Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[Snake_Baker]

Anyone else think he will be 'rested' for Ahern?

Depends on his recovery.

We'll need his skill set v Hawthorn.

 

[Scottroo]

Everything this club has done in 2019 has been amateur, from the membership to the footy department

 

[Flawed Genius]

As in Tony Jones?

Correct

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Had gastro leading into the game apparently.

Explains the drop in TOG% from 80's to around 50% in the second half of the game.

So we held TT over as the emergency, knowing that Dumont might not come up and Bailey Scott was crook with gastro?

What were they thinking?

 

[tazaa]

McKay was crook in round 1 and it seems Bailey copped it

He ran up the race at 1/4 time, obviously for a pit stop.

 

[The Warlord]

Correct

Is how that game works.

 

[susurrar]

that kick to hall though.

in before hes dropped...

 

[muttley45]

Brave decision to play under duress, but probably not best for the team, no disgrace to put up your hand when not capable of 100% performance, we have depth for a reason, imo.

The game is the game

 

[The Warlord]

The game is the game

I think you'll find it is "The game be the game".

 

[Flawed Genius]

I think you'll find it is "The game be the game".

But you cannot lose if you do not play

Would you in your second ever game after just winning a rising star nom?

Is that the individualistic mentality we want at the club?

No idea if he was really sick or not. What I do know is that our players report in with their "wellness" checks when they front up each time at Arden Street.

Assuming he gave an honest one, maybe it would've been smarter to not play him? If he gave a dishonest report, well that's not great is it?

All speculative though because I've not seen anything official that Bailey was unwell.

Its a kid in his second game and his dad played for Denis Pagan. I'd imagine its more that he doesn't want to let people down or give in to weakness than he selfishly wants games.

 

[ferball]

Fair enough about the speculation too.

 

[Dan]

Still did some good things despite having a quiet game.

 

[Bigeasy]

I just assumed our development guys finally got to him.

 

[tazaa]

* he was good yesterday
Set up two late goals by working through Hawthorns defence when other senior teammates tried their hardest to * it up
Feel for him

 

[DrZaius]

One thing I really like from Bailey is the way he tackles. He’s slight so isn’t tackling to hurt, but he always pins the arm and simultaneously tries to knock the ball out to get the free kick. Is very switched on.

 

[Devington]

**** he was good yesterday

Feel for him

The way he constantly disposed of the ball smartly and cleanly and then ran to be another link in the chain BUT had to pull a 180 because someone ****ed up was depressing, but also exciting because he so often managed to actually clean up for them.

No idea how he can be so composed, it's incredible.

 

[susurrar]

that goal he set up was awesome. atley wont want to see that footage again....

 

[Jasemon]

Would love it if someone could post a clip of that particular piece of footage

 

[King Corey]

He's played some great football in spite of our system.

Shudder to think how he'd be going at Hawthorn or... Geelong
