Geelong claimed a massive win over Collingwood Saturday, taking down the ladder-leaders by three points in a thriller that came down to after the final siren. 

Cats new star recruit Bailey Smith was huge in the contest, finishing with one goal, 34 disposals, and over 700 metres gained. 

But it was comments from the 24-year-old after the game that turned heads, with Smith using the post-game interview to take a dig at his former side the Western Bulldogs.

Bailey Smith is in the midst of his first year with Geelong, joining the club after requesting a trade from the Bulldogs at the end of 2024. 

While both his current and former sides have been flying so far this year, Smith couldn't help but taking a hit at the club he spent the first six years of his career with, after being asked about the impressive crowd of over 82,000 at the match.

"It's beautiful mate, not getting that at Ballarat," Smith said. 

Geelong will now look ahead to next week, when they host the GWS Giants on Sunday afternoon.
