I don't understand why they act like he's the only player to use an "illicit substance"... Come on guys, get real.
Get better friends Bailey!
Get better friends? Man was caught railing bags on the club dance floor lol. nothing to do with mates, he coulda walked to the cubicle like most other people
I’m tired of hearing “it’s not a good look for kids” and how they’re all supposed to act a certain way for kids and then turn around and show us the gambling odds…..
Legit it’s so hypocritical
ah, but they say "gamble responsibly" each time, so that changes everything
Little bit of snow, play on
Catherine Murphy published an article in 2019 called ‘AFL Concedes Illicit Drugs Policy has Mental Health Loophole’. Read the article and make up your own mind on whether mental health had anything to do with this.
Real kick in the teeth to people genuinely struggling with mental health
@@massimom9668 how so?
Bloke in his early 20’s has coke at a party in the off season, hardly ground breaking. I’m sure some of the boys on the panel might have a cheeky one every now and then!
No
Never, unusual.
it wasnt during the offseason tho, it was in the preseason training period when he took time away from football
It’s not coke it’s ketta
Of course!
People that struggle with mental health on the daily for a lot of their lives must get so annoyed about things like this
I love how he immediately confessed, hopefully he comes back after a big suspension he doesn’t get traumatised or anything
Full respect Tobey, but lets be honest. He apologised after he was exposed. If it wasnt public he would still be doing it, right?
lol only confessed cos he got caught then played mental health card ,i could do same get caught say to my doctor lawyer i have mental health issues lol why not just say yeah i like to party ,melleniul muppets
Haha he got caught now he’s grovelling the lying turd
@@koyami7984 yeah he did the wrong thing but that’s it you confess and you learn!
He’s a flop.
The people who dont think that 80% or more of inner city 21 year olds have done illicite substances are completely disconected from reality. Why is he expected to be so much better then everyone else?
Because he is a public figure, if he wants to be a junkie he can quit the game, i know for a fact there is many clean young men in state leagues that would kill to play at the top level. I cant wait for him to get banned.
@@jackhudson2237 “Junkie”? One bag of rack…… okay mate. Id pay to see these clean young men hit instant fame, wealth and pressure and see what they do. Drugs are riddled through football culture everywhere. Your lifes gotta be pretty sad if you “cant wait” for this young man to lose his career and life from a mistake.
because the other 21 year olds aren't professional athletes and they can handle it unlike b Smith
The main joke is that 80% of the league does coke on a night out, and when they get caught it turns to ‘mental health’, private school partys are full of coke and that’s where all these players came from, media sweeps it under the rug
More like 20% not 80
@@5taybroke you’d be suprised
@@harrisonb9312 some VERY BIG names too
Anyone who reckons it's less than 80% has no clue. Likely the older players with families and just some few responsible ones make up the 20%.
Industry full of blokes in their early 20s and they're all expected to collectively do the right thing. Stupid.
@@5taybroke You're delusional mate. 20% 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah yes. The now, extremely predictable 'mental health' angle of explanation.
'Sorry about getting caught doing blow, I was on a bender after getting embarrassed in the granny'
There. Fixed it for him.
He's already gone public about his mental health issues so why doubt that?
I mean I would rather he say that tbh. if losing a grand final and being a polarising star player at such a young age hurts your mental health so badly you've *got* to snort coke and have a great time to feel better, i mean idk what to say.. get a therapist?😂😂
Agreed.
He may as well not even send out a statement and an apology if he's going to lie.
@@Henlofly you know sweet FA about mental health and even less about drug use
@@jakethecutsnake2360 I'm sure it's so hard being bailey smith 😂
Baglenka
These exposed situations have occurred multiple times across all codes and yet these players continue to naively party ignoring the fact every clown has a device just popping to post that next big story 🤦♂️.
Only sorry he got caught. Stop putting these guys on such bloody high pedestals.
ah yeah coke is the worst of sins
@@TDB2509 mate idgaf what he does. But if you got caught with coke you could go to jail for 15 years. Hence my comment. They get special treatment
@@Perziivaal the law isn't a basis of morality smh lmao
@@TDB2509 look mate if you think coke is fine then good on ya 👍 your reading into what I said more than you have to you.
