Please, I don't want to sound like a pessimist, however after the devastating loss to Eddiewood I still can not believe that we were so bad. To loose may be, but destroyed, it is still painful. So every MFC support is looking to the future, is it Watts, may be Blease, or even Scully and Butcher or another from the ranks that will be an AFL SUPERSTAR, do you think we have the best coach to take the MFC to a flag in the near future, if not who do you think. According to the Hun, the list above includes possibles out of contract this year or next and some others. <_<

If you had the ultimate choice of a coach to take the MFC to the next flag, assuming we get a priority pick this year, who would be the best choice?

I am Happy with Dean Bailey but i want Todd Viney back at the MFC in the next few years. Todd was a gun player who was Hard at it.

I hope he comes home, even as an assistant to Bails i don't mind

I'm of a similar view 'wyl', happy with Bailey. Would like to see Todd V, back @ the club.

I think Guy McKenna would be a good Front man for a club like Melbourne, If in the future.

Possibly the the most inane thread I've ever seen. But then again you can't spell Bailey and you want Lyon to coach so that about sums it up. Next!

Bottom line?

Bailey is as much a chance as ANY coach... I'd rather an unproven Bailey who knows the list from teenage years, and is able to build his own list from day one (pretty much), than a old has-been who will need a seaosn or two to sort out who he wants, and to gain the respect of his players.

Norm Smith.

And don't say it couldn't happen, we have all seen Kate & Leopold.

Oh, we haven't?

You're not missing much, actually...

Very average movie...

Oh, and I didn't vote.

Very average poll...

Retarded thread.

Bailey.

I don't believe this is a retarded thread at all. Why do you say that? Because your vote is Bailey? Doesn't mean everyone else's is....

For me, I have always wanted Gary Lyon as our coach and the coach that would take us to a premiership. Mostly because I loved watching him play as a youngster and also because he was such a passionate player.

This doesn't mean I am unhappy with Bailey. I think Bailey has done a more than admiral job with our list and the way he has implemented the game plan.

Hopefully it will start working within a couple of years...

I am happy with Bailey as coach but if it were up to me (before he had been appointed), it would have been Lyon.

I've been snooping around a bit & I can tell you that the inside goss is Bailey's the cream. :lol:

I've heard bits & pieces from ppl involved in the board that said Bailey was never seen as a long-term solution as coach, that he'd be fine while we were at the bottom rebuilding but will never be able to take us to a premiership.

I get the distinct impression that assessment has now changed for many.

Thanks for the support from those who think that this is not a stupid post. It is strange that everyone is allowed their opinion but as soon as you don't agree its retarded. At the moment there are so many threads on players futures, and at only half way through the season, what is the difference. I bet some of those Muppets have posted wanting certain players out for the end of the season. Well it is now half way on Bailey's contract, and why not look to the future. Everyone here what to see the mighty MFC with a flag, which is something I have never seen, and would give my left one before I die to revel in the glory. If we get picks no 1 & 2 at the end of the season we will be the last of the teams to be allowed pick 1 let alone 1 & 2 for many years. The Dawks, Carltank and Saints are the only teams that have really exploited the draft, and all are now reaping the rewards. Thomas couldn't do it at the Saints (So they sacked him), yet he had the makings of a fantastic team with Koschitzke, Riewold, Ball, Goddard, all pick 1 and 2 in 2000, 2001 and 2002. And I for one don’t want to take as long as them to be as successful as they are today. I really started this based on the total disgust, disappointment and feeling of humiliation I had after our effort against Eddiewood. If our team and coaching staff cannot make us perform on our biggest stag except finals, what is the future? So why not assess our coach, is he the one that will hold the cup aloft, or just another Thomas? Your opinion is valued, even the Muppets.

The MFC needs stability, look at the strong and successful clubs, they all have it. And yes the club needs to have a 10 year successful coach. Every post has its value, if you don't agree fine, but why bother bagging, as all our footy desires lead to one thing, a Premiership. As I say "Through our actions and attitudes create an environment that produces Premierships!" not bagging the [censored] out its supporters, right or wrong.

Probably because you might as well start a new thread on what you think next week's lotto numbers will be.

It is outlandishly stupid to not realise so.

.. and for the record: one of them will be a 2.

Hopefully he comes back to the Dees when we draft Jack under father/son.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
