Before we all get too excited, I am playing devils advocate and just posing this as a possible scenario. Our first four games are against Syndey, Hawthorn, Brisbane and Gold Coast follwed by a bye in round 5. I would hope we would win at least 3 out of the first 4. What happens if we are 0 and 4???????

Bailey has rebult the team but when you listen to his press conferences over the last 3 years he continues to say the same thing. (IE to many turnovers, not enough inside 50's, skill level needs improvement etc etc). Isnt that his job to make sure we do improve. Sadly he is saying the same thing again this year (yes i know its only preseason).

Obviously we have a team that can compete and I know we are young and I know we have to be patient but there comes a time when we "the fans" need to see more improvement on the field. LESS TALK MORE ACTION.

If we start 0-4 (then after R5 we have a trip to Perth, could be 0-5) then Bailey needs to go. Replacement Leigh Matthew or Mick Malthouse or Paul Roos with G Lyon as Assistant.

PANIC !!!! please don't let us be that situation.

SACK BAILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!1

Bailey will sign a two year deal sometime this year....thats my opinion

if we are 0-4 there will be riots, i will be bitterly disappointed, and there will be laughs from the directions of everyone as we would be the team that was beaten first by gold coast ...

Yeah but if Dean Bailey takes us to a flag I reckon we should mount a statue and name it the Golden Bailey of Supreme Righteousness.

We won't.

We'll be 2 & 2 after 4 games.

Your aunty would be your uncle.

Everyone is entitled to free speech and as you're a new member and poster i don't want to discourage you sharing your opinions but it is very hard not to ask you what the point of this thread is?

We have a better pre season that last year but your already thinking of sacking Bailey?

Wow....

If we're 0-4 before the bye, we re-load during the bye and all systems go for round 6.

So you would be prepared to sack the coach, then and there after Round 4 ? Short sighted I think given our young list and their development.

I doubt any of the above mentioned replacements would be interested in dropping everything and taking over at Round 5/6.

Maybe Bin Laden himself is behind this post attempting to sap morale in this fair city. Losing to Brisbane and Gold Coast ???? Just what we hopeful supporters need.......A BIG DOLLOP OF NEGATIVITY !

Hypotheticals.

Fun.

I could go through this and make this look particularly ridiculous, but this post isn't worth it.

It hasn't met basic standards of common sense and reason, and is pure MFCSS.

if we are 0-5 that means we will have zero points.

It depends how the losses occur before any Rash Sackings & Burnings are commenced.

Here we go again....Footy 2011

Yeah but if Dean Bailey takes us to a flag I reckon we should mount a statue and name it the Golden Bailey of Supreme Righteousness.

Behold, the Golden Bailey of Supreme Righteousness Statue

Anyone know who the early draft picks in 2011 are likely to be?

I shall do exactly the same as if we are 5-0. I will support the team and go to each game with my heart in my mouth (isnt that what we do every game??). I will let the idiota in the media call for sackings and suggest unrest. I will watch this site to see which players get mauled here, and which ones are 'Lyonized'. And I will enjoy that it is FOOTY SEASON AGAIN!! Bring it on!!

Watch the sydney game from last year on repeat...

Usually on the sleeve, after we've coughed it up!

we have the ability and the right mix( except bate and warnock ). IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MINDSET. everyweek this year bar the byes a team will be priming themselves to play the pies. why cant we adapt their mindset.

I would sack him after round 6 if we're winless. It's time that wins and losses count when assessing Bailey's performance.

He wouldn't survive any other league around the world if a 15-50-1 record actually got worse.

Well, the this year's March fo Melbourne would make the Egyptian protests look like a walk in the park, it would start raining upwards and Tom Scully will bite the bullet and walk to Spain to take up an offer with Barca.

What a crap "what if?" thread. Are we going to write the articles and the headlines for the HS?

Hmmm...WHAT IF Skull, Gys, Trenners, Tappy, Davey etc... CLICK, overwhelming any attempt to tag all of them and deliver the ball to Watts, Jurrah, Green etc... with such precision and power they're left with an impression of the ball on their chests after the game and a bad case of leather contact dermatitis???

I wouldn't be making any moves regarding the coach unless we're bottom 4 as at round 15-16.

Even though I really like Bailey, I can't see him surviving if we go backwards from 12th this season

What if we're 4-0 or 5-0? Should we sign up Bailey for 5 years immediately?
