Retired #12: Mark Baguley - Will retire at seasons end - 27/8

[boncer34]

Probs should wait until he has demonstrated enough solid form at VFL level too.

Eh

 

[DERO]

Eh

Serious. Not sure whether he is ready yet.

Well I thought you were joking because I don't see how it could possibly matter or affect his studies, it's not like he isn't training or playing games already to focus only on studying.

I think we have our priorities wrong as a football club if we hold back senior selection for year 12 because:
a) Majority of games are played on a weekend
b) Missing a day or two if required won't make a difference to his year 12 studies. School doesn't make you learn, you learn if you want to learn, a few days missed won't change this
c) He is a professional footballer whose primary aim is to play AFL
d) We are a football club trying to win football games (although this point is questionable)
e) Year 12 and the importance it's given is over-rated. Important, but over-rated, not every day matters
f) Most schools if there are projects/assessment papers/exams that count toward state rank are flexible within a day or two of timelines and prior agreements can be made
g) Other exams that matter beyond in-school BS are in off-season; Intra-school exams matter as much as permanent records
h) Majority of games are played on a weekend

In any case no big deal, I just really thought you were joking. But who knows, you could be right.

It was a passing comment, but I believe that for some players the transition into football can be quite challenging, whether or not they are also juggling year 12 studies. Regardless, he'll come in when he's ready and the team selects him.

 

[Beerfish]

Didn't they say at the start of the year we're unlikely to see him much if at all due to him being in year 12?

 

[Duckworth]

Serious. Not sure whether he is ready yet.

He's not ready. Needs to work on finding a way to be more involved in the game over 4 quarters. Last week was his best effort at finding a way to be involved for longer periods. Being named in the squad was a pumping up of his tires that he is going in the right direction. Having said that, I would have been happy to see him in the side over Baguley.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

10 touches in the vfl last week sees him come back in.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Wait, Baguley is in year 12? Ok it makes sense now why they're putting so much development into the young fella.

 

[JayJ20]

Don't really get the point of selecting him.

Having said that, I hope he kicks five goals for the laughs.

4 points a bonus. Mainly for the laughs.

Pretty much spot on with the exception of your last sentence which is pure crazy talk.

So almost no one on our list is ready to play AFL

You sound like my wife, with the exemption of your first 4 words.

So almost no one on our list is ready to play AFL

Heppell calls for patience.

 

[Cold Sober]

Obviously none our assistants stand up when they go to the loo, you'd think one of them could reach the button.

That's a beautiful parable mate.

 

[Zach Package]

I imagine Worsfold makes Baguley wear a Pat McGinnity mask around the club during the week.


Kinky

 

[Old Campaigner]

2 goals, 5 tackles, no obvious *ups. Pretty good performance really, should stay in next game.

 

[calyam]

After the bye there is a reasonable chance that both Stringer and Fantasia are good to go. Can't see him maintaining his spot.

 

[eth-dog]

Stick a fork in him etc

 

[DERO]

I'll laugh my arse off if he comes in for Begley this week.

even better if it was just a spelling mistake in the team sheet and they were too embarrassed to correct it

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

The way we are travelling it wouldn't surprise me for someone to misspell it like "Bagley" and we have 19 players run out and them looking at each other in the forward pocket saying "this is my man, who are you supposed to be on"

 

[Doss]

Josh Bagley and Mark Beguley.

 

[maskmcgee]

Of course on a night where nobody could score a goal to save their life, the one player who should be the first person dropped kicks 2.

 

[Lethal]

Retiring at the end of the season.

Just got the club email.

Thanks for everything Bags.

 

[Kakkle]

Played more games then he had any right to, and at his best he was a very solid small defender.

Aurevoir beauté.

 

[Vander18]

Cannot dispute that he was a warrior. Never shirked, always up for the fight.
In his prime was a better than average small defender.

Congrats and thanks Bags.
