I really do like the way Bailey takes the conversation so that rather than feeding the journos by offering up speculation, he deals with the mundane aspects regarding the number of turtles and fish caught :-)

What does turtle taste like anyway?

    I fail to see how these comments relate to the subject at hand.

    Really disappointing post for mine.

    I feel the club have handled the situations with great compassion, class and dignity.

    Too bad some supporters do not exhibit the same qualities.

    agree

    old dee that is fairly ordinary posting

    second time today from our so-called supporters i have seen a real shocker

    OD has been a bit depressed lately...

    And from that particluar post - I fail to see how us saying "Wonna we are going to cut you and move on" is showing the kind of ruthlessness that builds clubs and wins flags.

    He has lost his dad and is from the other end of this great land.

    Have a heart and realise that every situation is different - hard and fast rules just leave you bruised and battered.

    The club knows that there's no point trying to force him to stay or come back early, while he's in a stressed state and still grieving. When he's feeling strong again he'll return better than ever. I think the MFC should be congratulated for the way they've handled this situation, and hopefully he'll come back soon.

    Dean has a great sense of humour, he is one of us now, red & blue thru & thru.

    PS Best of luck ozzy.

    Coach Dean Bailey, who worked closely with Wonaeamirri and even invited him to live at his family home in an attempt to help him through his problems, said he didn't know exactly when he would return but was buoyed by his improved mindset.

    "He caught two turtles and I think it was about 12 or 13 fish yesterday," he said on Friday, when asked for an update on the 31-game player's progress.

    "He's having a good time. We'll see him back soon.

    "I can't give you a definite date. All I know he said the two turtles were good and the 12 fish he was a bit disappointed in.

    "His whole aspect to go back was to reconnect with his culture and we've given him the time to do it.

    "He's going to be an important player for us going forward."

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
