Rohan Bail - 2014

Kent has a problem with his patella and is not running at the moment, Roos wants Blease to get fit (his words not mine) Byrnes and Tapscott are in the rehab group , Roh Bail is in full training and has been since day 1, so maybe he is ahead at the moment

Satyr, just to clarify. When you said "his words, not mine", did you mean Paul Roos's words or Sam Blease's?

In my mind Nut hes already on that list ( hes not alone either )

I am delusional - I am a fully paid up member of the "Roos turning pigs ears into silk purses" club.

Roos, at his presser at Fed Sq the other day, Blease's name was brought up, and he said, paraphrase "we have to get him fit", (seems to be doing nothing but running at training)

I see the "poor disposal" as a secondary issue.

To me he is a hard at it midfielder. The major problem is he doesn't get his hands on it often enough and as pointed out, when he does get the pill his disposal is iffy.

Yes he has to use the ball better but first step is to get more involved.

If this doesn't improve then he will be an end of year casualty.

Was just about to post this, he needs to find the ball a lot more.

From what I can gather talking to the players, apart from the key position (if that still exists), I think Roos has already got around to every players and told them what role he expects them to fill, and that it is up to them whether that is at MFC or Casey.......Roh Bail 'imtimated', ie I have to learn to read berween the lines, I get bits, in this case I asked him why he was training with the forwards, and he said his role would be as a forward using his gut running.....so I interpreted that as defensive forward

Because of his running ability, do people see him as a tagger? I think his disposal isn't great, but it's better than McKenzie's. Conversely, his tackling technique is not as good as he gives away too many frees for head high tackles and "in the back". I've always thought his natural position was as a "run with" player.

There was a game last year, can't remember which, he had 8 tackles and one free against?