@@Perziivaal not great but nothing to be held so much in the spotlight for
Bailey snifffff
Pfft. Poor highly paid people earning a living playing a game. They really need our support and sympathy. Anyone else in society can have a criminal record and can go to hell but our precious footballers, they need to be protected
Very different situation and you’re extremely small minded. Young kids getting all this money and pressure on them, they are bound to fall in this situation
I get both sides to the argument but these football players even though they work hard and make sacrifices are also given much more assistance in life then most people. Their club looks after them so much including with life after football in many cases but at some point the players need to take responsibility for their actions and pay the same price as everyday people when they do something wrong. Personally I don’t feel too much sympathy for him nor do I feel the AFL needs to be careful with him, he should be hit hard by the AFL. He is looked up to by many young kids, he has sponsors and a football club he represents also and in the real world if you are employed by a high profile company and do something like this it more than likely ends in termination, he will cop a couple of weeks, a small fine when you look at his salary and maybe some community service, all of this is weak punishment
You seem to be suggesting that we have it right with how we treat drug offenders outside of football? Seems like you have it backwards honestly. Treating addiction as a medical issue seems like a better option than throwing someone into the system and completely ruining any chance of rehabilitation
Can sympathise with both sides
Hmm, there's 2 sides to this argument.. but he's still young.. hopefully he'll learn his lesson and move on..
Don't get how this is a story. Clips of players using get circulated pretty frequently, don't know why this has become a news story when the others don't
I reckon you know why it’s a story mate. One of the most recognisable players in the league. Of course it’s going to be talked about.
Why wasnt this vision shown earlier you have to wonder.
some footy show panelists were renowned hoovers....
He's bloody gorgeous
I think the people who shop at cotton on won't feel holding a baggie of powder is a deal breaker 😂
A lot of the older blokes like to think otherwise but the sad truth is most players use illicit substances during their off peak. A close acquaintance of mine worked as a bartender, and after the Brownlow event, at the after party, more than a dozen players (captains inclusive), corporates and their Mrs were racking lines in the bathrooms. Nothing new.. The staff had a blind eye policy. People are too sheltered and don't want to believe it, its normal. AFL is probably fully aware, hence why the 3 strike rule is probably kept silent.
he will learn from this - in future, he will get better at not getting caught
I’m smoking a joint while watching
Needs a one strike policy, do it once and you’re out, then no one will do it ever again, and if they did they only have themselves to blame. Anyone else would get sacked.
So the reason is mental health for why he took it after the gf loss which was September 25th, he goes on leave during preseason for mental health for a week around December 15th and comes back to training before the Christmas break. The only thing is, none of the media have brang up his statement from Feb 2021 about his mental health issues. The question then should be asked if he's blamed mental health issues for the leaks, how longs he been doing it for if he's had mental health issues since February 2021 and most probably even before that? Then the next question is if its mental health its most likely been going on for alot longer than just after the GF considering after the gf wasn't the first time he's mentioned his mental health issues to the media and the next question would be how'd you cheat the drug tests like Ben Cousins. If he wants to use mental health for drug issues because of a gf loss yet before that mentioned he can't handle the attention he's gotten in life since starting his career which is what Feb 2021 statement is about, the AFL needs to suspend him indefinitely on mental health plan and he can return once he gets the all clear from the psychologist then also make him sign a contract that states they can drug test him at anytime over a 3 year period. If they give him 2 weeks and let him play in 3 are they really looking out for his mental health issues, hes gonna cop it from every opposition supporter, its been leaked hes gotta deal with that, he isn't gonna be mentally fit to play in 3 weeks? If he does play then is mental health just a reason to get out of trouble. That's the way they need to deal with this for the simple fact he mentioned mental health and he's had a long period of time with those mental issues
No one’s reading all of this
@@lukemate2783 you did lmao hahahahah
@G Atkins I suffer from mental health too, I'm alot better than what I was but could slip back into it at anytime.
