First & F1 for Baz & F2…

Or PSD.

That simple.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

P.S.

Great. I had enough 12 months ago and no longer have to hear anything about him soon.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

It really makes Bailey's behavior over the past number of weeks/ months look all the more childish.

Whoever is advising him has done a shit ****ing job.

And to make matters worse he is with Connors sport who have a heap of experience although the ethical part might not be their strong point.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Thanks for 2021 Baz. Glad we can hold our heads up and say we completed our end of the bargain, unlike you who leached our support when you were smashing drugs and being a general ****wit.

Be prepared to be treated without mercy by supporters who once loved you. You're dead to me.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Just unfollowed him on Insta.

That'll show him. Who's laughing now "bazlenka"... !?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Both players are selfish people, up themselves who think they are better than they are and are not team orientated. You play a role in a TEAM game that best suits the team, not best suits you.

I think there is a clear distinction between the two departures. At least Dunkley was fully invested in his final year and earned his salary right through the season whereas Smith manipulated his way into spending the least amount of time he could at the club and even getting a couple of weeks away to enjoy and overseas break.

Other than the fact both asked for trades I think they're exceptionally different departures.

Not sure he'll be missed by many.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Yeah the more I think about it the more I’m willing to stand on business with him. Not only because it would be undoubtedly the funniest thing we could do, but also because we’ve already done the heavy lifting of amending how we play to cover him.

He’s been effectively gone for 12 months already, we need to change our thinking on this and look at it as a free hit.

Brand Bailey at a cellar dweller would be worth it. Every last non cent.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Am I the only one who wished we’d kept Smith and traded English?

I wish Bailey well, except when he is playing us.

I don’t buy into the talk Smith is same as or worse than Dunkley. Smith has been injured, Dunkley wasn’t. I have a suspicion Smith doesn’t get along with Bevo that well. I know Smith is a show pony, so what. I think we should have played him more at centre clearances so I don’t blame him for seeking opportunities elsewhere so he gains more mid time & yes, play in front of big crowds and earn more from sponsors for Brand Bailey.

I want a fair deal if it’s a contending club eg Cats and if not yes PSD. Let’s not advantage a contender or send message we will allow ourselves to be walked over, otherwise it’s more likely gonna keep happening.

It would be hilarious if negotiations were being tense between us and Geelong and Richmond or North just came out and said if he gets to the Preseason Draft we would be crazy not to pick him.

Don't they usually just put some insane price on their head and that's that?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Wouldn't we just redraft him and pay the money, before he got to Geelong?

North and Richmond would have more cap room than Geelong and be able to shuffle cash around a lot more easily.

But he just says I don't want to play for you.

It won't happen I get the sentiment but he will get to the team he wants to go to.

The AFLPA have negotiated well to empower the players in their wish for movement.
Clubs know they're powerless, it's why I'm surprised more haven't pulled the trigger on a trade whilst the player is contracted.
