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."

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
