How to tune into Sport NationBailey Smith involved in confrontation with photographer

Bailey Smith has reportedly verbally abused a photographer at Geelong training.
The Herald Sun’s Lauren Wood is reporting that the Cats star accused the News Corp photographer of trying to “bait” him.
Smith had words over the fence after he received treatment on his back.
The All-Australian is believed to have said “stop trying to bait me” after he was snapped on a rubdown table on the interchange bench, which he described as a “private moment”.
The photographer responded by saying she was simply doing her job, to which Smith replied: “you doing a f---ing s--t job”.
It is the second time this year that the 24-year-old has reacted strongly to the media at training after an incident in mid-August.
