Absolutely blows my mind seeing people write Scott off. It's bonkers.

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.

Yep. We squandered some very easy opportunities before then as well to give us breathing room - as well as a few to keep us in touch (Cam had a couple of opportunities, Comben as well but these might have been a bit earlier).

Very few are writing him off. Competition is coming though, we've been desperate for a player with his skillset - that might not always be the case.

The way we were cutting through them with ease in the first quarter I was thinking we would eventually put it on the scoreboard and win easily by 5-6 goals. Then we completely gave up.

He is still so young too. Haven’t even seen his ceiling yet. Improved a lot this year.

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.

Strange take, I really feel his move to the backline earlier in the year under Noble was a big step forward in building his confidence.

On possessions alone he is averaging more than 20 under Adams. That wasn't the case before-hand. I'd argue he is now playing in a more difficult position than earlier in the season and he isn't getting the some of the cheap kicks he picked up in our backline.

Not saying he was better under Noble but his time in the backline earlier in the year wasn't a bad thing for his development.

He made big strides forward under Noble as well playing in defence, he's one of the very few who showed some decent level of development under Noble.

Well this is random and would suck. Hopefully Clarko can get on the phone and get him to sign up for 1 year and if it’s not better, then can go.

You'll move on to 5 new ones until they leave.

Will be hard to pick them

Bailey is the future...

 

[Liam Boy]

Right, every year we should move on the young player who's worked the hardest and shown the most improvement and see what kind of club culture that fosters

Who would win?


A team of 22 Bailey Scotts with Mahony as the sub


or early 2000's Brisbane?


Think about it.

But think of the extra footy coach value we will bank!

 

[Makeshift Park]

Sorry to interrupt the mourning, but who exactly is this Chris “turbz” Trbovich chap whose tweet giantroo posted, which started all this?

Father son...

Gonna be sad to see him go.

 

[Psicosis]

Will absolutely set us back. Already we are short on wingman, but wingman that run their guts out especially.

Hopefully now that Clarko has arrived Bailey might be able to see how much stability will be within the club for at least the next 5 years and stay on for a few more years..however if he wishes to move on then so be it..no more pampering to players. If he's heart isn't in it (playing for the jumper)then its no point keeping him..

Depends on who's given him an offer.
Could easily be a Jordan Clark type situation.
Actually wouldn't be surprised if Geelong were in the mix for his services.

Sounds like he just wants out and not worried where he goes...

Were there some posts between this one and the one above it that I missed? A whole change of direction has come over the thread at this point.

Where is this news coming from?
