While it might have seemed like he was just sharing a workout, he exposed more than just his training techniques if you catch my drift.
The video started innocently enough with some boxing as he tries to stay in shape as the off-season gets into full swing.
But he also looked to do a cold plunge in his pool, stripping off his trackpants to give his 336,000 followers more than an eyeful of what he’s packing.
And the fans were impressed.
Former Western Bulldogs star Billy Gowers didn’t go for any subtlety, posting: “How’s the wand on him”.
AFL legend Buddy Franklin wrote simply: “Wow”.
Fans were also having some fun with the post.
One fan commented: “Think I just got pregnant.”
Another said: “Just fell to my knees at Coles.”
A third posted: “That’s not a rolled up contract extension for the doggies in there is it …”
Another said: “3 Brownlow votes.”
A fifth said: “Is it performance enhancing to play AFL with 3 legs?
Smith has become a social media sensation but wasn’t able to grace the field in 2024 after suffering an ACL knee injury at training in December.
However, after his sixth season at the Bulldogs where he didn’t get on the field at all, Smith has asked for an exit during the trade period.
The Bulldogs said on Monday they would work to ensure they were “fairly compensated” for the out-of-contract midfielder, who has played 103 games and was one of the best players of the 2021 finals series.
Smith has been linked to Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn this season, but he is yet to nominate his preferred landing spot for the 2025 season.
“Western Bulldogs midfielder Bailey Smith has informed the club of his desire to seek a trade this off-season,” a Bulldogs statement read in early September.
“The 23-year-old is yet to nominate a preferred club. Given Bailey’s immense talent, age and proven ability to influence games, the club will work diligently to ensure it is fairly compensated throughout the process.”
Three-time All-Australian Jack Macrae is also set to leave the Bulldogs in the trade period.
