Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[shinboner magic]

I’m so pumped for Bailey - fell out of form and lost a bit of confidence but went back into a struggling VFL team and found some form, not easy to do.

He’s obviously got serious ticker as I’m sure he hasn’t done many run with roles prior to Saturday night. Can’t wait to see his back half of the year and his continued development.

Good to see Bailey come back on and do a job

Dan Woods - North Media

After spending some time proving form and fitness at VFL level, Bailey Scott came back into North Melbourne’s senior side this weekend for the first time since Round 5.

Fans are used to seeing Scott on the wing, and he even played as an inside midfielder at times in the VFL, however he executed an unfamiliar role to near perfection against the Saints.

Deployed in a defensive forward position, his motivation was to limit the impact of the dangerous Brad Hill, a task he took to with aplomb.

Hill finished with just six disposals - his fewest since his debut in 2012 - at just 50 per cent efficiency as he struggled to shake the presence of Scott.

Scott, on the other hand, finished with 14 touches - two higher than his career average - at 85 per cent efficiency, showing his effectiveness not just as a defensive forward, but also his capability to use the ball well.

David Noble says Scott’s high standard of running ability means he’s well suited to the defensive forward role, and he could be utilised in the position more in the future.

“Bailey’s role was to not just be nullifier, but certainly the bounce out of their back end came from a different sector … I thought he was outstanding,” Noble said.




“His pre-season was really impressive. He was in our top three runners, he’s certainly got that capacity and running power.

“Through pre-season we had him as a wing, but those high half-forward roles are pretty demanding as well. He’s certainly got good capacity to generate either as a half-forward or wing rotation.”

“I can’t comment on his (Hill’s) game … [but] we forced them to move him in the end … it’s probably the first role as a defensive forward [Scott] has played for us and I thought he executed it to an absolute tee.”

Coaches votes

St Kilda v North Melbourne
9 Luke Dunstan (STK)
8 Paddy Ryder (STK)
7 Jack Steele (STK)
2 Tarryn Thomas (NMFC)
2 Aaron Hall (NMFC)
1 Bailey Scott (NMFC)
1 Ben McKay (NMFC)

I'm fairly certain I know which coach gave him one vote.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Pretty decent highlights package for a bloke who "didn't even want to try to touch the ball"

I'm fairly certain I know which coach gave him one vote.

I'm trying to work it out myself, but it's not so obvious. After all, Rattan would have to be impressed with a young bloke of Scott's experience level making his prize $1m superstar look like a turkey.

Yes, Ratten wants to have a close look at how a skinny 20 year old kid was winning the ball ahead of his high priced import.

Look what I found in the wayback machine.

Why, because I showed you up as a goose for jumping the gun with young North players (McKay)?

You can piss right off.

Oh dear, look you can say what you like and whether you showed me up or not really isn't relevant. You've so much to teach and if you morderated your behaviour you'd have people eating out of your hand. Yeah I got it wrong with McKay, won't be the last time I'm wrong either.

And I'm right with what I just said, it dawned on me just today why you piss me off so much. Now I understand it. Your call of course and hey we are the masters of our destiny after all.

Think when they look back of BF in 1000 years, you'll be classified as 'wasted talent' Just my opinion of course.

I'll bet you the screen he is looking at is predominantly red and black.

 

[LB2Snake]

Classy from Ratten to have a go at a 20yo.

Especially when he was completely wrong. Scott had more the double the disposals of Hill. Bizarre comments.

 

[Psicosis]

Got a nice wrap from Gaz on the couch. Suggested he goes to Whitfield next.

 

[Jonnoo]

Nice clap back from the club on Bailey

 

[Twinkletoes]

Likewise from Corn Kanes on Caro’s show. Lauded Bailey for the all round job he’d done.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Think he’s got more in him than to be a negator, but if it’s used as lessons on how to run attacking lines for a season can’t be too upset.

Whitfield one of the best two way outside players in the game and Scott will have to work his arse off to stop him.

Jacobs did the same. Was a pure negater and then he built up his average disposal numbers.

Your constant put downs only show one person in a negative light.

 

[Horizons_00]

Who would have thought he could be a great tagger. He has the endurance

Stevo began his career tagging as well.
Bailey gets his confidence up and he should be able to find his own ball

I want you to really understand that I honestly do not care what you or the rest of "The Heathers" think of me.

In light of this fact, any further wastage of bandwidth just constitutes acts of virtue signaling on your own behalf, aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Lol, you're like a * supporter telling us how much they don't care about a supposed rivalry.
If you really don't care, perhaps shut up and focus on the footy.

Nah not an * supporter.
He turned anti north around the time Joyce was given the flick.
So he’s Cam Joyce
