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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
