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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
