Well if Bailey can't be blamed, then I blame, Mahoney, Wellman, Williams, Bodan, the training staff and the bootstudder.

Bailey's new catchcry: Bugger the result, just win the interchanges!

P.S. I find it quite funny how people on these boards resort to name calling and derogatory remarks at the drop of a hat. At least there's some passion amongst the supporters, passion for in-fighting that is.

That after you call for Bailey's head under the mindless assertion that he's a hack. Hypocrisy of the highest order.

I'm just telling it how it is mate.

Great post.

Of course, the players can't be blamed for the lack of effort

Dunn: 2 disposals

Sylvia: 3 disposals

Bode: 4 disposals

Not good enough. Sylvia especially

Great post.

He's had a whole preseason and half a regular season to prove me otherwise, it wasn't based on 30 minutes of football. Let's just agree to disagree and we'll see how successful Bailey ends up being at the end of his career. God knows, we're going to get 3 seasons worth of this crap out of him because we can't pay out a contract.

I'll tell you now he's shaping up as the new Wayne Brittain. Never trust a career coach. Coaches tend to do better if they can rely on personal examples to inspire a team. Obviously a large part of the reason Blight, Matthews, Worsfold, Roos, Thompson have been so successful. What did Bailey ever do as a player, he was the Simon Godfrey of Essendon in the late 80's ffs.

Edit. Sorry 45 hotgod, I meant to quote diablo

We scored!!! Behind to Dunn.

You want to sack a new coach half way through his first year, with a developing list.

Be realistic.

If we sack him we get a new coach, new game plan that takes weeks for the boys to get used to. Not to mention that the media [censored] storm that would take place would kill our club off.

Garland has to be our BOG, or very close.

Leave the slimball alone and forget about arguing about sacking the coach because it ain't gonna happen

Well he just kicked our first goal in a looong time

At least the tiges are having fun. And they don't even have to pay for 22 blokes to turn up and help them with their drills.

Moreton better stick to handballing.

We've improved marginally: goal to Davey now it's only 25 points. Starting to move it better, but not exactly convincing.

Masssive mark to Davey in the goalsquare

We're back!!! 19 points down now!!!

Aaron Davey "Mark of the Year"

Another to us: 13 points

And maybe a shoulder injury to Deledio?

Hey leucopogon, does this make Bailey a genius? Give him a 10-year deal!

Bloody Richo he's got 5 straight

3 Quarter Time

Richmond: 13.14.92

Melbourne: 11.8.74

richo just got his 5th. now we have to pay out that 10 year contract.

What a couple of goals? I'll never be truly happy with the Dees until the inconsistency is eradicated once and for all.

Aaron Davey "Mark of the Year"

I'm not sure it was the best we will see. But getting that far up richo was surely impressive

Richo's a gun, he proves to be the difference so be it. But otherwise, we have a list that can stick it with Richmond, and will be better, and with good leadership i think we can beat them. The players stood up that quarter, played their own type of footy, and that's what happens. Win or lose, they must do it his quarter

Well there you go. No point making drastic assertions based on whimsical emotions now is there?

Well to be optimistic, Richmond kicked 8 of their 13 goals in 10 minutes, so for the rest of the game they haven't been that good. If we continue like we did in the 3rd then we must be in with a chance
