley scenario if he decides to leave.
If he wants out it would be interesting to see who he names and what’s on offer.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
We absolutely have to get the hawks involved. They've got the pick we want.
If we lose Bailey for similar value to Schulz it'll be disappointingComment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Stringer done us over , only one club wanted him so we had no bargaining power except to keep him and that wasn’t going to happen as we kicked him out.
