Bailey Smith’s whereabouts have been revealed after he posted a cheeky tag on Instagram.

The Bulldogs star made out that he was in Barryville, New York, on Wednesday night, but he was making reference to a side project he’s working on surrounding the name Barry.

His happy post in Melbourne was still a sign that he isn’t letting speculation around his future affect an off-season break.

After the club missed out on playing finals he was pictured with teammates including Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Laith Vandermeer.

The trio were alongside Richmond forward Maurice Rioli Jr.

Smith captioned his picture: “ah yes. a headlock” with Ugle-Hagan leaving a comment: “still tapped out”.

Talk about Smith, 22, being disgruntled at the Bulldogs has been swirling for months but the club and his management are adamant that the most followed player on Instagram will remain there next season.

Several commentators raised concerns with Fox Footy’s Jordan Lewis questioning his commitment to football last week.

Smith’s manager Paul Connors hit out at the critics, saying it was tall poppy syndrome.

He said Smith would stay at the Bulldogs.

“He’ll be at the Bulldogs, I feel like the more we say it the less people don’t listen,’’ Connors said.

“He’s been a bit tired, a bit sore, go back, refresh, reset, he’s looking forward to a big year.”
