Or the coaches rate him more than we do. He played well mateHard not to off last weeks shambles

Seems his endurance (his best asset) has gone backwards since coming to the club. It’s bizarre how often we manage to decrease ones natural ability once they arrive to the club.Is he injured? Either flat out gave up on a few today or they've accidentally put lead in his soles. If he can't go, give him a rest
Omg you are kidding RF. He is consistently the top player for distance covered, repeat sprints and top speed. The bloke is running in molasses because he is working so hard he runs himself into the ground. If he had 21 others with his tank he may not be only one chasing ass. His endurance (his best asset) is absolutely elite and hands down the best at the club. I wonder why he didn't tag Smith, as he might have been the only one with the tank to go with him. But his fitness hasn't gone backwards my godSeems his endurance (his best asset) has gone backwards since coming to the club.

I wouldn't be dropped the only player with an elite tank. He runs out of puff because he goes that bloody hard. It's obvious to see live. He runs and runs until he nearly doubles over. Give me that endeavour every week, don't punish him for itIs he injured? Either flat out gave up on a few today or they've accidentally put lead in his soles. If he can't go, give him a rest

Come on RF it's easy to free wheel in your 3rd game. Expectations are low. So yeah he looked like a great runner. But repeat sprinting to cover a man when we inevitably turn it over, or covering someone else's man because they aren't fit enough or too slow to react will blow any good tank up. He hasn't gone backwards, he is working harder than ever. He needs help from others. I remember him tagging Brad Hill last year to a stand still, one of the best if not the best runner in the comp. Has his fitness gone backwards in 6 months?Not kidding and I’m not faulting his effort or endeavour either. He is a go-er and I really like Bailey.
But go back and watch the way he covered the ground in his first half a dozen games. He covered the ground with ease and definitely had another gear to his speed. He didn’t look like he was running with concrete boots and He wasn’t blowing up anywhere near as much as what he is now, despite having big GPS numbers.
Maybe it’s game plan or maybe it’s his role but his run and carry was better earlier in his career.
He’s just simply not a defender alsoSeems a player without pace. One bulldog’s goal tonight the ball fell out of a pack near the goal square. Bailey was in front of a group of players and within a few steps had been totally overrun, the dog’s player snapping the goal around the corner.
He should have been first to that ball.
There is no explosion or power in is his running. Yes he puts in the Ks moreso than many I acknowledge. There are games where you can say he’s dependable, again I give him that, but right now he’s a player IMO devoid of X-factor or even an identity.
Having a crack at Scott after yesterday, trolling yourself hereHe’s just simply not a defender also
Him and Atu are witches hats back there
Him constantly trailing opponents and providing little to no pressureHaving a crack at Scott after yesterday, trolling yourself here
Haha have a spell mate. No pressure you've got no ideaHim constantly trailing opponents and providing little to no pressure
You must have been watching a different game
Great response...Haha have a spell mate. No pressure you've got no idea

He’s actually a very smart footballer. I don’t know what it was like on tv but at the ground was one of our better defenders.One of the few that tried to give us some drive off HB after Hall went down. His repeat efforts and contested work are improving week-to-week. Leave him in the same role for the next month or so.
He’s actually a very smart footballer. I don’t know what it was like on tv but at the ground was one of our better defenders.
So much so none of our centre midfielders were in our best last night. In our top 6 even. He was pivotal.
That's good to read. He's also put some physicality into contests noticeably a couple of times recently. Not every player needs to be a bull.He’s actually a very smart footballer. I don’t know what it was like on tv but at the ground was one of our better defenders.
