Player Watch #8: Bailey Scott

[Event Horizon]

Pick 6 for Scott 21,39 done if he wants to go

I can’t see why they would want to trade for him full stop but if they did we’d get a future third rounder or similar

Watch the 1st quarter again and be prepared to be razzle dazzled by his awful, awful disposal.

Faark me. It was the pits and it continued throughout the game.

He was one of the best today for the Bulldogs.

Missing kicks, fumbles, turnovers, ball watching, guarding space in no man’s land, just a piss poor performance.

Whatever that performance was, it wasn’t AFL standard.

As soon as there is some physicality nearby, he goes to water.

Fumbles. Panics. Hack kicks.

Has no strength.

 

[Reagan Smash]

I don’t mind Scott, but damn his turnovers under no pressure would be so deflating to the team.

And it’s a regular occurrence too.

As poor a performance from him as I’ve seen in a long time. Notwithstanding his poor disposal which can come with the territory, some of his tackling ‘efforts’ were substandard.

One instance on the HFF where there was a 50:50 ball to be won and he literally pulled up which lead to the Bulldogs taking it downfield for a goal was particularly irksome.

Wouldn’t mind if Colby took his wing spot

Agreed. I think that he works hard to provide an option, but if he wants to walk at the end of the year I'm not too beat up about it. Those (very regular) turnovers are just full stop momentum killers.

McKercher on the wing just sounds enticing.

 

[justroyal]

That kick to pink from the back towards the wing was very, very good

 

[apollo_creed]

The problem is his disposal is shit and the (senior) leaders at our club also have shit disposal and are too nice to tell him. He can’t control how far he kicks the ball and he’s scared of anything physical. He might be best 22 at the moment but he’s a very average footballer.

 

[Carey4life]

Have heard twice in 2 days he will ask for a trade to the Lions.
No idea if true but wouldn’t be shocked.

His a GC boy, so this would make sense. He could suit their game style as well.

It would be sad to see a BFNAAK go though. Particularly given he's been one of the players that has given it his absolute all through the dark days, poor kicking excluded.

He works hard defensively and often intercepts or provides an easy outlet kick. Few others take the initiative to defend or provide options like Bailey does.

He's definitely not irreplaceable, but I feel some are a bit harsh on our Bailey.

Unfortunately he’s not much better at kicking clutch goals

Yet.

That kick to pink from the back towards the wing was very, very good

And Pink dropped it

 

[Epictetus]

Pick 6 for Scott 21,39 done if he wants to go

Most clubs would look at that like pick 6 for 21 and 39 and Scott to be a good VFL player.

So you tell me how likely that trade is?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Fine if he stays or goes to be honest. He's an average player but we don't have a lot of running depth.
A two year extension unless he asks for a trade might be the best option, takes him to free agency.
By then young kids should hopefully overtake him in the first 18 at least and he looks at his options.
If he's traded now we'd have to find ourselves a good speed and endurance runner in the draft like Darcy Wilson mould.

Unfortunately he’s not much good at handballing either

54% disposal efficiency enough said but it’s the momentum sapping turnovers that hurt more

Just needs to not touch the ball and we’ll be fine

Give me Hardeman and Colby over this bloke next week

His disposal was abysmal yesterday.
I watched the replay last night, and his 1st quarter alone had me wanting to stick pins in my eyes...
