I think you'll find they offered something in the 70s/80s, but anyway, I agree, it was far below what he was worth, in a year where no one was being traded for high picks because of GC and WS.

As for scapegoating, if the rumour mill is right and CJ copped some vicious serves after some of his better performances, then it appears he was indeed a scapegoat. Guys can play 22 games a year and still be a scapegoat for what is wrong according to a coach.

Others have corrected you on this.

You should avoid the rumour mills and get closer to the actual facts. FWIW, 70 to 80 is optimistic where he is at given his management hocked him for a month to all other Clubs and did not get a bite. Carlton have illustrated his actual "worth".

Overall, its a pity that a thread on Dean Bailey has been sidetracked to another thread on CJ. Gee I cant wait to the real season comes around

Never has so much been written about a player who has been so ordinary.

Lets move on.

FWIW, I'll back in where I heard it from, that picks in the 80s were discussed. At the end of the day though.. CJs management were actively shopping him around from the end of the season until trade week.. if the MFC thought he'd definately come back after they refused to trade him then they were playing with fire.

The thread has become about CJ but it really is still about Bailey and his man-management. A young player who had the best season of his career and was showing some signs of genuine improvement walked away because of the treatment of the coach, and appeared to have the sympathy of at least one teammate and most likely a number more in the matter..

At the start of the year he was a certainty to be delisted, and with good reason.

He played about 2 good games this year, and racked up some of the cheapest possies in about 4 other games.

Can we postpone the whining for when we actually lose a decent player to another team...

I second that.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
