He's Bailey Williams.Who is he? i thought it was the WCE player
Yeah definitely the best game he's played since 2021 by some distance, and I personally like him and wouldn't want to lose him, but we've got so many similar outsidish wings/hbfs that as other dogs fans have said he probably still won't be a high priority to keep. Can definitely see him being offered decent money over 3-4 years by another club and playing very good footy for them, and wouldn't hold any ill will if that happened. Imo we really shouldn't have all of him, JJ, Richards, Dale, Baker and Daniel in the one team, but none deserve to be dropped.3 goals 23 touches on Friday night probably his best game of the year
It's still a list spot.Depends at what price honestly.

Andrew McPherson is a rookie, but your point is right.Eh, there are some 'spuds' on our list at the moment. For example, replacing Andrew McPherson with Bailey Williams is a pretty hefty improvement, seeing that boy has been destroyed by injuries for instance.
The fact that he was overlooked for the captaincy makes it a possibility.What makes you think we get him and lose Doedee?

Williams is an easy one to let walk,Dogs one of the most fascinating list profiles in the comp right now.
Multiple young talls gifted to them for bugger all cost. Likely to be proper AFL players when their drafted falls (English, Naughton) are peak of their powers - but midfield is perhaps a year or 2 too old?
Got 2 of the biggest names coming out of contract next year. Got a club likely to have a fortune to burn from their home states targeting them. Eagles will do everything to get Naughton and lesser extent English - Naughton/Allen would be the best combo in the game by then I reckon.
So do you risk trying to bump up an offer to keep Bailey Williams? He’s a solid role player but is that the price you pay to keep your big stars? Do you also consider win now, while you’ve got Libba/Treloar/Macrae plus peak Bont, or win with JUH/Darcy in a couple of years (they probably aren’t going to help win a final just yet).
They should win a flag one way or another - either soon or with the next gen, it’s just do they try each way or commit to one or the other? If win now you keep Williams, if next gen probably let him go and add a young mid from compo pick.
??Williams is an easy one to let walk,
He started the year really well but has since regressed back to his form of last year
Been named as SubInteresting time to be dropped
Interesting time to be dropped
He had 7 turnovers last week not exactly a surpriseInteresting time to be dropped
It was reported about two or three weeks ago he was close to signing.Round 20 seems well into 'more likely going than staying' territory, sadly.

Might have been fake news?
Odd one. Maybe a Doedee and Williams swap.I don't know. Just getting a bit late in the piece. Hopefully it's done and just hasn't been published yet.

I've been calling for him to be played as a defensive Mid all year, I think his more then capable. He seems to be abit of a Mr fixit for us and we put him wherever we are thin. Our lack of any wingman has seen him play majority outside but when our defenders got injured during games he was one that went back to defence.All very quiet on the Bailey front.
Out of interest, do dogs fans think he can play inside mid at AFL level like his junior years?
His stats as a defender/outside mid aren’t that inspiring, so not that excited as an FA for for the crows unless there is a role change play.
