Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Footy pundits also have managers and agents, they will never cross the line and turn against these people, you only hear praise and support for such folk. Imagine Kano having a crack at player managers, wouldn't think his manager would approve.
Will never buy any Kitten on Apparel. Could we somehow arrange for Mission foods to provide Harley Reid with a nice sponsorship arrangement. food for thought. I reckon he loves Tacos?

Only one club can get away with such a criminal action, and it's not the boutique bulldogs.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
if we worked closer with Paul Connors, I'm sure he knows how to make it happen, Afterall No one will say anything negative about him. he'd have a vested interest making 20% off the deal?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
It seems that all of us are happy to see Smith gone, but few of us are happy with the trade deal struck with Geelong.
Fair enough, but driving around today I thought of an interesting thought experiment.
In this experiment, Smith is the same player and person that he is, past recent ACL, poor disposal, former high draft pick, quick, and whatever you know or think of him off field (narcissism, self promotion etc), which would appear to be not a positive.
In this experiment, Smith is playing for another Victorian team, out of contract. Smith nominates that he wants to come over to the Bulldogs.
In this experiment, the Bulldogs are interested, and they have pick 17 and their second round pick this year, and all their draft picks in 2025.
So here it goes: what trade deal would you have done, knowing what you know about Smith, for him to come to the Bulldogs under this thought experiment?
Assume that the trade will go through, rather than just posting that you wouldn't trade for him.
I'm interested in what deal you come up with.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Ha I actually thought of this same scenario last night.
Honestly I wouldn't even want him knowing the type of person he is. But if we were interested, yeah pick 17 is all I'd offer. No way would I want us offering two 1sts for him.
But it's really hard to say given I don't want anything to do with him. Not because he asked out. But because I've never thought he was Bulldog fabric. He's an anti-Bulldog. Would never fit at our club. I can't get passed that.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Actions speak louder than words even if it is from a player manager. The guy was nothing but a disrespectful jackass as soon as the season finished, don't buy the BS from BS.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
Last 2 paragraphs kinda negate or at minimum divert from the intended thanks. It’s a yeah but nah message. Pity his advisors couldn’t keep him on message (again). Considering the way he left us, it makes his statement “to do us proud” fall like a lead balloon.

My nan said he deserved his knee injury for not going to Geelong last year so I guess I'll pass it on

Taking up Dry Rot's challenge, I couldn't bid without knowing what we could get in the draft for 17.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Bailey Smith
There's always a line of narcissism with him, even when he's trying to be grateful.
Time we just all move on.
