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.

I believe he was also on 3AW last night. Probably was asked the exact same questions and gave the exact same answers though...

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.

Can someone please post a link?

Cheers!

It's the Run Home program.

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

At the end of the day, they just take it one interview at a time.

Yeah, nah, maybe.

The same could be said for pretty much all coaches IMO

Indeed.

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.
