THE COACH

[ickey_11 145]

It is the Hawthorn game all over again.

The game plan to swarm back just leaks goals when they are under pressure. Geelong showed how a well coached side can absorb this pressure and not get the score board damage.

Sack the PLAYERS!

[DeeBest 13]

I may as well start it...time for the Melbourne Footy Club to show some balls for the first time in a while and get rid of this bloke. Zero improvement in the skill level over four seasons, and the lack of a game plan is concerning to say the least.

[Guest watts04]

no game plan = coachs fault

poor starts = no respect or attitude to play for the coach

[Guest watts04]

gettin hard to defend bails when even the leaders r soft

[Guest watts04]

will he tell us how good the eagles r like he said about the hawks

[Pipefitter 2,159]

Good as gone now.

[Felix 92]

I wouldn't stop at DB, the rest of them are doing nothing... DB will continue to keep our Demons as the joke side.

[Mallee Bull 97]

I've defended Bailey in these arguments, but I have to admit, I'm starting to think change is needed. We are young, we have talent, we were never going to be a great side this year. But this continual poor starts, with lack of structure and very ordinary skills during games...even the suns have more structure than we do.

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

I've been a staunch supporter but I'm pretty damn close to getting off the band wagon. Something has to change and very quickly to change my mind.

We need a top line coach now....Bailey is an assistant. I like him but he is not the coach we need.

We need to start the change this week otherwise the whole season is going to get worse.

Jimma deserves better than this.

Continual.

Put Connolly in there now. This club need to spend on the best coaches available. No matter what it takes.

We can't let this group dissolve away into nothing again. Just give me some dam G&D, a sign that a group of players understand what the fARK they are meant to be doing out there.

I fail to see it. Continually.

[Face Your Demons 175]

That hardest thing, {at least for me} is watching team that are behind us becoming competitive so quickly. IE Bombers Eagles,

[Guest watts04]

mathews, malthouse and roos question our game plan. We need to take the hint

i hope we get flogged so we get the scrutiny we need

[emubitter 0]

the lack of mongrel, guts and having a crack is seriously evident. i have never seen this side as a hard side at any stage under bailey. things have got to change.

at least put some balls into it you bunch of over paid prima donnas

[gOLLy 401]

Mark Williams = Ball Movement.....PFFFFFTTTTTT!

Josh Mahoney = Bailey Love Child

Choco Royal = Defensive coach....OMG!!! (retirment fund?)

Fire Sale...Fire Sale!

He has to go now.

He's lost the players, he's clearly lost Schwab and other high ranking officials.

Dean Bailey has no place at MFC

I believe that this is exactly what I was referring to about will to win the other day WYL. I just didn't think they would prove my point so spectacularly.

[Demon Disciple 12,122]

I remember at the time of looking for a new coach, many were strongly against Connolly. But compared to Bailey, having him as coach would be seen as a stroke of genius. At least Connolls has some passion for this club. Bailey looks like he couldn't give a [censored]. Time for change, don't wait til seasons end, sacking him now will send a strong message that we will not stand for mediocrity. Connolls to take over for the rest of the year, then try and get a coach who has some idea of a gameplan that works, and has a plan b&c should plan a not be working.

[PeterJames 46]

From his interview he sounded under the pump a little.

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Have been a big fan of Dean's but would love to see a John Northey type with this group.

One who can get them playing for each other, with some real passion and never say die attitude.

This is not good tonight

MB perhaps we are not as talented as we think!

[Guest watts04]

bailey isnt up to it

attitude is everything and we have none

[Kento80 83]

gotta be gone now, surely

[Guest watts04]
