The skillful small forward/winger has completed his second season at the club still without a senior promotion but came close on more than one occasion. He showed enough in his best games that he has the ability to take step forward in 2023 and the opportunity will come.

 

"The Demons’ first-round selection in the 2020 national draft, the midfielder-forward is still yet to make his senior debut. Signed a two-year contract extension mid-year to tie him to the club until at least the end of 2024." - Herald Sun

This isn’t a player review but it’s about Bailey. Oh and… cuteness alert!

A couple of months ago at Gosch’s, the boys were leaving the ground and were being asked for selfies and autographs. Bailey was walking just behind Tracc and I made a beeline in their direction, guernsey and sharpie in hand. He clearly assumed it was Tracc I was approaching. But I passed Tracc and stopped him and the look on his face was priceless! I asked him to sign my jumper and… he blushed! Bless his shy little heart. He signed it and I said, “you’re gonna have to get used to this, Bailey. It’s gonna be happening a lot.” And he blushed even harder, becoming a lovely shade of magenta.  🤭🤭🤭 

His first season was a write off. Will be interesting to watch in 2023
