AFL Star Faces License Loss After Speeding at 125km/h

Geelong Cats player Bailey Smith is facing the loss of his driver’s license after a recent speeding incident. He was clocked driving at 125 km/h near his home on the Surf Coast. This occurred while he was hurrying back to check on the welfare of his animals during recent bushfires in Victoria.

AFL Star’s License Suspension

Due to exceeding his demerit points, Smith will lose his driver’s license for three months. This marks an unfortunate beginning to the year for the AFL star, who has garnered headlines for both his on-field performances and off-field controversies.

Controversial Challenges

• Geelong’s Mad Monday plans were canceled after the team posted an inappropriate image and caption involving veteran reporter Caroline Wilson.
• Former West Coast Eagle Mitch Brown criticized Smith for making a homophobic reference during the celebrations.
• Smith received a warning from the AFL for verbally abusing a photographer during a training session.

Upcoming AFL Origin Clash

Despite these challenges, the 25-year-old forward is set to represent Victoria in the upcoming AFL Origin clash. This follows a successful All-Australian season, during which he was praised for his openness regarding mental health issues at the awards night.
