WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ROHAN BAIL

[Carn dees 108]

In the pic weres hes handballing he looks a little bit like mark murphy in apearence lol and the guy in the back ground looks a bit like brent guerra. :D

Any ways with a leap like that and good fitness maybe he could take a role kind of like dale thomas, taking the od big mark and playing on the wing with such great fitness and up forward.

Good point, I really shouldn't have made those assumptions...

Of course I'm grateful for the photos, but M2W would be kidding himself if he though, and I don't believe he is, that posters should then go and make proclamations about his footballing ability based on those two photos.

I hope he took the mark by the way

I detect a sense of negativity from u about this boy. Based on a little bit of info and some knowledge of his character I believe that he will surpass a couple of higher picks in achievement in his career.

I don't really make these sorts of calls, but I really think this kid will be an inspired pick up.

[45HG 1,559]

I'm not negative at all, indeed a little bemused at being labelled as such as it possibly the least accurate description of myself.

But back on topic. I honestly don't make judgements on players I haven't seen play.

I've never seen Bail play and as such will cast no aspersions on his ability. I will be very interested to see how he goes, as I'm intrigued at us selecting such young players and then one player at the age of 20.

It'll be exciting to see a recruit who can hopefully demand a spot from the opening round, but again I don't know what the boy can do. Hence why I said I'll be interested to watch this one

It clearly shows his face, thats all. Good for a profile photo in a record or something.

You're reading WAYYYYYY too much into it.

I agree. He's probably waiting for a response from me, aren't you 45h?

[Diablo 1]

You agree and yet I'm being negative? Very odd...

It did sound a smidgeon negative mate. You were probably just countering the overly optimistic hypothesis about the photos with the obvious reverse, but still...

[45HG 1,559]

In that case I apologise, I should have left it at don't read too much into pictures

haha forget it mate, i've got confidence in your opinions enough to know you won't make judgements based on a photo.

... others on this forum though, I worry, would take what you said & run a mile.

FWIW I have no idea why you're being labelled, as I didn't interpret what you said to "negative" at all.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

cheers, my only concern was that u seemed to have a go at m2w who posted the photos only with the caption "pics of bail". If that wasn't your intention then cheers for clearing it up.

I reckon u are one of those blokes who doesn't want to set yourself up for disappointment. me i am just excited to see the MFC with a clear long term plan for the future both on and off the field.

I think its pretty clear from those pics he will be in the top 10 possesion getters in the league next year and get 10 plus brownlow votes. If we had three photos I could tell you more.

Yeah, let that be a lesson to everyone, don't post photos of players.

Gotta love those blokes who contribute nothing and just sit back and ridicule people who provide images and info.

[H_T 3,049]

FWIW I have no idea why you're being labelled, as I didn't interpret what you said to "negative" at all.

It may have stemmed from this quote: -

I think it's more that you can make a picture tell a thousand words.

He may have dropped that mark, and I can't figure what's impressive in that second photo.

Will be interested to watch this one

Fwiw I didn't think it was that negative either. It's 45h's opinion anyway.

FFS its just two photo's of one of our new recruits in Rohan Bail. He looks good in both photo's. Leave it at that.

[45HG 1,559]

Lol, it's not an opinion, it's me saying that no one should say things like these photos make him look "impressive," revealing that he is fit and can take a mark, perhaps allowing him to play in the forwardline or on a wing.

"He may have dropped it" is not an opinion on his footballing ability.

It's all been quite absurd really

If you are 'saying' that no one should say things like the photo's themselves are impressive, etc then that IS your opinion IMO

You're right in that it's all been absurd.

Gee, Newton looks impressive in going for that mark, that you posted there.

P.S. Was there something wrong IYO from the below post that was posted by me this morning?

Sometimes a picture can tell a thousand words, these photos look impressive from a demon fan point of view. Thanks for the pics M2W. He can leap and take a mark, and Bail looks to be very fit (ie an endurance type player). But thats about it. Nevertheless hopefully he is a 'real find' for the club.

[Nasher 33,617]

This has gone on long enough fellas. Let's get back on topic so we can avoid the lock and key.

It's a pleasure.

I can't believe it went on this long. Must be a slow week for us all. Anyway I didn't mean to suggest you were a negative poster 45. As you say the truth is quite the opposite.

[45HG 1,559]

haha absolutely moving on!

How many of the draftees do we think will play pre season?

I'd be very happy if Bail can slot in and find a position, I assume he'd have the body to do so..

[H_T 3,049]

It's hard to tell for sure from those pics, but he looks like he has a body ready for AFL footy. I imagine that so long as he's fit he's a monty for a run in the NAB cup. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes.

I assume you might be right.

Seriously though, I think perhaps all might get a game throughout NAB Cup/NAB Challenge matches. If we 'somehow' go the distance in the NAB Cup, maybe 4 out of the 6 new draftees. (Not including the PSD pick).

[45HG 1,559]

You just don't drop it do you

Go all the Way??

kidding arent ya HT....... sit tight my man....

[H_T 3,049]

...and enjoy the ride!

Please note...I did say "somehow". We'd be at the bottom of the odds for the NAB Cup....nice and juicy odds too.

Good call - clearly the boy knows how to shepherd well although I'm a little worried about the right to left swing his non-preffered kicks take.

Photo #2 clearly shows Bail is prepared to handball to people who aren't even there! Poser! Delist him already! :D

Edit: To be clear, the above is me having a laugh. Nothing more, nothing less.
