His approach doesn't overly concern me as there's probably not a lot he wants to give way, but I simply make the point, he's not worth listening to and if one expects any revelations they'll be disappointed.

Good. That's exactly the way it should be.

I'd expect him to have a thorough long-term plan in place that does not waver at one disappointing loss.

If he did start to change his message and deviate then I would be worried, because he would obviously be losing faith in his own plan.

I don't ever find it boring to listen to the coach give good answers backed up by solid reasoning.

It fills me with pride for our club.

1) Has anyone ever learnt anything from a Dean Bailey interview?

2) It's not worth tuning in.

1) Definitely! I find his interviews enjoyable and informative. Yesterday for example, was the first time I had heard about Max Gawn's progress on the track.

2) IYO.

I don't see why people are bagging DB's interviews at all

I find them always fascinating, he is a smart guy.

Just remember what he walked into 2 1/2 years ago.

This is a complete Rebuild he is over seeing-and of course he is being carefull.

HaHa The Recipe idea got me laughing :) Remember "League Teams" anybody?

I definitely enjoy him on TV. He's been on Before the Game a couple of times and he's been good fun on that.

Some would prefer emotional carry-on that gets the club nowhere.

I still can't figure out why.

I recall Nathan Burke saying, when he was a consultant to the board during the search for a coach, that he wished he had have played under a coach like Bailey.

Obviously he is not exactly cut from the same cloth as coaches of the past, but I'm happy in the knowledge that those in a position to know think his coaching philosophies are sound.

I remember hearing Nathan Burke the day after Bailey was appointed. He was seriously in awe of Bailey's presentation.

Exactly ..... on all counts!

Just like Richmond in the Wallace era...no one wants that

I'm proud of Terry that he never lost faith in his plan or his message.

It was always a 5 year plan...year..after year..after year.

I tend to agree with Oliver Hill; I don't get a lot out of the Bailey interviews either. You could write the script of his interviews without actually hearing it and you wouldn't get much wrong. I'm completely fine with the fact that he wants to keep his cards close to his chest, but it doesn't exactly make for compelling listening.

The same could be said for pretty much all coaches IMO

totally agree. no revelations from any of them either. straight bat back and forth every time.

I think DB's AGM Speech tells it pretty much how it is. At least there he doesn't have to deal with media spin.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
