Bailey has always been a good teaching coach. When he was an assistant it was always what he was noted for.

Do you feel better now that everyone knows how good you are?

Mate I couldn't give a hoot what everyone thinks about me. It wouldn't have meant $h!t had I not referenced to some kind of experience on the topic. You seem to be getting off on winding people up today. You say he has always been a good teaching coach. Good for you. I had always been told that too, however I am beginning to wonder. God forgive me. What a goose.

What Kent said is spot on if you know anything about Head Hunting tactics in Business.

About 30% of the Population are Leaders and 70% followers and that is in the DNA Genetic.

Works in tandem with Body Language.....Poor old Dean looked pretty empty last night.

How about:

"Maybe Bailey isn't as good a teacher as reputed ..... He's been trying to teach for 4 years and it is not working. The same issues keep rearing their ugly heads. Something is wrong."

And I am enjoying today. I love a good torch burning, but not necessarily for the same reasons as most.

That's the thing though isn't it...

We have a bunch of assistant coaches, and no senior coach. The Dons model is one we should be looking at. There's ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why, with the right brains at the top, this list can't turn it around in 2012 in the same way the Dons did.

For 2011 there's gonna be a lot more pain before gain, I'm afraid.

Maybe I should take you on as my media manager then :P

All means the same thing in the end. I prefer to tell things if I can with a link to some experience, otherwise it is just an opinion.

I will tolerate more pain this year, as long as the right moves are made off field.

What are your solutions...should we just limp along in true MFC style for the next 16 weeks putting sub standard games of experience into our list of talented kids??

It's what has happened a few times in the past...Never works. 47 years since the last flag, and last night we play like that.

I've heard the "Bailey is a teaching coach" repeated over the last three and a half years. Who started this?

I have seen no evidence to suggest that this is true. We have recruited what were considered the best kicks in the draft over the last few years, in Maric, Strauss and Morton, and they are now all poor kicks. Grimes has gone backwards in skill. Miller went backwards and is now gone. Bate has gone backwards, Davey has gone backwards. Jones and Moloney are often criticised for their poor skill.

Jamar, Frawley and Garland are probably the only players that have exceeded my minimum expectations of them in the last 3 years.

It was stated a couple of weeks ago by the coaching staff that there is no game plan?

So what the hell is he teaching???

The biggest issues are with out structures at stoppages. We are the only team in the afl who when we have a contest on the 50m ark we have no one to kick to up field as an option or even a get out clause along the boundary line. Why is this the case? Only Dean Bailey knows.....................

very poignant

a week is a very long time in footy as someone has pointed out...but for us, its a great chance to bounce back. we've got 2 and a half wins out of 5. i dont care if it was gold coast brisbane, you play who you've gotta play . add up the points at the end of the season and if we're good enough for the 8 we'll be in it, if not, we're not. rushing into sacking a coach is just what this club doesnt need and the board are a lot smarter than that.

expect big things from brad green starting next week

Posted

the reason it will change? cos davey and green have gottten away with it this season beating gold coast and brisbane. now we've had the wake up call required. yes it shouldve happened after hawthorn, but there will be a lot of changes at the selection table this week.

keep dean bailey coach group has almost 80 members and its been running for less than an hour. looks like at this rate he won't be sacked..

just making a mockery of some of the logics that gets thrown around here such as the drums are beating for dean bailey as 80 members out of 34,000 odd want him sacked...

Hey, if Dean survives, good luck to him..it means he has weathered a lot of Flack, and that things have quickly changed....Fine. You will notice in other threads i have not attacked Dean personally at all. He is a Top Bloke. But to me it looks like his coaching has plateued, and Brad Green is not the man for the captains job.

Being Captain is not easy, & i think Brad would be better just concentrating on his game as an experienced forward.

Do Tell what Aaron Davey & Brad Green will miraculously do this week when the heat is on, that they should have been doing for the Past 5 weeks??

And will this continue into the week after at Etihad against North, who at this very moment will be bloody loving this!!

Sorry mate but i have heard your answers of hope one too many times.

"Fans call on Demons to Sack Bailey"

Regardless of your views or wishes....The Drums are Beating loud now....A week is a long time in Football.

The thing is that footy fans as a whole are generally clueless idiots, and I imagine that those making the decisions realise this. If the club deem that sacking Bailey is the correct course of action, then fine, I'll back them in, but if they did it on the back of a few emotional supporters having a good old moan about one poor loss then we're in worse condition than I thought as a club.

Channel 9 News were quoting Demonology supporters quotes. Surely the Club has to respond and the players have to be feeling the heat. If not there is no hope.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
