Trial By Social Media – Bailey Smith And The World He Created

I had to yesterday – I stood around at school, as I dropped my daughter off for another day of learning… and whatever else happens at that place, and one bloke who knows I own this site came up and had a chat to me. He likes to talk footy, and he’s knowledgeable about it, so I like to listen.

The subject he broached this morning was Bailey Smith, and the content of his latest Instagram post that was upsetting people.

Which one, I hear you ask?

Good question.

In this particular post, he labelled former Herald-Sun head football writer, Mark Robinson, as “Slobbo”, and the usual suspects their marbles again.

The remainder of this article is for our members. They support me, and I provide for them. It’s a good deal.

Oh… a Mongrel paywall… the worst of all paywalls. Why? Because HB believes work such as this is worth a mere pittance per day. Whilst you could stick with Caro’s Arrow or Kane’s Vol-Kane-O, you’ll get your 500 words in the newspaper and be happy… when they’re not on holiday. The Mongrel NEVER stops. Trades, Free Agency, Draft, Pre-Season, Practice Games… we’re all in. You could dump the mainstream and dive articles like this. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. You’re welcome to join and keep reading if you do.
