Mitch Brown blasts Bailey Smith as a ‘homophobic loser’ over Geelong star’s mad Monday antics

Bailey Smith has been branded as a “homophobic loser” by former Eagle Mitch Brown after making a Brokeback Mountain joke as part of his Mad Monday celebrations.
The Geelong midfielder turned up to the Cats’ Mad Monday celebrations dressed as Brad Pitt’s character from the hit movie Legends of the Fall.
On his way in, a grinning Smith told reporters he hadn’t “sunk piss all weekend, so I’m due.”

Smith captioned the clip: “or brokeback mountain depends how ya look at it” and “this is what losing a granny does to ya.”

Brown, the first AFL player to come out as bisexual, slammed the posts urging the Geelong players to do better on his Instagram story.
Brown published a picture of Heath Ledger who plays the lead character Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, before following up with a message for the controversial Cat.
“In all seriousness, though, guys do better,” he wrote on his story.
“Last time I checked, losing a Grand Final doesn’t make you gay, but being homophobic definitely makes you a loser.”


Smith may also find himself in hot water after adding a photo of teammate Max Holmes dressed as Channel Seven analyst Caroline Wilson with Smith captioning it “Caro has never looked better,” before quickly deleting the post.
Wilson has been critical of Geelong and Smith’s behaviour throughout the season, most recently when he abused a female photographer at a training session and after coach Chris Scott left a junior female AFL staffer in tears following a blow-up following a press conference in the first week of the finals.
The antics come only weeks after Smith apologised to Geelong Advertiser journalist Alison Wynd for verbally abusing her earlier this month.
