Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott - signs until end 2026

[Friday Night Lights]

Deserves a shout. His hard running puts everyone else at the club to shame and you can see he’s starting to feel like he really belongs.

 

[The acurate one]

Another one that needs to find another gear.

 

[The Nostradamus]

If he’s got the ball start setting up defensively as it’s coming back the other way shortly

!! Big Improver, gut runner, can also link up and can also shut down opposition mids and fwds playing a defensive role.

He runs hard to provide the option, uses the ball really well but gee sometimes we give it to him and he has no room because we don't shepherd.

If we are smarter when he takes possession he can do lots more damage.

We have a tendency on here to crucify young players who will perform better in an improved team and structure.

100%. Bailey sometimes the victim of having to make the kick into a totally dysfunctional forward line.

was terribly evident last week when larkey was running away from him further than he can kick, and he is one of the better kicks. larks went to spray him and he simply gestured come at me....

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Will thrive under Clarko

 

[Caracas]

Bailey looked quite dynamic early today. Reminded me of his first game when he won the rising star nomination.

Make sure Scott is signed Clarko

 

[Hazey1977]

Is his disposal erratic or does he get sold into trouble a bit? A little column A and column B I reckon. The whole team make chronically bad decisions selling eachother into trouble.

His work rate can't be disputed though. Could become our Liam Shiels

I've watched the replay of the weekends game.
It has become apparent to me that this guy's improvement is off the charts since Noble's exit. How can a coach's approach stifle a players development to such extent? I'm amazed.

 

[Only Forwards]

He hit a bullet on the weekend.

Sure his disposal can be iffy but one of his kicks on the weekend was a laser. Reckon it was in the second quarter.

Gee, you are a masochist

 

[Clarke is King]

Would be fine with a 2 or 3 year deal. Is improving nicely and is clearly a great person, can't have enough of them around the club.

 

[see see]

I know that our list management team is virtually non existent at the moment, but why hasn't Bailey already signed up? Usually these extensions are locked away well before the end of the final contract year. I assume he's in talks with the club. Anyone know where this is at?

Larkey also completely stuffed up delivery to Zurhaar(?) during the game. A bit rich to throw shade when you are guilty of the same errors...

 

[Sphynx]

2 year deal imo.

Bailey is one of the success stories of the year imo, but there's no way anyone should be getting long terms deals not named Zurhaar, McKay, LDU, JHF atm based on team performance and the volatility of their performances year on year.

McDonald's 5 year deal for a bottom 4 side was laughable at the time and still is.

I hope 2 year deals to the likes of Ziebell, Mahoney and Lazarro will be dead in future.

Most of these guys should be kept on their toes with 2 year deals, yes it might work against us in 1-10 example but on the whole it wont.

I actually enjoyed it. I had forgotten that we were reasonably competitive for nearly 3 quarters.

At half time close to every statistical measure said we should have been 4-5 goals up. We weren't and then it went bad.

Fify.

Unfortunately it turns out Clarko was only able to watch the second half

 

[Event Horizon]

There was a clear moment in the third quarter when GC went to another gear, and we didn't or couldn't go with them.

Think it will only become clearer just quite how bad Noble was unfortunately.
