Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith

[Sedat]

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.

Damage control after Smith's antics on the weekend. Connors is a pro, but Smith must be testing his patience.

Seriouls question. Why has he not nominated Geelong yet?

At a guess it's not to further inflame what's already a contentious bin fire behind the scenes.

Usually there would be a tacit agreement in place bw the clubs before nomination.

Looks like we can't even get the initial bit happening which screams we are very far apart.

I wonder if Connors' commission doubles every time Baz has to publicly feed his ego.

Normally when a player nominates a trade they head off somewhere quiet and wait till its done.

Smith this week alone seems to have done tv segments, grand final week appearances, "Barry" drink promotions including weird soccer kit give-aways and a stint behind the bar trying to flog the stuff, not to mention a seemingly uptick and needy thirst trap instagram posts.

I appreciate he has had some mental health challenges, but man he makes it hard for himself and must be infuriating to manage.

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.

Our Board cannot wait to see the back of Bailey. He?s been too
much work. So we’ve also very much outgrown him. The Club won?t be looking to support Bailey?s interests, just our own at this point.
