Todd knows the Melbourne Culture of mediocrity over the years. I really think we need a hardened professional who demands perfection and has experienced a premiership and other clubs systems and Todd ticks these boxes. Bailey has had three years to get the culture right and hasnt and this is shown by our starts, inconsistency and hardness at the footy. Look at what Roos did at Sydney and Malthouse did at the Pies with young lists and now look at Essendon and West Coast and there young players who want to die for their coach. None of our players want to die for Bailey.

We have a recent history of softness and mediocrity and this revolves around the players too with blokes like Bruce, Breen, Yze, Davey etc never workin hard enough to go from good players to superstars. When was our last superstar?

Anyhow im throwing it out there and im for it

Bailey out and Viney in

I agree too, but not necessarily for next year. Look at Port, Primus had some good success last year and they gave him a contract, and since then they've been largely shite. We still need a TOPLINE coach next year.

I'd always worry about conflict of interests with a father coaching a son, and any potential fallout if Jack ends up being a gun, and if we have to sack his old man.

Not the same kettle of fish, but Frank Lampard put in a transfer request from West Ham in the EPL, when they sacked his father.

Since Viney's return the teams perfomance has wilted...He spends match days in the coaches box giving and taking suggestions for moves......while Bailey is on the ground instructing the players.

So maybe Viney is the problem?

Is Viney the best person in coaching at the moment?

If not, who is?

Now Mr. Schwab go and get him.

Yes...this is not the time for a favourite son. I would love Todd to coach, but is he the right man to do it now?

We need to find the Best we can..I still believe in our list very much. But the right Person has to ignite them.

The search starts now.

I know Malthouse used to live in Hampton, but i am not sure of his current address..

Don't worry he has the Age delivered. Didn't bailey find out about the job in the paper?

The story is told that when Dick Pratt got to Carlton, he asked the board and FD "who is the best CEO?" People began answering with "the best CEO available is..." and at this point Pratt interrupted, saying "No, not who is AVAILABLE, but who is the BEST?." the answer came = Greg Swan. Pratt said "Then go and get him."

If we replace Bailey, it cannot be any less than the best person. I don't care if is Todd Viney, Leigh Matthews, Malthouse, Roos, Hardwick, the Pope or Prince William. Just get the best. No more mediocrity especially not when appointing a coach.

Absolutely agreed....i would donate to a Coaches Fund to help that happen. I want to see my Club become a power again, and not just for 2 seasons.

We have dug deep once to save this Club, now we need to find the right Generals to run the FD.

Just Do it.

Todd is hard and what the club needs. He had a better fend off than Dustin Martin........

He knows the mediocrity and would absolutely hate our intensity at the footy

PLEASE GET TODD

bye bye Bailey

So true Maldonboy. Maybe we do need a Dick Pratt, maybe not. What we do need is an unflinching campaign to find THE BEST coach. I couldn't care less if it were to be Bailey (although I'm on record a million times since 1st qtr last night saying I don't think he is). JUST GET THE BEST.

Just because Todd had a better fend off than Dustin Martin doesn't mean he is the best coach going around. I am not saying he isn't, but I don't want them to make any quick, rash decisions. Aside from getting rid of Bailey that is :)

Matthews, Roos and Bomba. Next Malthouse, Sheedy, Worsfold, next Craig,,,,

I've been saying for 2 or 3 seasons that Worsfold and eagles were lying down. Harvesting the draft. I don't think people wanted to believe they were underperforming, but rather preferred to think they were just shyte. They Are Not.

What about Todd's ex boss at Hawthorn - Alistair Clarkson? Ex Melbourne player, still young and has the runs on the board!

    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,
