Fantasy: The role for Zac Bailey in 2021

Zac Bailey is set for a role adjustment this season, there have been several positional changes over the off-season at Brisbane including Dayne Zorko & Cam Rayner. 

Having spent a fair portion of his early career across half-forward & then moving to a wing, Bailey is set to be used in a wing/midfield role in 2021.

Daniel Rich provided insight into the role for Bailey via Sportsday on Monday.

“He’s one of those guys that I think adds a different dimension to our midfield”

“He’ll spend more time in centre bounces as opposed to just sitting on a wing or half forward.” Rich said.

Bailey averaged 13.5 Disposals in 2020.

Brisbane: "Zac Bailey will play a little bit more inside mid this year"
