Rohan Bail - 50 games

Nasher
in Melbourne Demons

I think he will be our most improved player this year. The only real knock on him has been his kicking and I think its more to do with settling and balance when kicking then ability/skill.

    Well speak of the devil, just saw him out for dinner with two Dees superstars... South Yarra/Richmond is clearly the place to be for Dees players because I've seen about ten this year!

    Anyway, I think Bail will improve out of sight in the next few years, and I think Roos sees a lot of potential in him.

    Good on him - Nasher's point above re taking a long time is interesting. I think Bail is firmly in the group we brought in a few years ago that could never get on the park together (Blease, Strauss, Jetta, Tapscott etc) due to injury. They all took far longer than you'd think to rack up a meaningful number of games and it really hurt team development through that time, in my view.

    Hammy in the warmup, was it not?

    ?

    I thought it was the Collingwood game where he kicked it to Pettard in the dying stages. Lost by less than a goal.

    That game sticks in my memory as his first. I could be and probably am completly wrong.

    Ro is one of my favourites, but has been frustrating with poor disposal and bad decision making over his career. I love his full-on approach to the game: runs hard, tackles hard is amazing when he takes the game on. He has been pretty good this year and I reckon Roos likes him.

    Well done. His next 50 could be something special - watch this space.

    I'm a bit in the Brian Taylor camp about milestones such as this, but congratulations to him all the same.

    In terms of the way he plays, Rohan Bail has got tunnel vision like nobody's business. I wish he'd dish it off more often inside 50, but other than that I think he gives us a lot of run and effort.

    Well done Rohan. A late draft pick and with several injuries and not the most talent, gives his all.

    Yep, hammy in the warm up, tried to play, failed miserably, and all after his mother had just passed away.

    Just a carp week for the bloke.

    Does feel like he's been around for 100 games, though.

    Agree Redleg

    I am not a big fan but his effort is first class

    I reckon he's not far away from a break out 4 goal game he's capable of.

    He's just a little too inconsistent at the moment to be a considered a good afl footballer at the moment. Hopefully he'll get there.

    He had one kick, it was an absolute ripper in the first minute of the game against NM at Etihad.

    Well, at least they were having a meal together and not out clubbing or binge drinking (I hope!).

    Well done...enjoy the day....and win!

    (50 more than most - but possibly not all - of those who post here).

    For a guy taken at pick 64 (I think) he's done exceptionally well to reach the 50 game milestone. Not the flashiest player going around but he gives his all most weeks. Well done Rohan Bail!

    No alcohol that I noticed, but I was distracted double taking Chip and Howey!

    Gives everything and does the jobs which he is asked to do, can't fault him for that.

    Yes he has deficiencies but if we had his effort and attitude across the list we would be a lot better off than we currently are.

    Well done Rohan and I hope there are more to come for you

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
