What happens if we start 0-4 or 0-5


DemonOX

Recommended Posts

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.

Your thoughts?????????

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.

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.

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!!

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 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.

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

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
