During a brief 'grab' on SEN this morning , our esteemed coach was quoted as saying that Johnson and SPENCER had been playing reasonable football , but both needed to step up today .

Does he know that one of them isn't playing ?

They both are playing reasonable footy. I thought Spencer's first two games were quite impressive, I think Bailey's resting Spencer, and giving Meesen a shot due to the fact he hasn't played yet.

I think spencer did alright in his first two games, still a rookie. Takes a while for ruckmen to develop. It`s great that Meeson is getting a go. Finally gets to show us what hes like. Hope he does alright.

Well all I can say is that we better have some more improvement and the MFC better get some wins on the board otherwise Dean Bailey will be lucky to last his full contract.

Does anybody know what Dean Bailey's game plan is yet....??? :blink:

Give him a go - at least to half way. I can barely bring myself to say it but AAAGH what about BUCKLEY. His comments and reading of the game seem outstanding!! <_<

Buckley will want $1m a year to coach and we don't have a spare Mill.

What about Simon Buckley. Hell of a lot cheaper and would encourage his players to run and take the game on, something a lot of people here want. Besides, Nathan wouldn't be caught dead coaching us. But that's okay, because I wouldn't be caught dead supporting a team that had anything to do with that [censored].

P.S. have you taken a look at that guy's nose. WTF is up with that?

starting to agree, was a big supporter but am dropping off after the first 3 efforts for the year. He does not seem to be able to motivate the boys for 4 quarters, on thin ice, Jimmy won't get rid of him though

On thin ice eh? He's barely into the second season of what I'm sure the power-brokers at Melbourne see as a five year plan. Cut him some slack.

He's currently fielding a team that will be radically revised in the next three years. He's trying new players, experimenting with positions, waiting on some gun draft picks to pull on the jumper and determining who of our middle tier players have the mustard to cut it.

And exactly who would you get rid of him for? You can 'drop off' all you like right now and good riddance.

A short-sighted and ignorant post.

I will give Dean Bailey the benefit of the doubt. I realise it will take a very long time to improve....I just get frustrated and angry after a big loss (as I'm sure we all do!).

I just would like the Demons to remain "competitive" throughout the entire game and at least WIN a few matches during the year!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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.
