Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[The Nostradamus]

Lost all confidence and Clarkos to blame.
Absolutely no need to move him to defence.

He was always a poor kick

But yes now he even has no confidence

Back to the vfl to gain some

Liability

What the actual * are we doing playing him in half-back to make way for DYLAN STEPHENS AND DARCY TUCKER??????????

Its on Clarko. He needs to own it and say I stuffed up. 7 weeks of this s**t is too f***ing long

Clarko is meant to be solving our problems not inventing them. The dickhead.

 

[Nylex]

Get him back on the f*#K%#* wing.
Your not paid $1m a year Clarko to play blokes in the wrong position

He was on the wing today

He was still s**t

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

I'm generally hesitant to post anything that ol' ad nauseam nose would take as encouragement, but we do need to have a talk about Scott. The move to the backline hasn't worked.
Even with a bit of time back on the wing today he still looks a shadow of the player from previous years. At half-time he had 5 touches and about 4 or 5 missed or broken tackles. Surprisingly he went at 92% for disposal efficiency which makes me want to doubt how statistics work.

 

[RossHenshaw]

He actually was there today ?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I simply can’t abide his soft one on one efforts.

He’s been around for five years and has the strength of a toddler.

Another one who is still trying to find the weights room at Arden st.
Pathetic footballer (3rd in a B&F)
What does that tell you ?

That effort against Rachele should’ve seen him delisted on the spot.

thats fine there are others that compensate in this area,

 

[BlueandWhiteElf]

Hey Clarko, you realise you have taken Scott out of his best position on the wing for no ******* reason?!

And then continue to keep him the defence where he is playing his worst footy ever? Are you trying to tank!? How many more games do you need for you to know he’s not playing well back there?!

******* deplorable decision making from a seasoned coach and you are destroying his career while you’re at it

Mind boggling

100 % agree with this. I just cannot understand the thinking. Playing Tucker and Stephens on the wings ahead of Bailey. It’s obviously pushing us backwards.

 

[koshari]

That effort against Rachele should’ve seen him delisted on the spot.

what was he supposed to do there? might have had a poor game but cant single him out on that point, Rachelle is extremely creative and was up and about after squibbing a couple of contests last week, that act was low percentage but highly creative and that he was able to execute the handball with extreme precision and then gather cleanly again was testament to his skill. if he held him any longer he would have got pinged for holding the man.

I remember a time when Jy and Powell played with that kind of flair. Powell is becoming more blue collar and iam fine with that but i really dont know what Jy has progressed to??

Hold his position and shepherd away/ not let him get back to the ball.

He has no strength. In a contact sport, it’s a massive problem.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Hold his position and shepherd away/ not let him get back to the ball.

He has no strength. In a contact sport, it’s a massive problem.

And failing that, the better players in the comp know to just hang onto Rachele and give away the free to force a stoppage in a less dangerous position, rather than let him go and have a free run and time to find a target.

What concerned me is that this sort of thing should be instinctive. In the moment Rachele got the ball past him, Bailey should have known the best decision was the professional free.

He's been really disappointing this year. But it's partly caused by not playing him on the wing (where he has shone in the past) in preference for two outright dud recruits. It's just infuriating.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

The failed spoil by Scott on the wing was simply poor. There's no other word for it.
Finished 3rd in our B&F twice!!! As Alby Mangles would say "CRICKEY!!!"

 

[The Nostradamus]

This does not surprise me
Biggest ‘loser’ in the afl
If you want to lose games play the butcher

 

[chickenonachain]

No player who turns the ball over as much as he does should not be on an afl list ever

 

[hotchilli]

What a pointless stat, the win-loss records aren’t pretty for any of our players who have played during this period of the club…

 

[Johnny99]

That effort against Rachele should’ve seen him delisted on the spot.

And he is in the leadership group. How many times have I seen Bailey take a run with the ball, only to miss targets and turn it over. No big loss if he walks.

 

[tazaa]

Back on the wing. Structures held up.
We actually had someone out there who could provide run and wasn’t scared to have a dip.
And who wasn’t gassed in the last quarter.

Time and history is to look so poorly on Rawling.
We will reflect and whatever happens over the next few seasons, some of the free agency and trade acquisitions that we made will have us tearing our hair out.

is yet to sign a deal for next season after performance-based triggers in his contract allowed him to earn as much as $650,000 this season.

Despite suggestions he might be keen for a fresh start he has made no moves to do anything other than re-sign at the Roos. But he is another player who has made a positional switch that has not helped his performance after finishing third in successive Syd Barker Medals.

Pushed from a wing into defence, he ranks only average as a general defender averaging 20 possessions and 69 ranking points. He ranks below average for kicking, average for disposals, and poor for intercepts and intercept marks.

Entering his sixth season he would have hoped for another year of progress but it has been hard playing in a Roos backline that is bleeding inside-50s.

Should always have been locked in as a wingmen, only Clarko knows what he’s doing here???
Hopefully Bailey signs soon

Get to the vfl where the butcher belongs

Stop ******* playing the cat

 

[kangatragic]

We can't go forward as a club with players like Scott. But there's many more unfortunately
