Rohan Bail - 50 games


Nasher

Recommended Posts

Well done on the achievement. I'm a fan of him at his best; he offers run and intent that others in our side could learn from.

If he can develop some consistency and gain a little polish, his next 50 may come a little quicker. It does feel like he's been around a long time.

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.

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.

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!

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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
