THE AFL remains in contact with Geelong and its superstar midfielder Bailey Smith, following comments he made on social media over the weekend in relation to illicit drug use.

Smith responded to a comment on his Instagram page around whether he had 'nose beers' – a common expression used to refer to cocaine – after last Thursday night's win over former side the Western Bulldogs.

He replied: 'Na bro, after the flag maybe tho.' He later deleted the comment and then shared a further message on his Instagram page that read: 'Taking the piss fyi … sponsors ily (I love you)'.

Speaking on Tuesday, the AFL's chief executive Andrew Dillon said the League remained in communication with Geelong around Smith's behaviour and any potential ramifications that could follow.

"The team is talking with Geelong and they're talking with Bailey," Dillon said.

"We wouldn't want to see it again."

AFL - It’s Baz Smith, he’s good for the game - we’ll leave it to you to slap him on the wrist - do it gently though

He promises not to do it again. He will do something different next time!

Anyone who went early surely new the risks with Coleman.

there has to be an argument over how many weeks and hours they work for their inflated crust

so much money, complacency is the result

Not sure if this was highlighted yesterday:

Jack Macrae is making progress in his recovery from a punctured lung, with the midfielder tracking towards a Round 14 return following the Saints’ bye next week.

“Jack was extremely resilient dealing with a traumatic injury on the road last week,” EGM of Football David Misson said.

“He’s been back at the club since leaving hospital and, along with a few others, will benefit from the extra week of rest during the upcoming bye.”

admitted the club toyed with the idea of subbing him out of the AFL game, which starts at 4.15pm, early so he could get back to Melbourne in time.

"We'd be getting a bit cute if we did that ... because there could be a risk that someone else gets injured and then we're putting others at risk," Yze said on Wednesday.

"We looked at the option of playing him in the seniors and getting him back on time, but it was just going to be too risky.

Viney has been withdrawn, so there's a chance. They'll probably/should go with Laurie though.

Doubtful. Don’t think we’ll see him for some time TBH. Trade him IMO.

Is that a month now for Jack? Hopefully he misses Kings Birthday too. Unlikely, but love the current midfield lineup.
