Rohan Bail in 2013

Yes, but this is all a technical skill. Brad Miller's kicking was terrible when arrived, but his kicking improved.

He's harder at the ball and the man than 95% of the players on our list.

Will stay and will become a gun.

First part YES

Second part NAH

 

Bail is definitely not the worst player in our team. It seems he has the right attitude, professionalism and seems to train hard which seems to be exactly what Neeld is trying to bring into our team. I think Bail will hopefully become more of a depth player for us who might replace an injured player during the season. That will mean our midfield is becoming stronger and more skilful.

 

I look forward to bumping this up, OD.

Believe me I am more than happy to be wrong jr.

I live for the day you tell me "I told you so"

I hope it is sooner rather than later.


If everyone has a good look at Bail's kicking towards the end of the game, he kicks and looks exhausted, yet he still gets up and keeps running flat out. Example was towards the end of the Saints game and he had a shot on goal that was pretty woeful.

I think a lot of players are scared to get to that point of exhaustion and still keep playing. Because they know their skills will drop off if they did.

Someone mentioned Jones-ish with his run. I think Jones use to do the same thing, get to a point of exhaustion and not be able to get a good kick/handball off. Once players get use to that level of effort, the skills come back to them. He's a keeper and young players could learn a lot off him.

Theres a few guys on our list who will be 'unlucky' to be delisted.

Bail, Bartram, Jetta, MacDonald are the types of players who could count themselves unlucky if they were to find that their careers had come to an end. Having said that, if they do, our list is likely to be in a much better position than it has been to date, so its not all bad news!

However Neeld's treatment of him post concussion - i.e. straight back in to the side even after missing three weeks, was instructive I thought. The coach is obviously a massive fan.

Spot on Nasher. To be honest at this point i think Neeld's focus will be on players who train hard, follow his direction to their letter, play a specific role and dare i say it 'buy in'. Bail fits this criteria as does Nicholson and for that matter Macdonald, Magner and Sellar. All players with questionable skills but go 100% and for that reason í would imagine are part of Neeld's plans for the foreseeable future.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • 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.
