Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

Anyone else sensing today feels like announcement day?

Was meant to be today or yesterday, so yes I'd expect it today.

How about 15+F1+a player on the fringe we like? Ted Clohesy might be one from the sounds of it. Sounds similar to West in osme aspects but a bit pacier. Or maybe more like Garcia.

It's a bit rare that players are added into the negotiations with other player movements. The players that might interest us are the quality of Mannagh and Humphries are not who Geelong will part with but perhaps there is someone else.

We should demand pick 15 and a F1 and if Geelong are committed to him they should be happy with that.

Then lets hope Bevo is on his way down the highway now - pushing the metaphor to ridiculous lengths!

Interesting throw away line by Caro at the very end of the clip...

Is it a good thing or a bad thing when you've reached the 'comments are disabled' phase of your social media reign?

Augurs well for the inevitable 'TYFE Dawgz. L8terz!' farewell post.

This has a lot of Kawhi Leonard about it when he left the San Antonio Spurs.

Bailey is dead to me. It's been like that for nearly 12 months anyway but the way he's gone about this is pathetic and disrespectful to the club. I'd say we're in Griffen territory here except I actually liked Ryan.

Griff gave the club good tenure at least.

Yeah and I can somewhat understand his grievances (not saying that justified his stabbing us in the back and bailing).

Bailey is a precious, self entitled narcissist who gives zero f***s about the club and never once did. He's become my no 1 most hated former player now. Makes Dunkley look like a non-event.

I get the feeling the club is happy to see the back off him. If we really wanted to keep him why didn't we up our offer at all?! He was given a 2 year offer at the start of the year and it never improved.

I guess they knew he was leaving so the offer was a 'stay a couple years more and cash in harder when you leave after proving yourself'

Also possible some of the rumours of him being of the 'Hunter' ilk mean we're not devastated to lose him. Especially with Richards upgrading on the role we'd have had for Bailey.
