It's always funny watching someone pretend to know what they're talking about and keep digging the hole for themselves while everyone else watches and laughs.Leg strength is not the foundation of anybody's game - a lot of the U18 reps have stick legs and barely any are well developed. The foundations of their game are other things, some then add leg strength.
Bailey probably benches more than he squats. He is not in proportion. That is a problem.
Bailey Smith was currently doing his 6th pre-season, and lord knows how rigorous his training plan was before he was drafted (was extremely well documental how fanatical he was).
As someone who went through the talent pathway until I was 16 (because I wasn't that good), majority of the training programs and strength and conditioning is very leg/core based. There was comparatively little bench pressing. These players legs are extremely well conditioned, and it's a primary reason why many of them are able to perform well in 2km time trials and repeat sprints (which, despite being aerobic, require excellent leg strength to improve).
Bailey is quite powerful in the contest. His legs certainly aren't the issue.
And again, just because he has a six pack and looks incredibly muscular, doesn't mean that he is top heavy. I'd say he'd almost be average in terms of his proportionality. It's an incredibly stupid claim by someone who clearly has no idea what they were talking about.
