Naturally, the first bloke he'll have a chat with would be Neita but after that I reckon he'd probably want to seek out Colin Sylvia and tell him what he thinks is necessary to get this kid's career on track.

Sylvia was a number 3 draft pick but others in the AFL have moved way ahead of him. It's not all his fault but the time for excuses is over. Colin is one of many who needs to step up in 2008 and he needs to change certain things in his life to succeed.

How does someone who won the TAC Cup Under 18's Coaches Award in 2003 find himself drinking late at night (early in the morning) in night clubs in season four years later?

Finds himself there because he is like 21-22.

I dont think Bailey will seek out one particular player to interview first

But i reckon there is a couple he would be itching to sit down with, and Colin would be one of them

Bruce, Green, Johnstone, White, Yze

Bruce, Green, Johnstone, White, Yze

Bingo, although I think White has tried his heart out this year, but the game is passing him by.

Bailey strikes me as a no nonsense type. Neales what pretty straight up...but I think we have a tougher bloke in Bailey now.

A very simple talk is needed with Col. goes like this. "Son...you could be a champ, for yourself and your team. You have what it needs, but do you have what it takes!! 2008 is the year for you son. but it comes with some boundaries. No silly sh!t. First time your out drinking and your in the ressies for 5. 2nd time and your off the seniors list and out the door...period!! Do you want to play footy...or play the fool.. your choice.."

Finds himself there because he is like 21-22.

You're right of course ... and if he gets to the age of 29 and looks back at a failed football career he might understand why by then.
