Bailey Dale to backline

[Topdog]

Agreed.

I think if he stayed forward, he would not make it. He was too inconsistent, but he is becoming elite in the backline.

I think we have to be careful still.

He is having an elite run of 6 games but he did that in the fwd line too.

Extremely promising start to his switch to the backline but let's wait before we crown him

[Happy Days]

I can't believe I'm gonna let Bailey Dale hurt me again.

Surely he's AA HBF right now?

He's the number 1 rated general defender as it stands so I'm thinking the AA spot is his to lose.. what a remarkable turn-around.

The only thing going against him is the AA selectors policy of usually waiting for two good years before they reward someone.

[MrMahatma]

Would surely get in the squad even if they want 2 good years before you make the final cut. Deserves to be listed on the HBF though at this stage. Having an unreal year. Wonder how he’ll go in our B&F?

Amazing career turn around

two years is a load of rubbish, no words. AA should be the best in each position on the ground.

[Grantysghost]

He maybe the best kick in the game. It's a pleasure to watch not only the depth, but also the placement. He rarely puts it to disadvantage.

Champion data rate him the best kick

Honestly, who woulda thunk it?

Lets face it there shouldn't be a qualifying period, this isn't signing up to an insurance policy.

I normally don't care about Brownlows and AA etc but Dale deserves a spot in the AA best team.

We used to lament our kicking, well I did.

Now we have three half backs who are as good as it gets.

The whole backline kicking is incredible, except Cordy.

[comrade]

Dale trained with the forwards all pre-season but was given a role across half back 2 weeks ago? Makes sense, given the lack of options we have in that role...

Never change Bevo.

Seriously, never change Bevo
