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

[roos_fanatic08]

If we lose him we'll be going backwards.

Genuine wingers who can run and know how to position themselves in that role aren't as easy to find as people think.

Considering his consistency and ability to play multiple roles it wouldn't surprise me at all if he has another top 5 BnF finish again this year.

 

[swaeney]

Come on, sign him and Phillips up.

Well yes, there are quite a few people here who seem to think the wing is somewhere that you can easily stick an 18 year old first year inside mid to keep them out of the furnace for a couple of years but there's a little more to it than that.

Huge game yesterday. We need to keep him, if for no other reason than to continue to piss nostrils off.
But really, he’s actually ****ing good.

 

[Psicosis]

The fact he spent so long in the backline this year, is honestly one of the biggest head scratchers of 2024. Clarkson has had some great man management decisions, but that is right up there with the worst.

 

[ferball]

Is he really doing "a degree that specialises in astrophysics"?

 

[footy2016]

Is off to QLD it seems. Brisbane the front runners with Gold Coast a backup option.

Not his biggest fan, however has experience and plays every week and ideally don’t want to lose him for that reason.

 

[The Anvil]

Is he really doing "a degree that specialises in astrophysics"?

I seem to remember that he chose the Roos over the Cats partly due to wanting to study at Melbourne Uni, so probably.

Thought he was doing engineering though, something like civil.

Yeah he’s a Virgo

Same here.

just spoke to Laura Spurway on Ch7 sport! He said his previous two contracts were signed post season so nothing different this time and he seemed to hint at an eagerness to remain at Arden St'

 

[Nylex]

We are going to miss his defensive running if he ends up elsewhere next year.

Great to hear. Hopefully he can have a good string of games like yday, and add a few $ to his contract

Report in here:

 

[amaz199]

Obviously maximising his contract value based on his best and fairest finish.

Why would you leave?

Nobody is going unless they get the tap. Bailey and Zur have earnt the good times that are to come.

You havnt heard we are trading him?

Have read about 100 posts stating that, and thats just from 1 poster.

Yeah it’s well known they build better radio telescopes in queensland

 

[ChairmanZia]

I haven't heard all year that scott is garnering interest by anyone of note.

His ability to thrive going interstate is questionable given that GC is a middling team and lions are bout to decline.

It is closer to the moon compared to down here.

Loosely translated,

[Merlin007]

Good point. Air is probably clearer too

 

[Devington]

He's mystifying to me. Most games are solid. Some games his disposals are complete rubbish when it counts. Some games he pulls off a blinder like yesterday.

So in other words, he is an average player who plays an important role to okay level.

The wing is an area to improve.

 

[perplexed]

Looking at our list, it's really only Bailey and Cam left to re-sign. The others can wait until the post-season. Bailey is easily our best wingman. Give him two years at good money. This will take him to free agency and we can reassess then.
