Dressed in Geelong’s classic navy and white striped guernsey, the midfielder looked every bit the elite athlete, his powerful frame on full display as he charged across the turf with intensity and flair.

But it wasn’t just his on-field heroics that had tongues wagging over the weekend.
Bailey has found himself at the centre of a media frenzy following reports of a blossoming romance with fitness influencer and mother-of-three Tammy Hembrow.
The pair were spotted enjoying their second beach date on Friday, this time taking a romantic stroll down Nobby’s Beach on the Gold Coast.
In footage shared by Instagram gossip page Influencer Updates AU, Smith was seen with his arm draped around Tammy’s waist as they sipped coffee and wandered along the sand.
The duo reportedly arrived together in Tammy’s car and later left with Bailey behind the wheel.
Tammy later posted a snap from the beach to her Instagram Stories, wearing the same grey tank and denim shorts seen in the paparazzi video.
Meanwhile, Bailey had been seen earlier that day in Melbourne sporting the same black tracksuit he wore during the date.
It’s understood the visit was brief, with the footy player returning to Melbourne before flying to Sydney for Sunday’s match.

Daily Mail exclusively revealed Bailey and Tammy were seen together on a date on the Gold Coast, kissing and sharing lunch at a waterfront restaurant.
Their budding relationship comes just two months after Tammy’s split from ex-husband Matt Zukowski, and it’s already stirred up major controversy online.
Smith hasn’t been weathering the storm of attention around his new romance with Hembrow.
The AFL star was furious with onlookers on Thursday as he got back to work, taking part in a training session with the Geelong Cats in Victoria.
Media and photographers showed up to see the playboy footballer return to the field after his weekend fling with Tammy – only for Smith to direct a string of expletives in their direction.
Smith covered his face as he walked off the pitch following his spray, the Herald Sun reported on Thursday.
It appears the young athlete is unimpressed by the intense interest in his latest love match, and had likewise unleashed on photographers who spotted him at Melbourne Airport after his hookup with Tammy last weekend.
