Bails is the guest on the couch tonight, with Gerard, Mike and Hirdy... Will be on quite soon...

about time we had a demon on the monday night footy talk shows! we've had one all year in Brock, that's it...

[Carn dees 108]

nice. Thanks for the mention

[w00dy 146]

Wasn't on for all that long unfortunately, about 10 minutes... They covered the Jurrahcane, Watts being played on QB and the his development and 'earning' his first game, the tanking debate and how he as a coach deals with it... That was about it really, not a whole lot else...

What is this trying to rename our Indigenous Hero Western &/or latin based names??

Didn't we just try to honour his people by buying his first jumper & give to his people.

Why can't we give him the most Indigenous Australian name possible, one that would also honour his peoples?

I think I heard he was called/nicknamed by his locals, Jooka!

Rudeboy, are you out there, what would his people want him called, by us?

What's wrong with Jurrahcane? I like it, I also heard someone in th crown call him "Rah" kind of as a "Raarrgghhh", easy to yell. Both honour him and his people in an appropriate way.

Doing an Arts degree are we?

I love the irony of being so painfully politically correct that the concept of just giving him a nickname like any other player is beyond you and it must be 'the most Indigenous Australian name possible.' Personally I think thats rascist

The impression I had from listening to Bailey last night was that he was very guarded in answering the 'tank' or 'not to tank' question. He was typically answering the questions in a manner you would expect from a coach, without blatantly saying yes or no.

From listening to his opinions regarding Jetta eventually moving into the middle etc. (which no one could have foreseen) I think there's a lot going on in his mind regarding winning v tanking. And we will find out very soon. If he believes we can challenge for a Premiership in the next few years with primarily the same team we have now bar a few adjustments here and there, then he will coach to win. If not, then he will obviously use 'list management' techniques such as WC resting KERR and COX for 'mystery illnesses' to benefit the team in the long run re high priority draft picks.

Bailey was adamant that player development is his raison detre for 2009.

As it should be.

I want to see Wonna play a few, I want to see Watts play a few, I want to see McNamara play a few, and I want to know if Valenti can string some decent performances together.

Watts should return for the easier trio of games against Rich, NM, and Freo. Give the kid some confidence on easier opponents.

"Let the kids play! You let them play!"

The cards will fall where they may - with a little bit of direction from the selection committee.

No, I a blue collar construction worker who is sick of us not honouring our countries true heritage, from its indigenous people, to our flora & fauna, to looking after our land.

A small example to me is things like changing Wanneroo Park racetrack to Barbagallo.

We don't live in Italy, nor Europe. This is Australia.

Thats where I come from.

Jurrahcane was Cougar on 3AW. Think Rex might have made it up, 'cos Davey had another nickname, 2 words but can't remember it.

You've got to love a guy that picks his own nickname.
