Party line on contract.

Trotted out his 12, 13, 14 year line.

Now about this weekend - called it crucial.

They turned the heat up on LJ - suggested that if it was in Melbourne he'd be in strife, but DB replied with the fact that he has been criticised on the tape.

    I am not a big fan of DB but thought he handled himself well in this interview.

    I think the MFC have done a very good job of handling the TS situation today.

    Their relative abilities have gone up in my eyes today.

    Dean was good on AW ... once again went into bat for Tom.

    Everybody is sticking by him apart from the media (that ain't a story)

    He always handles himself well, speaks well, doesn't get drawn in to media driven agendas.

    I'm hoping that the teething problems with our performances are solely to do with a young and inexperienced list.

    I would like him to bear the fruits of his hard work and coach the players when they have 80 to 100 games on board.

    DD that is a long way off.

    In the next 8 weeks He will need to win 4 or there may not be a 2012 let alone 80 - 100 games.

    The AFL is a tough gig coaches outside the top 6 rarely survive more than 4 -5 years.

    When doesn't he handle himself well, OD?

    Of all the coaches, I think he's the best speaker. I don't think anyone else handles themselves as well as Dean does.

    Well I just look at what happened with Mark Thompson at Geelong, many we calling for his head before delivering two premierships.

    You could argue that Bailey has had a tougher year than last given the massive loss of experience (junior, bruce, miller) and a lengthy injury list to boot.

    How have other coaches fared with young and inexperienced lists??? Hird? Scott? Voss? Hardwick? McKenna? Have they been able to extract consistent performances from teams which are at the same stages of development?

    Right then. We should still have Neale Daniher, or Neil Balme, or John Northey.

    Good grief [Face Palm]

    Building a list from the ground up. Which of those coaches you mentioned have done what Thompson did, or what Bailey is trying to do?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
