Rohan Bail, the missed man

God we need him back.

It's been really noticeable since he went down how the opposing top class mids have been a class above. Why? Because Bail is the first choice tagger and does a sensational job. See Goddard vs St Kilda, Judd vs Carlton (twice), Wellingham vs Collingwood (Bail would have taken him that day, McKenzie destroyed Pendles), Cooney vs Dogs.

Here's hoping he plays against West Coast and does a job on Priddis or Kerr.

    Yeah a bright spot this year for sure...

    Unfortunately given the amount of time he's missed. I doubt we will see him back at Melbourne this year. I love the way he goes about it. If he can get a few Casey matches into his legs and perhaps some VFL finals then that can hopefully launch him for a full pre-season and a sustained injury free run at 2012...

    Bloody oath we do.....

    It has been proven how important he is to this team and we can only hope he will be fit for next week.

    We have missed him (and Grimes) enormously.

    A severely underrated player who, IMO, is one of the first chosen each week when fit.

    We have about 10 players on our list who could look to Rohan for a guide on the attitude and gut-running effort required week in, week out.

    And to add to that, he actually does the job he's asked to do.

    Agree with this. Grimes and Bail have the combination of hardness and ball carrying ability that we are sorely missing at present.

    I agree, before his injury he was a shining light. My problem is that Rohan seems to be injury prone. I don't know the stats, but I reckon in his time at Melbourne, he must have spent 50% of his time on the injury list (with a variety of injuries). I just hope his rotten run of luck doesn't continue, because he should be an important part of our future.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
