Will be between the following imo:

- Roos

- Malthouse

- Viney

- Sumich

If they go the last 2, good chance they may get a Rodney Eade as a director of coaching - a role he's happily take if he lost his job at the Dogs.

The club will be pursuing the first 2 intently, though my gut feel is they will end with with Suma - he has been very popular in the past, came very close to the Essendon job in the past, also the Port job. With the way the Eagles have gone this season, his credentials are only increasing.

Sounds left field and now not really possible, but i'd get a Phil Gould to the club if possible. He's be able to promote and reorganise the club in a professional manner - though he's just committed to the Penrith Panthers. His lack of AFL expertise wouldn't be an issue with the role he'd undertake.

Phil Gould makes Kevin Sheedy and Sam Newman look normal. No bigger moron in Australain Sport.

Probably won't happen but - how could anyone consider overlooking Malthouse?

Seriously.

I seem to recall people saying the same thing about Sheedy when he was in the running before we took Bailey.

Not just that, what on earth qualifies some of these posters to whittle the list down to just a handful of candidates?

They must have some amazing insight into the workings of the club, Bailey's performance in his role, and the capabilities of the last candidates standing.

Considering how thorough the process is that is used to select a head coach these days, I am dumbfounded someone could think they'd know what's best based on reading demonland and articles in the HeraldSun.

Artie, don't you know that talking sense isn't allowed on this forum as of late?

Take your intelligent and rational views elsewhere!

Left field alright !

He is NRL through and through.

I'm not sure how he would be able to promote and reorganise the club from NRL experience unlike anyone else in the AFL caper.

Strange call, don't even want to contemplate it type call. Fastest way for a board to go under type call.

Paul McNamee anyone ?

Ok Artie we get it, you support Bailey and everything he does.....

That's fine, your right, but please don't continually [censored] all over what is nothing more that a hypothetical conversation.

Many in here don't believe Bailey will or should be re-appointed, so a thread about a possible successor is not way out of left field.

We all have to cope with those that don't agree with us.

IF we got rid of Baily I would be furious if we went for an untried coach, for that matter I wouldn't be too impressed if we went for an experience coach who hadn't won a premiership.

My gut feeling says that we will turn this insipid form around with real afl players out there and a renewed confidence. Whether or not that'll be enough for Baily to keep his job.......

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    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

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
