Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

hes a stick thin version of sam gibson unfortunately but faster

Gibbo used the ball better than Scott.

Hard to believe sure but it's true.

In fact I think Gibbo was a better player. (unless Scott improves)

just as bad by foot imo but scott worse by hand

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Yes I'd agree with that.

Gibbo knew his limitations and played within them, Scott *s up so many fwd chains by hand it's ridiculous.

 

[Liam Boy]

I don't think Scott is actually a bad kick, you rarely see him go for a specific option and shank it. He's just usually the player in the unenviable position of having to dispose of the ball when there's absolutely no movement and the only option that's even a 50/50 is bombing it long

i know the Ziebull cops a fair bit of flack on here for their opinion of young Bailey but I think I'm starting to agree with his sentiment. I think he needs to become more dangerous with ball in hand, break the lines with gut running etc.

Totally serviceable sml defender but doesn't offer much on the rebound. Wouldn't play a lock down roll on a small dangerous type ie Green, Cameron because he isn't strong enough.

I actually think he has the attributes, he just needs to start playing football rather than following coaches orders perfectly. Can be more than a role player imo.

i was so wrong.

 

[Lomas]

i was so wrong.

Kudos, need more of this on here.

 

[amaz199]

He is a footballer we desperately need because we actually don't have many like him that can run, distribute and cleanly dispose of the ball. Nice goal too.



He is perfect for Marvel. We need him.

 

[SMaturin]

He’s a great little player. Really rate him.

Keeps his feet too, not something easily taught.

 

[Psicosis]

Well, turns out we had a competent young wingman that runs hard both ways on our list already, our previous coach just thought trying to recreate Perez and him in each other’s natural positions was a good idea.

Good on Bailey, he’s going to have a good consistent and underrated career for us.

 

[prodigalson]

How good was our number 8 today! He continuously runs hard and follows up. If we had 22 blokes that tried as hard as Bailey each week we would be a better football side.

 

[koshari]

Faded a bit in 2nd half but was really on early.

was swapped to the other wing where the ball didn't appear as much. my mate lost a $150 bet on him getting 19.5+ at $2

 

[Horizons_00]

Turns out he keeps proving some people on here wrong.

He played well again. Another 50-100 games, some weight training and he is our upgraded Gibson

 

[gokangas]

Surely gets another 2 years. Playing like a bloke negotiating a new contract.

I lost as well I meant. F you Taylors lol

 

[r_boy]

I think he will end up in the leadership group

Looks so much like his dad just needs to bulk himself up

Different shape to his dad. Bailey is long and lean. But he does need to get stronger .

 

[The Nostradamus]

Enough is enough should be in the vfl till he learns how to take care with the ball in hand

 

[Mjs94]

Gut runs when our other mids just jog, how he hasn't spent the last 3 years developing on a wing I don't know.

Anyone who thinks he doesn't have a role at AFL level for us does not understand how a football team is structured, simple as that.

He just never stops moving. Definition of workhorse.

Ridiculous comment - we wouldn't have a team if that was the selection criteria at the moment.
