Bailey as Development Coach?


burn in hell

Recommended Posts

There is alot of talk about Bailey's performance as senior coach, however, we may agree that he is a good development coach. MAKE HIM DEVELOPMENT COACH and let him work with the young players that he has already invested 2 years of time. By having him as development coach, we can kinda honor his 2 year contract, and our money does not entirely go to waste.

Another extreme.

One extreme says Bailey can't coach and is no good, even though he's really only had one full year with the young players.

The other extreme is that Bailey is a brilliant development coach, even though no young player has really gone out and beyond in his time at the club.

Also, can a mod change the thread title to "Bailey as Development Coach?" or something similar.

The important thing is that nobody has overreacted and hit the panic button after one game. :rolleyes:

Nice call.

Re: the OP,

Bailey would happily be demoted to Development Coach??

Did you even think things through, or just hurriedly post cos you wanted to get it out there before the idea leaked out of your brain..?

If Bailey were to be replaced at the end of his contract then the most logical option is to get an established premiership coach someone like a Malthouse or a Mark Williams.

Could we afford the coin ($$$$) to get an "established premiership coach" - irrespective of the names people want to throw forward.

It is evident that the performances of 2010 are lacking intensity. Bailey is responsible for that. Remember, he intentially lost games for us last year so he could get his draft picks for the club. Lets give him the opportunity of developing them.

We have signed him for 2 years, right?

He is not going to get a senior AFL position anywhere else.

Bailey is not responsible for the intensity of the players, the players are, I do not expect our Rd 11 team to look anything like the Rd 1 team, we have had one poor game, I am willing to wait until at least Rd 11......also how could we get rid of Wellman and Williams, Wellman is developing really good defenders and Williams along with West has taken a guy off the Rookie List and turned him into a player who only played 60odd % of the game but was one of our better players.

Bailey is the coach, the whole club is behind him, he is not going anywhere, get over it

The best AFL coaches inspire intensity in their players. Yes, it has got to come from within the individual player, but the coach

plays an essential role in lighting this spark.

It was interesting to listen to 4-time premiership player Martin Pike on SEN the other night discuss exactly this topic.

He said that the teams in which he achieved ultimate success (North Melbourne and Brisbane) both revered and feared

their coaches. He said if Leigh Matthews or Denis Pagan set you a task, you carried it out. No questions asked.

Does Dean Bailey inspire such passion and commitment? That's the key question.

Exactly.

Remember years ago when Schimmelbush coached North. They got flogged in the practice matches, then played Rd1 in Adelaide where were insipid, Got smashed by about 130pts. The players were not inspired by the coach. Coach was sacked, I believe Pagan might have taken over at that time and they won 2 premierships in the next decade.

Obviously having a club legend as their coach didn't really work.. Come on down Todd :)

yes just the one game, i forgot about the last 2 spoons.

I do not mind any supporter putting the blowtorch on the coach, i know people are saying give him time, but how much bloody time.

To carry out a task anybody can do it is how well you do that task, you can take Pike's statement a few ways.

The problem I think with us and this is not demeaning the players, is we haven't really got a player who is a superstar and can take the game by the scruff of the neck and inspire the other players, one head goes down and the rest follow, as I have said previously the team by Rd 11 will bear no resemblance to the team than played in Rd 1

I would assume that the rest of the 'senior' players, in fact all the players have been put on notice, no matter what your name is you will spend time at Casey if you do not produce.....

Well the first year was the clean out year and last year he would have been crucified for winning games by the groupthinkers on this site. So we put up a bad showing in one game this year and he should be sacked? Who in their right minds expected us to be more than 1 win in the first lot of games anyway?

If we were to get a coach to replace Bailey, which I am not advocating, do you think he would really want to stick around and be a Developmemt/Assistant coach?

I don't think you know anything about football or football clubs or developing young AFL players.

A developement Coach is a Head Coach who is put in charge to teach & develope the players into a team.

The definition of a finishing coach is one who can then instill the intensity into that team to go through to premierships.

Alistair Clarkson has proven to be able to do both. As have most Premiership Coaches at some stage.

Bailey needs time to develope his young list of talent. This is not yet if you hadn't noticed, a Grand Final list.

Wish i had Heard that. I like Martin Pike. When he talks Footy i listen, he has been through it all. From Fitzroy to 4 Premierships.

Maybe the cub should get him down to talk to our young guys...not many have 4 premierships in the modern era.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
