Opinion Bailey Williams is better than number 1 pick - Andrew Mcgrath

[McCraeBF]

Dont know why your comparing him to McGrath when he was drafted 1 year before. Below is the top 23 picks of the 2015 draft that Baily was drafted in. atm its looking like an average draft with no real standout superstars.

This is a list of the players from the 2015 draft who have played more games
than Bailey Williams to date, sobering thought for some. They are listed in
the order they were drafted with Mills the rising star.

There is only 2 players on that list who have won a Premiership

How about there are only two players on the list who were drafted by teams who have since become
premiership teams. Team game pure and simple.

Let’s show him some love !! What a Jet!!! Those two goals he kicked were absolute class!!

One of the most exciting players on the list. Could be anything.

 

[dergert]

This kid has come on in leaps and bounds. Has started to add goals to his bow which is vitally important to the team.

Thoughts fronkalicious?
He’s your boy. How did you think he went tonight ?

 

[Mofra]

There was one bit of play early in the game where he pulled a sidestep from nowhere.
I love that he often plays taller than his 187cm suggests, then becomes a running type as soon as the ball hits the ground.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

How good was the goal when he ripped off Stewart just as the commentators were saying what a gun Stewart was!!

Just getting better and better.

Best side step I’ve seen.

I'm embarrassed to have that testosterone deficient bin chicken of an outside mid's name on our board.

This thread is an insult to Bailey.

McGrath isn't fit to carry Ed Richards' bags, let alone a 20 year old veteran like Bailey.

 

[ScragCity]

Bailey Williams has a football IQ of 420

He's like Good Will Hunting out there. Others have to learn the game and think it through, BW can just play. He understands its logic and mechanics intuitively and totally.

 

[DelRe]

Best side step I’ve seen.

Big call. It’s very good I agree but Bob held his own in the backline with a reasonable step and in the current side Naughton has a surprisingly good step and Lynch showed a bit tonight. Hard to go past the former captain who shall not be named for a step at pace though.

 

[ThirdLegUp]

Gee settle down gents lol. I am as rapt as anyone this kid has proven some of us pretty accurate, but lets not slap the big gold star to his forehead too soon... may effect his vision.

How good was the sidestep for goal?!

I think he’ll settle at half back. Don’t think he has the tank to play midfield, and I love his aerial stuff down back.

He’s blue chip.

If we can manage to add a blue chipper with our top 5 pick. And young Westy is boarder line, I think our mini reset may be over very quickly. Particularly if we can keep healthy next year (big if) I just wish English was healthy currently. Would love to be getting games into him.

Kid just needs time in the gym. He’s a special.

 

[hatescaptcha]

If he can bring back that mullet of pre-season. Then he would be my clear favourite.

agree with this I reckon he,ll be the next Mark Reccutio

 

[GreatSouthWest]

Glad his awareness has improved and my query about him being one-paced is no longer present.

Bails is doing well.

He's still not quick by any measure.

He's pretty elusive though.
