Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


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.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
