I'm still waiting to see how good a swimmer Scott Clayton is!

Or the other way around.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Bailey Dale
Has Bailey grown a few centimetres since he was drafted. Stats show him as 182cm. If he hasn't, he must have long limbs! The contested mark he took in the third quarter was excellent. Beautiful judgement, balance and strong enough to hold his position. Just seemed to outreach everyone else.

I think he has grown a bit. Certainly has filled out. Too bad he didn't clunk those set shots, then we wouldn't be talking about dropping him. Knowing Bevo, he will get another shot next week.

Bailey was at the Hawthorn game walking around level 1 prior to the start of the game. I had a chat to him. I am 185 cm and he is a fair bit taller than me. I would say he's 188-189 cm.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Bailey Dale
He is going to be something very special, he has long arms and takes marks at the very top of his reach.
He has a very good tank, extremely mobile, reads the play and has a little X factor. He will cement his spot in the team at some stage and another year in the gym will be a huge upside on his arm strength and marking. I liken him to a Bomtempelli type but more outside player and drifting in.
Bring back the biff

This kid is going to be a gun. Give him time and games and it will click that he belongs.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Bailey Dale
To hold his place in the team he has to kick those easy goals. He doesn't get enough of the ball currently to be in for just the touches he gets.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Bailey Dale
The more games this kid gets, the better he gets. Has now played 24 AFL games and is starting to get his hands on the ball and kick some goals. He had his best game against Carlton with 27 disposals, two goals and 1 goal assist.
Where do we see him playing in the future? Can he be a midfielder, or is he better off on the wing?

I've heard Bevo say he could play high half back, forward and maybe in time midfield.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Bailey Dale
I'd like to see him remain on the wing and play an Andrew Gaff style game for us.
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

He remains unsigned doesn't he ?

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Bailey Dale
Wing/high forward rotation. He uses the ball well forward of the centre, something we struggle with
