Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[Epictetus]

Frightening to think Scott finished in the Top 3 of our B&F twice!!!!

People saying he’s “gone” and “checked out”? Which opposing club would take him? Seriously.

His career at an opposing club would be on par with Dumonts at Port.

Yeah, this "he's already gone" stuff is laughable.

He's currently in the only situation that will see him play regular AFL footy. The ONLY situation.

People on here are off with the fairies if they think he has one other club committing to him. It's fanciful. He's barely hanging onto a spot in a historically bad footy team. Turn it up.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Pours petroleum on the footy and lights a match each and every time he has it.

 

[shinboner magic]

No one in the vfl side is replacing Bailey anytime soon

 

[The Nostradamus]

jy and Colby will be replacing the butcher and laz next game

Scott will play every game this and any season he’s on the list.

I don’t like it, but it’s what will happen.

God hope not

But if so deserve to lose every game

And end of season can’t come quick enough when he’s off the list

He was improving and he had a sensational year only last year.

Memories of a gold fish. There has to be a reason for his massive downfall because its so drastic. He isn't injured? What else has drastically changed?

Clubs will go after him because if he has checked out, when they are sniffing around, him and his manager will be well aware of these things.

 

[The acurate one]

He was horrid his first few seasons.

Came goodish

He is horrid again.

We'd be mad to keep him.

All in sunbury are saying everyone has checked out, but like hotel california on auto repeat.

If that was the case, they wouldn’t be showing up in the first half.

Maybee checkouts at 2pm?

He's averaged 20+ once in his career over a season. He's skinny, timid and can't kick.

I admire his workrate, but he's just never going to be an impactful player in good sides and in big games. Not gonna happen.

 

[Elite Master]

Scott's only stand out feature is his endurance but that is because most of the team is so unfit. In any other team Scott's fitness would be the average baseline expectation.

well I don't want to split hairs, but he is averaging 19.9 this year, with the back half still to come,

Still, I can't disagree with your general point that his disposal either needs to improve pronto, or we'll be looking elsewhere. The only mitigating consideration this year is that the experiment of playing him at HBF has not been a success, and it can't have helped his confidence. He's a winger, full stop

Will play better in a good system, you know it.

Anyway what a s*** bloke he is if he's elected a leader then pisses off after 1 year.

I agree he's a winger and some of the additions have forced him back. Which is just bad management and another poor set of decisions. Not his fault.

Nah doing us favour by ****ing off

As I've said - AFL fit & Nth Melb fit - are poles apart.

If he’s just endurance.
Maybe he should consider a career change running marathons

 

[King Corey]

Surprised he hasn't been discussed.

Won't declare he's back but his game looked a much more cohesive one yesterday.

No doubt team structure and application as a whole helps a lot of players look better individually.

Bailey is integral to us continuing to be competitive. Yes, at times, he butchers the ball. However, he more than makes up for it. Overall, I believe he is better playing a defensive winger role, rather than being an attacking winger. He turns it over to much when he tries to create.

If someone had asked I'd have put money on him missing that goal.

He’s generally been a reliable set shot at goal early in his career.

He's just not kicking well at the moment. I think its inside a confidence issue as much as anything. Never been the greatest kick, tho I think Nostra over egged it in the past, but he's having an especially poor year this year.

Ageeed. Never been the greatest field kick.

But found his set shot routine to be more reliable.
