BaileySmith’s move from the Western Bulldogs to Geelong appears inevitable, but a sight during preliminary final weekend raised more than a few eyebrows.
The Bulldogs recently confirmed Smith would be seeking a...
...theories into the bin, as a new front runner has emerged.
According to sources that would make Tom Morris weak at the knees, BaileySmith is being wooed over to the Fremantle Dockers.
Key selling points are team's upward trajectory, the local scenery AND Freo's marketing will push Bailey as...
Western Bulldogs star BaileySmith has suffered an ACL injury in a devastating training mishap which will wipe out his 2024 campaign.
Smith suffered the injury during a pre-season training session on Wednesday morning, with scans on his knee quickly confirming what was feared.
“We’re all...

Hmm. Watch this space.
With JJ out I think we need a like for like replacement. This could be the making of Smith. Take the game on, get creative with your ball use and learn and be forced to defend.
The game Smith is currently playing we don’t need. Something had to change, this could be a win for player and club...
What is everyone's thoughts about how BaileySmith will tackle his baldness?
It's always a tough call for most men that are cursed with Baldness. Do you shave it off? Or comb it over and and hope no one will notice?
But even if they do comb it over and live in denial - deep down they know...
Looks like the ‘Cotton-On’ contract and ‘life’s pressures’ have turned him into a front running soft-cokc. Treloar looks like Robbie Muir compared to him.
Private school pampers these kids, everything is too hard.
Pickett launches both feet off the ground and collects Smith flush in the head with a forearm. Smith bounces straight up, but if the AFL is serious about protecting the head and in light of the looming litigation regarding concussion, Pickett might be facing a lengthy stint on the sidelines...
Out of contract at years end and would be due for a pay rise and salary cap at dogs would be starting to be an issue.
smith has also just taken a leave of absence preXmas break so maybe a change of scenery could help be it a different state or even just a different club where he has close mates...
He’s apparently been in the Gold Coast and done a bad thing to a man
when he arrived at the club he was a God bothering teetoller. I guess that has changed.
No amount of drink will erase the 2nd half of the GF Bailey.
I don't think Smith has all that much upside.
In terms of limitations, he's small, and an outside player. He's not very creative, and pretty much kicks long down the line almost every time he gets it.
For an AFL footballer, he's very timid when the heat is on.
Upside is he's super fit, and an...
Just wanted to pass on what I’ve heard. Hawks have offered BaileySmith a 7 year 7 million dollar deal. And it’s an offer that the dogs won’t even come close to being able to match.
...girl he wants. Enter Lachie Hunter, the charming senior party boy and vice-captain, Hunter makes Smith’s partner feel valued and like BaileySmith is the lucky one instead of it always being her. This leads onto last night, Hunter and Smith’s partner were together drinking at her home...
Obviously not a realistic trade target and seems very happy at the Bulldogs, but he still hasn't recommitted long-term, and there's always been an ever so slight, niggling suspicion among some Bulldogs fans that he wants to play for Hawthorn one day, growing up a die-hard fan.
Reportedly told non Victorian clubs he only wanted to stay in Victoria. And got a doctors certificate saying it would be bad for his mental health.
Where’s the investigation by the AFL for draft tampering?
Will Bailey forgo insterstate matches?
