Bailey Giving Col a Serve

[Bartram_Class]

Suggests to me he's certainly no walk-up start next week.

"He has ability and he has talent. The club drafted Col with that talent. I put it to him, 'Just get on the MCG, mate, and just play the game. Get out there and allow your strengths to show'.

Not sure about you, but after that last line about the 'G all I want to do is strap on the boots and get out there myself.

I would say this is designed to act as a wake up call and an avenue to motivate Sylvia. One would suggest that he is extremely likely to play rd. 1, unless he trains abnormally badly.

And I don't see that as "Bailey giving Col a serve", just "Bailey talking about Col".

'Just get on the MCG, mate, and just play the game. Get out there and allow your strengths to show'.

Sounds like an attempt by Bailey at some Sylvia-speak but needs at least a second "mate" after "there".

Reading between the lines.

I'd actually think he'll definitely play Round 1 after that article, but there will be a lot of pressure on him (Well there is a lot of pressure on him this year anyway).

This is the first year he has done a full pre season. That has always been the excuse given with Col. It is now put up or shut up time. He can clearly play but it is time he repays the footy club
