Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[Billy Not Really]

Also to consider
1 - it was his 5th game
2 - his last AFL game was 19/4/19 vs * (14 months ago)
3 - his last VFL game was 16/6/19 (12 months ago)

Deserves a decent run of games, unquestionably.

I can handle whatever mistakes he might make if he can put out 1 bit of play that helps us win, and his goal was very important.

He’s first out especially since we are now contending

I'll get serious about our contention if we can win next week.

It's been a very long break and the footy landscape needs time to settle before I can see where we stand in this, but for now we're a good chance.

“Bailey was fantastic. He was one of our better players. He was everywhere. He was really good last week as well, so he’s put two good games together. He spent a bit of time inside, as well as the wing.”

Would be a handy in v Bulldogs

 

[giantroo]

Great roving from Bailey.

That post hasn't aged well.....

 

[shinboner magic]

Just about replace bailey with hall.
Better to look to future if hall keeps disappearing

Bailey Scott

“Bailey was great again. He’s gone back and worked really hard on his game. He’s doing the work in training and put himself in a great position for selection.”

Surely plays this week. I don’t see any reason to keep him out of the side.

Other than his goal, I thought this moment from Bailey was good even though he gave away the FK. 3-1 in our forward line, Dons running it out and he put in the defensive effort to chase them down and it almost paid off.

^ Another * dive rewarded.

Still don’t see it with him

his body is clearly not afl ready

I have two things to say about this.

In chronological order, if Bailey had felt the touch on his back when he was pushed by #33 (15m out from goal) and went to ground like Zaharakis did all night, he would have got a free himself. Then, the free paid against him - that was dubious at best. The * player lost balance and Scott only landed in his back as a consequence of #13 going down.

If Bailey had dived, then he might have got a chance to score but at the risk of his reputation. I'm glad he stood up, and even happier that he chased a bloke down the way he did.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Still way too early to make a call either way.

I see strong kicking skills, pace and hard two way running. He kicked a crucial goal which a number of our senior players over the years have missed (Hamish, Lindsay, Drew etc). Not bad for a kid, he needs more games at the expense of Hall, Ahern, Atley and JMac.

can't wait for you to call for him to be dropped every time he plays

Much like an NBA "professional foul", drawing the free kick there gave us a minute to set up.
That's how I saw it when watching anyway

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Bailey will be fine - poise, good game sense and great around goal.

Should play at least 8 of the remaining games.

200 game wingman/hff/mid in the making.

Right in front of me & I thought the same.

 

[amaz199]

Needs to stay in the side for midfield rotation.

He has so much upside that we need to see more of and the only way we can see it is AFL exposure. With no VFL and a severely tainted season, this is our best opportunity to see what the kids can do.

To not give the kids a crack is reminiscent of the Scott era and we can conclude we've learnt nothing.

That was a terrible free.

Correct he;s not AFL ready as is two years from that. hence why he 'slipped'. I'm ok with that, I did laugh though at those saying he needs to play and then turn round and say he was s**t.
