But can't you love down the coast and play in Melbourne?

It's only like an hour away.

mate these footy players are cooked. ollie henry had 'homesick' from Geelong and was 1 hour away. legit you can get from olympic park to geelong in 50 minutes if traffic is kind.

i grew up there, and like any small/medium town - most people who grow up there either never leave, or leave and never come back (i'm the latter). so the younger guys that are there generally have roots in geelong, and its appealing for older guys as they get away from the city life but remain arms length with it.

the whole town is just footy obsessed. entire social rankings, personal reputations & networks is based on how good you were at footy, or how well connected you are in the local and VFL/AFL leagues.

its just an odd place. the coast is nice though.

The Hot Chicken project is a good enough reason to move to Geelong for mine

Why Bailey Smith left the Bulldogs, and the comment that cut them the deepest.​

source "the age"
Good article , doesn't mention lines of white powder
 
He is in danger of believing his own propaganda and thinking he’s bigger than the game

I like banter and people saying stupid shyte, but he needs to keep this talk behind closed doors, with trusted friends

The family friendly image of the game is worth much, much more to the AFL than Bailey Smith is
 
Gotta love Chris Scott's assessment of the situation.. back the boys in, some colour in the game, & show personality, not a league of robots.
He didn't once seem to touch on the logical points...
Bailey has a history of drug use (resulting in a suspension) a lack of self control & of course the(self confessed) mental health issues.
I know they do things "differently" down there but with this and things like Stengle's three prior police incidents,
it's starting to seem like they prioritize winning over all else.
Surely a road to ruin, No?

Chris Scott is starting to be asked every week about Baz, the Dogs game, now the nose beer comment, so far has handled it well, just wondering when he will tire of it?

Baz is taking up a lot of media content, including BF. He's certainly high maintenance.

He would front the media 4 hours a day every day if it meant Bailey was in Brownlow territory

Rather that than having to front up to the media about some journalist disrespecting you.
Precious much Bevo :grinning:

Got to give it to him but, he's having an absolute elite season. Yes it was the Bombers, but he was sublime on the weekend. Doing all the stuff he promised ~4 years ago. His gut running, 2nd efforts, decision making, absolutely elite.

I reckon he’ll tap a nose keg if they win the flag