@G Atkins listen to what Luke Beveridge said and he says the drug policy applies to everyone apart from someone with mental health issues then it's irrelevant wonder why so many have said it now, they don't get into trouble
All the guys on the panel have railed lines like there's no tomorrow pretending like they're so worried about this 😂
Kids: say no to drugs, m'kay.
How hard is it to say no
How can we have one standard for Ben Cousins, but another standard for Bailey? An apple for an apple, and orange for an orange. There needs to be accountability on both ends.
Why are these personal issues happening in this era and not 30 years ago?
Could it be that the game is played way too fast?
Could it be the amount of money these players are earning?
Could it be the enormous pressure put on them to perform when the game itself is not conducive to good football being played because of the stupid confusing game styles?
Why is it that changes aren't being made to bring the game back to where it was 20 years ago.
Slow the game down.
Reduce the number of Interchanges down to around 25 per match.
Force forwards and defenders to stay within their 50 metre arc.
Let the players have control of their diets and whether they drink after games.
Don't allow the team that won the previous flag to recruit elite players.
If your goung to have player drafts then don't allow player trades from club to club.
You will never get a fair competition if you allow the team who won the flag to gain elite players from lower placed clubs.
Kane cornes needs to tested I reckon..
looking pretty slim!!!
He runs over 100km a week champ
@@bridgeenthusiast8299 "champ" lol
Willie Rioli smoked a spliff and missed 2 years of football. Interesting to see what the AFL do about this.
Willi also tampered with his drug test
@@lewisf16 dont mention the real reason he got suspended that long, Charles thought he made a really solid point!
Hopefully permanent ban
Still can't believe too this day he tried too use powerade or gatorade for his wee sample 🤣
Am I missing something here? I thought drug possession was an criminal offence, I didn't realise it was an AFL sanction. Tony Mokbel should have played for Footscray.
Are you daft? Taking drugs is not a criminal charge, it's a civil charge (i.e fines etc..) It's only an offence if the user has trafficked or cultivated it.
@@Lmclean89 it was meant as a joke, either you follow footscray or you missed the punch line. Although the maximum for possession is 1 year, very unlikely he will get anything tho because he can kick a football.
Absolutely no one elses business, especially the AFL
I disagree. He is currently under contract to the Bulldogs, an AFL club. He’s also one (was one) of the most marketable players in years. While I think their private live if their private life the fact that this has gone public means it needs to be addressed properly and through the right channels.
@@reubs91 ooohh, a contract!!!
As to look at the “extreme” side of it...It was ben cousins business but it was best if he got as much help as possible rather then scrutiny from others. It’s not hiding it, it’s helping him out since he said he was “in a bad patch” after the granny and making sure guys are able to bounce back without needing to run to drugs
@@garethhermann7901 I’m under contract to the company I work for now. It’s quite tight and I can leave anytime. But they pay me a decent salary to offset what i give up in addition to my time.
A lot of people are under contract in this world.
No ones business, lol. If our workplaces saw this we'd be fired. If cops pulled us over with it and we went to court, we'd have it as a criminal record... which is meant to be regarded as meaningful by workplaces but I guess it's all well and dandy in the AFL.
It's great he was caught! Maybe this will stop him going down the wrong path. 🤔
Still a lot of ignorant old timers here, if you earn good money or even just reasonable money, using Coke is incredibly common. More of an issue is it a one off, a rare, occasional incident or more regular habit?
Probably this is why he's getting so much attention. The headbutt and now the pic... someone at the Bulldogs wants him to clean up I think.
I think you're being a little ignorant yourself towards the old timers.
Most old timers have done these types of things before, but are older and wiser now and can see what path this can lead to for a young fella.
As you mention, if this was a one off, then it shouldn't be too much of an issue to help Smith.
But if it's a regular thing, then he needs help.
The fact he went on a 3 day bender after the GF says to me it wasn't his first time....
You learn in primary school not to take drugs, how much of a dumb ass do you have to be to actually do it when you’re a grown man, particularly in his position.
The only think he’s ashamed of is getting caught.
