    Congratulations to Bailey Williams on 150 Games

    150 games have come up so quickly for this reliable HBF/Winger.

    Has been a very consistent player throughout his career to date, and under appreciated by all.

    Goes about his business with a minimum of fuss. And he's certainly shown over recent seasons that he can play with quite a bit of flair.

    I'm a huge fan, but believe he's not met his potential at times.

    When he's looking fit and seems to have put the work in, he has a good return and this is where he's at right now. Another five years and he might be a 250 game player and that's a stellar career.

    Genuine barometer.

    Would have to be close to the all time leader for candy sold at the club. He flies under the radar so well that opponents never fail to fall for it, even after 150 games.

    I really like Truck. He has this innate quality to him where he just comes off like he’s a gun at footy. He’s also (one game in 2021 notwithstanding) so reliable wherever he’s played on the ground.

    Always thought he'd eventually move into an inside mid role, he seems built for it. Was surprised when they put him on a wing but have been very impressed with the progress in that role.

    Nice, for a kid who was touch and go early in his career.
    Someone put stats up a few weeks back suggesting he's in the top 5 wingman in the competition this year? Has the flexibility to go back if needed too

    From day dot during his first pre season in a hot session at Maroochydore you could see something there, was really impressed that day watching, has been a very valuable player for us, well done on 150.

    I was worried for him post 2021 GF when he had a nightmare game. Took him a while to recover from that IMO.

    I think he’s been very good in most games this year and is looking more assured. Like the fact his kicking a few goals recently too. His versatility is a big plus for us too.

    Must be one of the auto selections each week now.

    Bravo Bailey. And here’s hoping you play in a winning GF in a month and a bits time.

    Well done Bailey Williams. Another pick in the 40s that has been an outstanding success for our club.

    Love watching him play. Damaging with the ball in hand and often bobs up for a goal. Flies under radar but would be close to an automatic selection week in week out.

    Very solid and reliable. He has had a good couple of years and has become a lock. Versatile player.

    Has built a really solid CV. I remember being excited about his prospects when he and Brad Lynch (another great favourite who unfortunately didn't quiet make it) were charging off half back for Footscray. Mr. Reliable!

    Good bag of tricks and a very capable player across a few roles.

    I thought 2021 GF broke him mentally but he has fought his way back to being a valuable, reliable player where needed and an excellent contributor when in his preferred role.
