Overview

• During an invited media session at Kardinia Park on September 10, Bailey Smith confronted News Corp photographer Alison Wynd and demanded she delete images taken while he received treatment.
• Witnesses and Wynd report Smith used expletives, telling her she was "doing a f---ing shit job," before returning to continue the tirade.
• News Corp published an image showing Smith raising his middle finger toward the camera as he was being treated on the bench.
• Wynd says this is the second time this season Smith has singled her out, and the midfielder has already been fined twice this year by the AFL for obscene gestures during games.
• Geelong forward Shannon Neale emphasized the need for respect in media interactions and praised Smith's on-field energy, while commentators called for apologies and no AFL sanction had been announced.
