Smith's management speaks
Bailey Smith's manager Paul Connor has revealed his player was calm throughout the process, despite it going down to the wire.
"I actually can't express how relaxed he was ... he wanted a fresh start and there isn't much more to it than that," he told AFL Trade Radio.
Daniels to North the 'perfect marriage'
