Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[The Warlord]

Having done lots of interviews over the years, this really impresses me.

He's nervous, and has a few tics (obviously!) but he gets his messages across articulately, and because he understands what he's meant to be doing for the team, is helps him overcome the nerves.

I reckon the coaches would love him, he'd be really easy to coach.

 

[Heaps of fun]

As I said prior to the draft. There is really no downside with this kid. All upside.

His speed has really impressed me, I thought he tested quite average for that at draft camp?

Has that real long striding running style like Isaac Smith. Could see him being a player in that mould but with a lot harder edge.

Lots to like about him.

Just looked at his stats. Forgot that he's a genuine clearance winner. Won 4.5 a game in the div 1 Champs. He really has all the tools to be a complete midfielder. Will be up to him for how good he wants to be.

 

[Footywizard]

After watching all his under 18 vision prior to the draft I never thought Scott was this quick. He looked lightning in our intra club.
Pleasently surprised. With Polec Dumont Hall all elite wingers now adding in a Scott is giving us some good outside run to go with our inside bulls. List management has been on point. Although gaff would have been nice too

 

[King Corey]

Not for much longer.

?

 

[Grogg]

sometimes you just get a feeling that a young player would give up his kidney to make the grade
I reckon this guy has that in spades

Totally with you on that.

When I first saw him in the champs last year I immediately thought bulletproof. Speed, stamina, determination, neat skills, excellent in the contest.

Bulletproof.

what's the knock on young Bailey ? Why did he slide to pick #49? He looks every bit a gun in the making and I haven't heard a single bad word about him

I think his skinnyness would have turned away a few recruiters.

And I think he’s perceived lack of stand out weapons

He fluctuated in projections the main knock was great runner but average every where else and not damaging with his disposal.

And I think he’s perceived lack of stand out weapons

That reminds me of Clarke
Hopefully not the case

 

[Billy Not Really]

That reminds me of Clarke
Hopefully not the case

Clarke had an actual lack of stand out weapons as opposed to perceived.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Not a good week for them.

Which might help explain Bon's lack of sleep.

Other clubs would have identified other players in the knowledge we would be picking him up.

 

[Event Horizon]

That's right. I have no doubt he would have gone much earlier on the open market.

 

[SunnyBoner]

Not for much longer.

Say what???

 

[Firestarter]

Say what???

Going to coach his childhood club.

 

[nelroo]

Just on the Scott family.. what’s young Darby like?? If he is any good, you’d have to think we’d be in box seat to get him to nominate us so he can play with his brother.

Apparently on our radar.

 

[The Other Dean]

Looked in good nick in his first-up hitout. Will be much better with a run under his belt, too.

Mitch Duncan I mean.

 

[Steele7]

Should get his Dads old number 8 next year.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I know its only JLT but he's already looking like an absolute steal at 49.

Good skills, good footy brain, actually lowers the eyes and hits targets.

 

[Pykie]

I said I think he’d average 25 touches in the VFL straight off the bat.

I should of said AFL.

 

[Dingster]

Will just get better and better. Looking forward to watching him for many years.

 

[Pykie]

Will just get better and better. Looking forward to watching him for many years.

He’s smart and knows how to get the ball.

He’s quick with a huge engine.

When he puts on 5-10kg of lean muscle he’s going to be an elite wingman.

 

[Val Keating]

We’ve got a player here. Knows how to find the ball.