This was a joke, treated like a precious child, all positive positive, "He could go on to be captain" how bloody ridiculous is the timing of that statement 🙄 Anyone else is pays the price for breaking the law in the real world. Not Bailey Smith though.
Yep.
He wasn’t breaking the law. Trafficking cocaine is, but not using. Also, being young and dumb is not against the law...unfortunately.
Are you braindead lmao, you want to walk into any club on the weekend and arrest every single person doing drugs? good luck
@@divad23 Using Cocain is against the law, it's simple possession, all illegal drug use remains as a criminal offence. Despite the outcome or punishment.
@@kellywatts6227 I stand corrected. Damn, a lot of ppl out there breaking the law every day.
When will people learn?... If you feel it necessary to be indulging in such habits.... Probably don't have your MATES film it and post it online. And as for his depression for coming second???
Mate I'm a Carlton supporter. I should have a heroin addiction by now!!
As long as he ain't doing performance enhancing drugs I'm cool with it Bailey 😂
Where was the sympathy for Willie Rioli????? He got two years for smoking some weed??!!!!!!
I will deadset eat my sock if Bailey Smith ever becomes a captain for anything, let alone an AFL team. Bloke clearly only cares about himself. He's a good footballer but to say he is captain-material is just ridiculous.
There are mistakes and then there are mistakes. Just ask Tim Paine.
This woke industry is probably the only one in the world that actively prys into a players private life. What he has done is his business, good or bad.. if a mechanic from Werribee takes an "illicit substance" would he be facing sanctions from his work industry? No.. so why the double standards?
Why also would an alleged friend do something like this to him? I wouldn't want him to go down the path of Sam Fisher, but gees Louise.. he hasn't committed a capital offence.
Its only because he got caught. If you work for a company where you're in the spotlight and what you do publicly, effects said company, there are going to be consequences for certain actions. If you were a lawyer for high end clients and had viral photos of yourself appear online you would most likely get fired... At least the AFL doesn't generally do that.
Actually yes, many industries now have random drugs tests, and people can lose their jobs for taking illegal drugs.
Well how about if you're going to get stuck into a bag, don't film yourself doing it....
The kid is an idiot.
New age Ben Cousins
Will he get 2 years, like the Collingwood boys did ??
He knew exactly what he was doing. Tired of these highly paid players blaming mental health for needing time or this type of issue. There are people with real issues and these stars make it look like a joke. I'm sure it's not the first gf ya lost. He knew the cameras were there, probably had someone filming it on his own phone. U actually think he's that naive. He is a social media super star. How'd modra n west coast get caught with no camera.
Normal people have to go to court when they get done with dope. The mental illness excuse is a joke
Bollox.
@@jakethecutsnake2360 Okay, put a baggie of coke in your pocket and get yourself pulled over by the cops. When they pat you down and find it, just tell them you're suffering mental health. Let's see if that gets you out of being thrown into a divvy van, booked and put in a cell with a criminal record. Fool.
Crocodile tears and a statement drafted for him no doubt!
If you have the talent to play a sport professionally you can’t have a life apparently
Get a grip. If any of our workplaces saw this we'd all be reprimanded, and if the cops catch us with it, are they saying we're just "' 'avin a life"? nah. Put a sock in it. We'd lose our jobs or go to jail. Enough of the double standards, and also the projection (just because you think being a junkie means having a life doesn't mean that's the norm for everyone else who actually has their life in order)
Bailey smith does cocaine and on the news they are saying he might be suspended for a few weeks Willie Rioli had a joint and got 2 years 🤪
Willie tampered with his test
Poor extremely well paid professional Australian footballer. I couldn't handle losing a grand final so I went off the rails because I wasn't mature enough to handle it.
And if it is an illicit substance, let's hope the police get involved, and charge him. But they won't, because footballers in Victoria are treated like gods, when so many of them are just morons. Like Smith.
i hate listening to purple.. hes so annnooying
Seriously stop trying to channel warrick capper and go with your true form of Caitlin Jenner. What sort of sport has this girl and a rampaging crackhead as champions of the game haha. Aussie rules is a joke
Boo hoo, Bailey Smith is always going to be a druggo.
