How is Bailey MacDonald doing? Provides dash off the backline similar to Jiath who has now departed. 6 games last year with small TOG as sub. Looked good and looked like Mitchell grooming him as young upwardly mobile unit. Any chance of a game round 1 as basement price defender and would improve his AV even if he only got 50% TOG? He would potentially be better scorer than a lot of the basement defender options we have if he gets picked and good TOG. One for the watch list?
