Draft Profile Bailey Smith

[PMBangers]

Bailey Smith - Sandringham Dragons
Midfielder
183 cm 74 kg
18/5/2000

Haven't seen much written about him at this stage, I think he enters the year as a mid first rounder prospect

Played 9 games in TAC Cup this year

Early thoughts and predictions?

2018 highlights: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bailey-smith.1183399/#post-56437381

 

[Langers is Life]

Looks very strong and a good mover with the footy, little bit concerned about his two way running

 

[GoGrows]

will end up as a top 10 pick imo

 

[Pykie]

Sandringham captain and potential Vic Metro captain needs his own thread imo.

Had some absolutely enormous games last year as an underage player and has followed it up in Round 1.

He's a real smoky for a top 5 pick at this stage, I think he will follow a similar top age projection to someone like Brayshaw and Setterfield.

His 2017 numbers

 

[Hellgood]

Know he was playing out of position in context to how he'll be drafted, but from memory of the stream he was the poor bastard who Miers tore a new one in the TAC final last year?

Anyone got any highlights of this lad?

Sounds like a great prospect!

Anyone else think this campaigner looks like Trent from Punchbowl?

I’ve seen enough, kid has a very nice blend of inside/outside qualities as a mid. Good disposal and knows where the goals are

Was thinking more Dexter.

Most mocks have him going pretty high, 5-8 range. Certainly looked classy in the Metro vs Vic Country game, Vic Metro's smoothest looking mid although I still thought Walsh was the best mid on the paddock that day (which is moot, he's going pick 2 at this stage).

 

[Human Person]

This kid is seriously hard on himself. Forced himself to do repeate 200 meter sprints as punishment for playing a bad game. Great professionalism but he probably needs to cool it a little or the AFL could burn him out. That being said, it's always inspiring to hear of someone that dedicated.
