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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
