Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[The Nostradamus]

I hate to say it & I’m sure his old man would be disgusted but I’m starting to see Bailey lacking a bit of ....

Yeah he’s very outside to say the least, could definetly go harder. A lot of the time he will not attack the ball and instead wait for it

But I’m more so annoyed by his lack of care with the footy in hand

 

[tales129]

I don’t rate him nearly as much as the rest of this board does.

limited decision maker

 

[Roosurgence]

Was horrible tonight, the few times he did get we broke down due to his horrific turnovers.

Played ok last week and came crashing back to earth.

 

[Waussie]

He didn't give in, it may not have always come off, but his second efforts were good

 

[Snake_Baker]

I dunno about "horrible" but his disposal was unusually poor in the swamp, as it was with most others.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Had his second highest career disposal tally. Found a way to hit the scoreboard yet again. Least of our worries. Next.

 

[Billy Not Really]

People seriously so miserable with themselves and the club they're deciding Bailey's a target now? Please. Had nowhere near a great game or a bad one, he's developing at the exact trajectory he should.

Move along nothing to see here, this is as pointless as thinking if Ben McKay

lets one goal pass through him, surely he must be a bust.

They blame individual players but they never blame anything else.

For instance, none of them can tell me what the game plan is, or raise a murmur about how the administration have monumentally screwed up the post 2016 rebuild............but nah............let's hook in to a lightly framed 20 year old who has played 19 games of footy, or a bloke who hasn't played in 2 years.

 

[Only Forwards]

Baileys best attribute thus far has been his ability to remain in the play.

He's going to wreck blokes when he hits his mid 20s.

he maya well be an elite runner and gut run the s**t out of everyone and consistently be in the game,

I still have issues with his decision making, just takes odd options too often for me

- if he can fix this up and play within that limitation he’s got the potential to be Sam Gibson+

Ofcoarse his decision making isn't perfect yet - He is 20 years old.

 

[franjon]

Ofcoarse his decision making isn't perfect yet - He is 20 years old.

And he is already better than Sam Gibson.

 

[King Corey]

This is another example of week-to-weekitis.

Every player has poor games. They just hopefully reduce the number of them per season when they hit their peak.

Patrick Dangerfield was s**t in a grand final. I guess Geelong should've delisted him after that.

Being the next Sam Gibson is exactly what i see as mentioned a few times

And largely why I don’t rate him

probably

Like Ablett Sr his ego is probably the biggest impediment they have to winning a flag.

Don't think Gibbo had the forward craft or ability to take a contested mark as Bailey does.

He was very good in round 1 and had a bad one last week with about 14 mates. I think he will be a very good winger or high half forward.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Harsh calls on Scott in here.

Gee whiz he's going fine imo.

looks like being a good player.....got a long way to go to get involved in play as much as Gibbo did. Tracking well though.

 

[Devington]

Doesn't seem as polished as he has in the past, but his stat line has generally jumped upwards so far on the back of increased minutes on the ground.

He's far from being an issue, and 17 games from the last 2 years is probably a decent reason for not looking particularly clean or in synch.

 

[Only Forwards]

What was wrong with Sam Gibson?

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.

He won't be the only one whose DE% dips south while they're breaking in this new game plan.

This is a bit too complex for the twerps to comprehend.

 

[Flawed Genius]

What was wrong with Sam Gibson?

******* oath. Bailey potentially being Sam Gibson+ would be an extraordinarily durable running machine who averages 20-25 touches a game for 150-200 games, and if it was Sam Gibson+ the kicking would probably be better. Sign me the * up for pick ~50

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Once he had 60+ games and another few kg’s, he’ll end up more like Isaac Smith

.

Might not end up averaging 30 disposals a game but will be damaging with his rangy run and carry and long kicking.

He is the ultimate professional so you know he’ll get the best out of himself.
