Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[Heaps of fun]

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.

Wins contests and wants to kick goals as well.

raved about him all last year.

if we are rewarding professionalism, training effort and above all practice match form, then he is currently in the best 22.

Yep, and people that say he’s too skinny have NFI

That's what people said about Jaidyn Stephenson. 22 games later he's kicking goals in a grand final.

As I said earlier, he’s exactly the same height and weight as Fyfe was in his first year and Fyfe played 18 games.

Of which I'm sure Fyfe benefitted greatly from those 18 games in his progression.

If Bailey keeps showing this level of intent & result he can have those 18 games. Easily.

Exciting prospect.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Really love his attitude his balance and a ability to cover the ground this early in his career is exciting.

Has all the tools.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Should play ahead of some supposedly best 22 types.

He reminds me of a peak Leigh Adams

And that’s off one pre season game

Plays round 1

 

[The Filth Wizard]

An extraordinarily smart player and his handball is aces. He did one during this game I had to rewind to see if it actually was one.

Spoiler alert: it was.

We've got one here. Tarryn looks like he's got all the skills so if Taylor ends up a player (I think he will, he seems like he has something to prove after sitting in on the first night of the draft) we've totally wiped up this draft. Crock can just be icing.

He is too skinny, but skinny guns can still deliver.

He’s skinny, not too skinny!

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

The best first game performance of any of our draftees in many a long year. Just looks like a naturally smart player who can accumulate.

Goes straight onto a wing for mine.

 

[Snake_Baker]

A sure bet. Might need another year at best, but will be a 200 game player.

Spoiler

reminds me of Wayne Schimmelbusch. Stays in the contest to an elite level

He seemed to have a lot of time when the balls was in his hands. Very impressive for a guy playing his first game against AFL opposition.

Takes the ball, props, assesses and disposes like a pro.

 

[Passmore]

When was the last time we had a little skinny kid come in and rack up 20 touches from the day one?

He looks like he's ready to roll in the seniors straight up and contribute, not just be in there for a taste.

I must admit, while watching Bailey in action yesterday, it never once crossed my mind that he looked skinny. He, certainly, skinned that Saints player just before quarter time, though!

I loved Leigh adam's. Haven't really replaced his type since he left.

 

[spurs]

WOW! Super impressed. We have a player here. Best pick 49 of all time. Will play 15+ games this year.

 

[giantroo]

You can just about bet Bailey will be playing plenty of senior footy this year.
