Dean Bailey on Footy Classified

Recommended Posts

Watching the Sunday Footy Show James Brayshaw said for Melbourne fans watch Footy Classified where Dean Bailey will be a special guest. So stay up or tape it if you want to see what has to be said. Should be interesting with him and Garry with Garry saying he wouldn't give him a new contract just yet.

Anyway just thought I'd give the heads up.

Thanks for that.

How about running a sweep on the number of times the word "competitive" gets mentioned during the course of the interview?

I'm in. I'll get it started with one every one and a half minutes. I assume he'll be on for around ten minutes of show-time, so that would put my answer at seven. I'll keep track of it.

will be very interesting what Garry Lyon has to say to Bailey , after his comments last week.... Hutchy, I'm sure, will bring it up.

I don't expect fireworks. Garry will ask a couple of hard questions and Bails will give calm measured responses to them. Then that waste of skin Hutchy will make some sorta right but mostly made up statements while grinning like a ten year old that has dropped the f-bomb in adult company. Usually Caro will then say something that makes no sense and Thomas will look at both the journos like they have just crawled out of the swamp and are 5 million years short of being considered human.

Heh. There you go. I'd say there is now no point watching but I wonder how close to the mark I'll be.

HAHAHAHAH! And the funniest thing about that (other than the fact that it's all true) is that it's the winningest formula for that type of show that currently exists.

You can't read but you can count??

Anyone else noticed they have given Caro a bit of a make-over this season? She has either lost some weight or channel 9 has given her a face & chin tuck. Also must have got the teath whitened & straightened coz it doesn't look like she has a mouth full of Edgell peas anymore.

Still cringe most times she offers an opinion.

Hmmm, not sure that this is necessary, we don't spend much time worrying about what the blokes look like, why worry about her? . BTW, she had braces which must have been removedover the summer.

Disagree about Caro. She's usually extremely well informed and always backs up the opinions she offers up which is more than I can say for people who only toss up ad hominem insults.

I actually look forward to her Tuesday evening segments on 3AW.

I agree, i think grant thomas is the weakest link on that show, because he makes such wild statements, and has basically no stats or evidence to back them up. It's almost as if he comes straight from the pub

Disagree. Thomas is the best part of that show. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, risks getting into trouble if he thinks criticism is due of the AFL or umpires, and he is generally reasoned with what he says.

Unlike Hutchy, who blows everything out of proportion and makes ridiculous comments most of the time.

I like Thomas too.

He isn't afraid to speak his mind and offer an alternative view.

I like people like him who think outside the box, but he can be antagonistic at times.

Yes he can. It does get annoying at times, but overall it's probably necessary.

The other thing I don't like is his St Kilda bias. But other than those, really he's a good part of the team.

i saw garry this morning. i was almost going to ask him what he was going to say to bailey tonight, and whether his opinions on him had changed at all in the last 7 days.

i decided against it, as it was too early in the morning on a public holiday, so i thought i'd let him get his latte in peace.

Yes, he'll talk of "getting games into the young players", "competitiveness", the amount of "quarters won" last year not being good enough, of not rushing Jack and getting his "body ready to withstand the rigours of the AFL", the disappointment of losing "Liam Jurrah" and how incredible it is that "he's only played 9 games", how well "Scully and Trengove have recovered from games" and that we carefully monitor their "loads", that he's got a great relationship with the "Board and Cameron Schwab who've been very supportive and understand what we're trying to achieve", how it "wasn't acceptable to lose to Collingwood" and that the players will "learn from that"....

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
