Bailey Smith

[Mr Meow]

So you think it’s ok to abuse and intimidate males in the workplace? You’re very hard to pin down here Arty. The goal posts of what you’re trying to get across are spinning around.

You keep saying abuse and intimidate, which makes me think abuse and intimidation are things you enjoy.

 

[Iamspock]

Yes, mate. He stuffed up.

What kind of message does it send to everyone when he abuses a woman in public and everyone says “oh well, try not to do that next time”.

Especially as he's done it more than once.

 

[GoPies1]

I didn’t watch closely enough but either way I would have guessed that a representative of either would have done/said the same thing. It would be an uncomfortable situation to observe and most people would have empathy for the photographer and probably advise the same thing: ‘hey look sorry about this maybe just easier to get some shots of the forwards group up the other end for now’

Check out the ABC article on the incident
She has said so much more than reported to date, about the altercation, her emotions, trying to de-escalate, him returning for another go and her fear
The fact it’s the second time he has done it
No other player in 25 years has attacked her
It goes on
Told you it was going to blow up, only news reports so far had been by AFL controlled content

I'm enjoying it, and will happily mock each post as you clearly intend me to do. Pleaee continue.

Passive - aggressive is a thing of beauty.

When used correctly, of course

 

[Bluelegs]

Very weird bloke. Of all the things to throw a tantrum over.

Dillon driving to Smith's beautiful acreage for another bonfire and begging him to continue being The Face of the game again.

 

[Hollow Knight]

A real weird unit. Needs to pull it in.

 

[Billy_01]

Don’t act like she doesn’t know what she’s doing. The photo that was released that she took is him getting treatment during training with his pants folded over and a towel covering him. Imagine if it was an AFLW player and the photographer was a lone male in the stands.

 

[Dtennent94]

Trivialising and mocking these issues is more transparent trolling than pretending to be concerned, so I applaud you for actually being sincere in your intentions now.

I am revelling in Geelong’s suffering as most AFL supporters would, moreso for a Collingwood supporter when we constantly cop undue focus in the media.

Look at the De Goey beat up a few years ago that went on for weeks because he touched up his consenting girlfriend in a nightclub.

Bailey Smith’s repeated actions are infinitely worse and more concerning than that.

You shouldn’t trivialise and mock these issues Mr Meow

Wonder if Big Chief Dillon gave him landscaping ideas for his $1 farm? What a great CEO.

Anyone seen this outrageous incident? He didn't even raise his voice. If it's a VFL player it doesn't even get reported. Say sorry and move on.

If people want to turn this into "abuse" and somehow drag DV into it, I have trouble detecting if their concern is genuine.

Anyway - here is your intimidation/abuse/assault etc.

 

[JackFlash]

Leadership group would definitely be talking about it.

I think his time as a Cat will be a short one.

Where are all the other players who were upset at her conduct?

It’s been reported at multiple outlets as abuse and intimidation. So I think people are right to run with that over Geelong supporters interpretations of the incident.

 

[Rotayjay]

His playing ability gets slightly overrated and he gets away with more antics because of his looks.

Not being photographed by her when they had gone to the boundary and had treatment on their lower back. I like how she said she'd tried to "defuse" the situation by taking shots of training instead ... you know, the actual thing was invited to do.

Full incident here. I mean, if this is all it is (and it seems to be), then ffs just let's all move on.

Read her side of it on the abc website
That’s what matters in these interactions
And the reporter writing the article doesn’t hold back either

Yes this is another outlet that quotes the lady to prove my point.

Keep that opinion quiet at work tomorrow

Was he a Geelong representative or media

More often than not, they’re both.
