Restricted Free Agent Zac Bailey

[ABAB]

Adelaide won’t get the best out of Zac. He will be their best player and actually have an opponent sit on him for the first time in his career. He will have no time and space.

Adelaide’s midfield absolutely reeks compared to Brisbane’s. Oppo midfielders are too busy worrying about Neale, McCluggage and Ashcroft when he goes in there. He doesn’t even get the best small defender either, they go to Cameron.

I also find it funny that Adelaide supporters go hard at Nicks. Berry, Soligo and Peatling are not AFL standard midfielders in a team that’s contending. Rankine and Rachele are not midfielders either, as much as they are trying to make them into ones. Bailey is just another version of those. I do like Curtin though, albeit it was a small sample size last year.

Zac should look at North in my opinion if they back the truck up. More bullish on their list long-term than Adelaide and he could sit behind Sheez, LDU, Wardlaw, O’Sullivan, McKercher etc. with Xerri putting it down his throat. Crows fans way overestimate their list.

You are "Zac Bailey Fan Club" and underselling him in the midfield or forward lol. You mentioned McCluggage and not Dawson??? You missed Rachele's game in the midfield last week against Geelong in Geelong??? He averaged 20 disposals and 1.5 goals in the first 8 weeks transitioning into the midfield a few years ago and our "esteem" Temu Hinkley stopped developing him there. Rankine can win his own contested ball and shown he can play in the midfield last year, opposition clubs worry when he is in there. A midfield of Dawson, Rankine, Rachele, Curtin, Soligo and Bailey will be up there against the best with also the development of Draper who is just coming back from groin injury in the preseason. McAndrews development trajectory has been a big surprise in the Ruck.

Somehow you are more bullish on North's forwards and backs show how bias you are, you do know Brisbane won't be able to match the FA contract whoever Bailey decides to select as the club he want to be traded to????

I’m also the head of the Bruce Reville Fan Club. Doesn’t mean I think he is our best player?

Not fussed if we get anything at all for him. He’s given us great service and I will continue to love watching him wherever he ends up. He’s not worth anywhere near what’s been thrown around for him.

You have done nothing but prove my point about overestimating your list. That midfield is trash. Lacks any pure midfielders with talent. Just a bunch of players playing out of position because you have no one else to put there.

There's no doubt that the midfield is our weakness and is heavily dependent on Draper and Curtin which is why we are chasing Bailey. Both are pure midfielders drafted at pick 4 and 8, Rachele also played midfield in his juniors like Curtin did and Soligo has won the Showdown medal and nearly another one last year against Port Power who have a strong midfield.

But if you are saying North's forwards and backs is better than ours than I can't take your opinion seriously as you are clearly bias and somehow want to push Bailey toward North, as you think they have better picks to offer you guys despite Brisbane won't be able to match the contract and force a trade.

I don’t recall ever getting additional list spots. From memory I think the Suns, Kangas and Eagles have all received that concession in recent years.

Sorry, you didnt get extra rookie list spots, you got a Priority Pick instead. My bad.

For what its worth, I think Brisbane did an amazing job at turning the club around.

Schmidt holds the SANFL record for lowest goals to games ratio. Poor Chris Schmidt.

His nickname bestowed by Leppa was "Merry"
