Bailey Smith was recruited to the Western Bulldogs with pick number seven in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft, making his debut in Round 1, 2019 against the Sydney Swans. The first-round draftee features prominently in the Bulldogs midfield, and has proven he can match it with the best – highlighted by impactful performances in both the 2021 semi-final against Brisbane and 2021 preliminary final against Port Adelaide. Primarily a ball-winning midfielder, Smith has an ability to play multiple roles, including across half-forward and along the wing. He is impactful around the contest, with elite endurance and strength, but is likely to miss majority of the 2024 season due to an ACL injury.
