Western Bulldogs star midfielder Bailey Smith has been caught appearing to sniff an unknown substance in a shock partying video.
The video, separate to the image of Bailey holding a bag with white powder — shows the Bulldogs star with a woman who says, “I need a straw’.
Just moments later the Bulldogs star leans over, appears to sniff something and then wipes his nose.
It is understood the video was taken late last year, weeks after the Bulldogs lost the 2021 Grand Final to Melbourne in Perth.
After that loss there had been concerns about Smith’s partying and behaviour.
Insiders said the errant off-field behaviour ended when Smith took time out from the game for mental health reasons late last year.
Since then, they say there has been no issues with his off-field activities, which has reflected in his career-best form as he works towards a bumper new contract at the end of the season.
It is understood he has been “in a great space” off the field this year since his time out of the game.
BULLDOGS INVESTIGATING SMITH ‘WHITE POWDER’ PICTURES
Pictures that appear to be of Western Bulldogs star Bailey Smith holding a bag containing a white substance have emerged on social media in the latest controversy to hit the AFL.
The images surfaced on Saturday morning.
In the images Smith is NOT shown taking the powder. The images have been widely distributed online.
The Sunday Herald Sun does not know what the substance is or the context of the photos.
When contacted on Saturday morning the club released the following statement: “The Western Bulldogs are aware of images of Bailey Smith circulating on social media.

“The Club is investigating the legitimacy of these images and is not in a position to comment further at this time.”
Triple premiership skipper Luke Hodge urged the Bulldogs to closely monitor Smith’s welfare in the wake of an investigation into photos emerging online of the star midfielder holding up a bag containing a white substance.
Hodge said on SEN: “What the Doggies have to do is make sure this kid is OK because he is going to be rock bottom right now.”
“There will be out there saying yeah so he should be and fair enough in that opinion, but the most important thing for the next few weeks or few months while he is trying to improve or make up for any mistake he might have done, he is going to be rock bottom.
“It is a big job for his friends and his family and the Western Bulldogs and they need to look after him.”

Shane Mumford was suspended for two games and fined $25,000 in 2018 after a photo of him from 2015 snorting white powder off a table was revealed.
Former Crows Brad Crouch - now with St Kilda - and Tyson Stengle - now with Geelong - were banned for two and four games respectively for “conducting unbecoming” after they were found to be in possession of an illicit substance in 2020.
Under the AFL’s illicit drugs policy, players including Crouch and Mumford, who have confessed to drug use, are handed a strike under the code.
A video has emerged of Bailey Smith partying in a nightclub tapping his nose with his index finger after the 2021 grand final.
He is not shown taking any substances in the video, which was posted by a TikTok user in October and captioned: “Best night of my life”.

In a separate video posted by Bailey Smith on his personal TikTok account last week, he is captured partying with his shirt off.
In the video, he’s showing off his tattoos, before the person filming jokingly puts their hands to his throat and calls him “daddy”.
Smith said recently he doesn’t drink alcohol and tries to live a clean life.
The Bulldogs have the bye this weekend and Smith is currently serving a two-match suspension for headbutting Geelong’s Zach Tuohy.
The brilliant young out-of-contract superstar has been one of football’s most dominant players this season as he works towards a new deal that could be worth up to $800,000 a season.
Smith has been acclaimed for his openness in dealing with mental health issues which saw him take time away from the game during the last off-season.
The AFL is aware of the existence of the photos as they seek clarification.

There are certain rules, as much as they are soft, where 50M penalties are applied such as creeping a metre over the mark, not leaving the protected area and so on. These rules are not being applied against the bears.
The ARC is a farce.
LOL... that is an impossible call. Is it the Edge or the ARC? Either way, it is an abomonation.

Bailey Smith is set to accept a strike under the AFL’s illicit drugs code and a suspension after video of his post-grand final partying emerged on social media.
Bailey Smith will concede his period of cocaine use to AFL investigators and accept a likely two-week ban after being caught on video using drugs last year.
