He's just about to come on now.

I have never seen Dean laugh and be so happy in my whole life.

Getting some?

 

Dad made the comment 'way too much of a nice guy'

so what?


No thousand-yard-stare, no ability to rev up a poorly-performing side.

Is your dad also familiar with the expression, "don't judge a book by its cover"?

Dean Bailey was great on that show tonight, i like him a lot.

Get some wins on the board this year Dean, you deserve a good crack with this list.

We must be up for the Wet Coke game.

Really...if that's all it takes to coach a side we should see if Clint Eastwood is available?

You must admit though Clint Eastwood would be a magnificent coach...nobody would defy Clint!!

We would be better with Chuck Norris tho.

Line Ball i say...during "The Good The Bad & The Ugly" when Clint puts on that poncho you just know he means absolute business!!! :lol:

Oh, a thousand yard stare. Wellman had one, but he's just an assistant.

Eade has one, but he's not a premiership coach, and he's mellowed.

A stare is not all there,, :blink:,, is to coaching.

Wellman reminds me of John Wayne.

To everyone criticising his nice guy persona, Bomber Thompson didn't have a stare down, and was normally very calm and laid back. To say you need to be a hard arse these day to win football is an utter joke.

Is anyone going to write what was said?

Haha good point.

Paraphrasing here because was cooking at the time-

Asked about why Watts was sub instead of whole game- Watts was seen as the most out of form forward/it was a form thing- didn't elaborate too much on it, think he was seen as the 22nd best at the time, which contradicts the theory that a sub should be a horses for courses scenario- not your 22nd player.

Some footage was shown of Chippa with Prince William and was asked if he'd take William over Watts, some banter ensued and it was revealed William was unwilling to put on one of our jumpers (the pompous [censored]) also that Watts was stronger and a better kick than William, Watts has put on a fair bit of weight since being at the MFC etc

Asked about Carro's article and if he took anything from the lack of praise on the coaching department. Didn't see anything wrong with it and spoke to Schwabby about it.. didn't hear too much about this as was pre-occupied- sorry.

Shown footage of a rather enamoured Davey with his arm around Bails in a quarter time huddle. Funny stuff. Standard Before the Game fare.

I suspect this would come under the same heading as voting and things like that. He isn't allowed to show favouritism to one group publicly.

The entire show is available on the OneHD app for iPhones as well as on the website

He mentioned that they choose the sub based on form. He and they are wrong.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
