Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[The Nostradamus]

Had some dodgy disposal by foot.

Also would wait to tackle on occasion rather than contest. Not to say he took short steps, more would allow himself to be seconds late to the contest and force the stoppage rather than a turn over.

On Bailey Scott he's not immaculate by foot. His decision making not always on point.

But.....

Keeps his feet and stays in the contest even against bigger stronger and multiple opponents.

He's a kid and has development to come.

By the time he's 25 he'll have size enough that staying in the contest will result in clear possession for us. Given his propensity for getting forward that possession will likely translate to goals.

He's also pretty clutch.

Nailed the flaws

 

[Only Forwards]

Nailed the flaws

Ergo the positives are likely somewhere near the mark too.

If you only look for flaws it will be all you see.

Why you dislike Scott so much?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Why you dislike Scott so much?

Don’t rate him with ball in hand
Unless going for goal

Reminds me of Gibson and not in a good way

He has made some really really clever and smart kicks into f50.
Also, having a player who will also provide he outside option in a team like ours is so important.
He may not be a top 10 player in the afl but teams need players like bailey, and bailey will be one of the best of them.

 

[The Nostradamus]

He’s just not very good and 1 contested possession which snake seems to be harping on about with the bull

But more importantly built like a rake and as a result is weak over the ball


bring in Curtis, Bonar etc for him

 

[Snake_Baker]

You're just not a very good judge pal.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Don’t get em wrong

. He's very one paced, Snith burnt him off on several occasions.

Yeah and that was supposed to be his main strength the running but even that isn’t that great

 

[Snake_Baker]

It looks as though tZ has lucked in to 1 out of his 3728 calls with a 20 game player currently playing in a hideously lopsided team.

Soak up the glory, you genius.

It’s cowardice.

It’s cowardice.

He's the starting ruckman in the Bigfooty cherry picking team of the century.

Don’t confuse speed and aerobic capacity. He was always meant to have aerobic capacity and he has shown that, but like our recruiters, he has only one pace. In a more dynamic side he could be quite impressive, but when you need to be the dynamic player, he comes up short against players like Bailey who are actually dynamic.

We do love drafting slow one paced undersized players
Like many in the year 2-5 year on list players I expected Bailey to be more progressed than he is
LDU and TT the same
Development at Arden street is woeful

I'm beginning to come around to this idea.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Actually didn't mind his game. Didn't think Smith had his usual output and Scott seemed to be around the footy and always involved

That’s a good point and again very Sam Gibson like in the one paced department

 

[The Warlord]

Bailey was far from our worst.

 

[Masked Avenger]

In defence of Bailey, he and Mahony are two players that are not being played to their strengths. They're both see ball get ball players and yet they're being played on the outside of the contest and outside the corridor. Regardless, Bailey will be a serious footballer.

Needs to hit the gym.

Looked like a child compared to BS, who is a gun of course, and was made to look pretty ordinary and slow.

Hit the gym and work on his skills in the vfl

turnover merchant takes no care with ball in hand

He’s been good today mate. Nothin you can say that can divert from the fact.

edit: second half he appeared timid with the ball in dispute. I watched him live and believed he was decent in the first half and quite poor in the second. Well, it would be hard to give any player an accolade for a second half performance today.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Deer in headlights when he has the ball

38% disposal efficiency and the ones he does hit are to flat footed teammates sold into trouble

 

[Billy Not Really]

Woefully out of form.
