He will be there next year. Get used to it. On tonight's effort, very few players can hold up their head.

Dumbest player I've seen in years. Offers absolutely nothing, can't see what the coaches and other supporters see in him.

He makes the dumbest decisions every week, and when he makes the right one the disposal is terrible.

 

What are you talking about dazzledavey, he is the perfect Melbourne footballer. Has a dip, has the attributes but makes dumb decisions and is a turnover specialist!! :)

Very disappointed with Bail this year, but then again he's not Robinson Crusoe. Has been given a run with defensive role that he's clearly not suited to.

Seriously! Why just pot Rohan Bail? Nicholson = turn over merchant, Watts = half arsed, Trengove = wasted possessions, Tapscott = one hard contest per match, Sylvia = uninfluencial, McDonald = undisciplined, Jetta = missing, MacDonald = OOF....where do you stop?

If I was a full time recruiter I could find you 50 mature aged players from state leagues around Australia that are better footballers than bail and mckenzie. There's plenty of Sam Gibson's out there and we invest years on fumbling spuds that can't kick.

Pray tell what is he suited to? He can't kick the football.

We can't afford to lose our Elite runners yet, without bolstering our list with more elite runners.

You don't stop when you're on a roll - Frawley = shadow of former self, Dunn = shirk it, Jamar = horizontal, Sellar = VFL


I love how people will whinge about Bail for being given a new role which he at times struggles with but at times does well in, because he struggles to be consistent and hasn't improved.

Sounds like almost every damn player on our list.

Bail at least has the starting credentials: speed, tank, hardness, likeness for physical contact. Puts him ahead of half the list at least. Some of his games are better than others; so be it.

KEY ATTRIBUTE: Hit a target from 20m

Bail don't have it.

He just can't kick. Playing in W.A highlights that even more.


Lucky we have guys in the side who can kick. like Jack Watts!

That covers it RR

Yes some games he only kicks it to the opposition 5 times

At West Coast when recruiting they have one rule - give me players that can kick and find a target. What good is having a player who can run if he cant kick and has poor decision making under pressure.

Look, Bail was a late draft pick so he's done okay to get his fitness to the required level and eek out a few games.

But his kicking has not improved and is unlikely to.

Not AFL standard. Delist.


You see him get the ball anywhere in the forward 50 and just look straight to the goals, and have a crack every time. Doesnt matter who is free in front or around him - he just wants the goal himself every time and NEVER seems to kick it. He backs himself more than Tommy Hawkins...

Bail has elite fitness and spread. Improve his kicking and decision making he'll be fine.

Not every player will be a complete package; every one has their flaws and Bail's (kicking) is probably one of the most easily fixed. Much more easy than teaching a player to be a maniac at the contest, which he is already. Definitely hang on to him before many others... plus Neeld seems to like Rohan.

Agree, You can improve kicking and decision making but will never make a bloke faster, no matter how good his kicking is. In fact change his running style and you may well change his kicking style detrimentally. I struggle to figure out how Bail, a low draft pick is viewed as such a failure when we have number one pick who plays with zero intensity or urgency and that's just the start of our problems.

I reckon he'll be okay.

Good mates with Blease.

Well liked around the club and that builds culture and connectedness.

Oh, and he loves to compete, not like some others.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
