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

[King Corey]

Very disappointed in him if he heads off. He's had a pretty good run under multiple coaches and had been developing well.

If he goes there I hope he rots and (metaphorically) drowns in Dangerfield's web of self-loving gizz.

Pick in 15 to 29 would be right what did he cost us in draft I thought It was a first

Altona to Arden st 26 mins.

Altona to baked spud stadium 52 mins.

If he's stupid enough to base a contract decision on where he lives, then I'll pack his bags as he'll be too dumb to perform into a serious game plan.
Rent out the Altona property and lease somewhere closer to Spud Oval. Simple.

Personally, I hope he stays as his improvement this season has been solid and I can see him fitting into our next finals side.

 

[HBFlanker]

Must stay. Hopefully Clarko can convince him to stay. Starts on a wing round 1 for mine.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Lol, Altona is practically a suburb of Geelong apparently.

Haven’t seen this much Google maps work since Josh Kelly inspected a bayside house in 2017

how long by train?

 

[King Corey]

Meanwhile the Ziebull and The acurate one are already standing with bayonets at the ready to stop him getting back into Arden Street.

Georgey boy Wardlaw to take the #8.

I want sheeeeeeeeeezel

Nah in the 40s if I recall

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Reckon you could count on one hand the number of times Ralph has ventured over the Westgate

 

[Passmore]

I'd happily take a second rounder. We need room for Phillips, Thomas, Curtis and pick 1 from later this year.

All good and it would be nice if announced sooner than later, poor North have another PP.

So Robert must have forgiven the Cats. lol

Damir prefers his losing GFs to his winning one?

I think the fact the likely premiers and best side in the comp are looking at him suggests he isnt as bad as some think. Obviously rated by Stephen Wells, who has a pretty good eye for talent

Ha dunno but he once was unhappy with the Cats. Be interesting as we've said we want to keep him, but the $$ and years are the issue.

The Cats will have 15 players over 30 next season. That isn't a judgement but a fact. Maybe they'll do the longer term deal as they need some younger players.

Do Geelong have any key defenders not getting a go because they are so deep there?

I was at cats game last week esava played chb and played real good good spoils

 

[My Left Foote]

I suspect he made his mind up a while ago and not even Clarko is going to change it. I'm ambivalent about this, he's had a good year and seems to be building nicely however he's not irreplaceable. Bailey and Pick 55 for the Cats picks 36 and 49.

Miserable campaigner. Not you, Old Boy, Damir.

Anyone, I'm in the "whatever" camp with Scott. Stay, go, suit yourself.

Oh well. No more seeing him ball up into the fetal position any time someone lays a hand on him.

I’d do that trade…he could help us back and forward. He might been keen on a move to get opportunity

No thank you. Reeks of NMFC whipping boy.

Seems the story in the HS has changed from likely to stay to likely to go, the new detail being him apparently buying a house in Altona, if that is all that has caused the change in opinion, it is a pretty long bow to draw, but I guess that is footy media 101!

IF he is set on getting to Geelong, it will be disappointing, he is currently best 22 and required, but we have been pretty solid in recent times of keeping required players and if we were to lose one, he would be at the "disappointing" rather than "disaster" end of the scale.

A lot of water to go under the bridge, hopefully he stays, but, Geelong's picks are likely to be towards the end of each round, so a second rounder is likely to be mid 30s (currently 36), they also have 46, maybe 36 and 46 with our 55 going back?

 

[Psicosis]

This reeks IMO. As mentioned earlier, Stephen Wells rarely misses. He clearly sees something in Bailey that the bf whip lashers don’t. They’ll get him cheap, put him on an appropriate S&C program and play him in his proper position. 188cm, elite runner, multi-positional, 22 years old, excellent kick on goal, decent field kick - you’d be foolish not to think he wouldn’t thrive in a good system.

It’s a real shame, but I get it. The club has been a f*kn mess the last few years & we are bound to lose a couple, despite Clarko. Worth noting that Bailey is a bit “different”, which also means the lure of Clarko might not change his perspective, like others.

I’m pretty confident that we will be one we are kicking ourselves about in a couple years.

Re trades, we need to be maximising our draft capital. I’m not keen on losing one of our good young players for a stop gap (eg Esava) who isn’t likely to be relevant when we are actually competing.

 

[Le Grille]

Considering even a second rounder will be a late second I’d be pretty disappointed in that return

Ha- I can be at times but not for a long time, the whole life flashing before your very eyes type stuff, does wonders.

So am I, he stays he goes. He'd want to improve his tackle count I reckon.
