    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    Such mindless and self centered drivel. Also, Luke Darcy’s conflict of interest in this situation really annoys me. Talking of love and respect for a guy who is actually belittling our club with his condescending remarks? It doesn’t suggest we’re going to be ruthless as we should be in our expectations of what he’s worth.

    To be fair. At that audience what else is Darcy going to say. When Nathan Brown left, Darcy refused to talk to him for years. I'm sure deep down he has zero love for Baz. I feel like Darcy has a ruthless streak in him.

    Read this from Luke Darcy https://www.afl.com.au/news/115443/value-of-loyalty from 2011. I feel like I know where he stands on the issue.

    A few years later, Nathan Brown chose to leave the Bulldogs for Richmond.

    We were close mates at the time and it's fair to say I was extremely disappointed with his decision. Of course there was my self-interest in not wanting to lose a gun player to a fierce rival, but there was also a feeling that he wasn't going for the right reasons.

    We didn't speak for over a year and we've never really spoken about him leaving since, but despite the great friendships he made at Richmond I still feel he would have been best served by staying a one-club player.

    Loyalty has always been something that divides opinion.

    Understand what you’re saying. I still feel he could have stayed polite and factual, plus it’s the wearing of two hats that bugs me, as in the utterances of Darcy the board member and Bulldog legend could seem to be an official club view. I think we’re all going to have extreme emotions as this deeply unpleasant situation plays out.

    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    My God what a f****ing douche. The guy is so far removed from his reality. He's a true narcissistic f***.

    His words are complete shit when his actions are the complete opposite. F*** him off already. I don't care what we get. I wanna see Pickett shirt front the wank.

    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

    It's hard to interpret what he's saying in any way other than he's a big fish in a small pond.
    Jeez that's either a really poor choice of phrase or he's head is just doing its own thing at this point.

    It's ok though, big fish boner Bailey still loves us.

    I don't want to over react to every utterance however he really needs a better advisor.

    Wake me up when trade week is over re Bailey.

    Interesting that Connors has said they're still working out where he's going. This cotton on thing is probably being looked at right now.

    Btw from what I've seen Bailey hasn't outgrown anything.

    How dumb is Smith? He can't help but keep putting his foot in it. WTF is Connors doing and advising him?

    Even his manager hasn't given an indication. Hard to know why but could there be another player at the table? I know it's a long shot

    I?m guessing to make out like the Geelong deal hasn?t been 18-24 months in the making. That being seen to nominate Geelong early would hurt his case if Cotton On deal is investigated.
