Now that I've calmed down a little I can write with less emotion and not just bag everybody from the coach down to the boot studder.

Up until today I believed DB deserved to get another year's extension if we got to 10 1/2 wins. I didn't expect to beat the Hawks, Cats, Blues and Eagles but thought we would be competitive at least to within 10 goals for each of these games! But today has given me a reality check on a few things:

1. Bailey has an inability to develop and deliver a modern game plan.

2. Bailey has an inability to motivate players and inject aggression/hatred of losing into them.

3. Bailey has an inability or lacks the courage to make "big" moves when things go pear shape. He makes the same old moves to try and mitigate a loss but its too predictable and lacks impact.

4. Whilst we have all commended Bailey for his disciplined approach to selecting and playing young players and building a list the reality is that we are a long way from a premiership. If Scully goes we won't have an "A" grade midfielder on the list (or potential) and this coupled with no key forward we are kidding ourselves if we think a premiership is coming our way in 2014/15.

Let DB coach the year out but regardless of what happens now he is done and we need to move onto an experienced coach who can deliver the first 3 points raised above.

I know I am angry and disillusioned WYL

but how could it possible make us worse.

The buck stops some where and for mine it is

DB, CC and BG.

All i am saying OD is without a complete revamp of the football department, sacking just Bailey will serve no purpose at all.

Rodney Eade would be no better as an example.

How the hell did you calm down so quick

The players deliberately threw this game. They read the article in the Herald Sun today. Nuff said. Bailey must go!

Nope,

It's time for a change, now.

Dean Bailey cannot get anymore out of this list, we gave him a shot and he couldn't provide... We need to cut our losses.

Give the rest of the year to one of our assistants, and put it out there we want the best coach available. The club has an ok list and a decent coach with a different game plan will want a shot at the revival.

Its time. Thanks for trying Dean.

The players played as if they had no idea what to do, how to play. And they all can; no player is drafted these days who can't play (tho' they might not be up to AFL standard).

In my view they play as if "uncoached". Pretty much how Bailey started the 2008 season. For mine, little has changed; any improvement made has simply been the result of the low draft picks. Not through any coaching.

I sat through the whole game. Funny really. Saw it/this coming 4 yrs ago. (I joined this forum because I was outraged at the way the team played and was coached in early 2008, and i wanted somewhere to voice my opinion.)

Ed: Give Conolly or Viney temporary reins til the end of year. Then get the best available MM or Roos or 1st timer with serious mentor (Laidley or Craig). Quote in the press today: "We know Dean Bailey can coach," he said. "Is he a great coach? We don't know that yet........".

[censored]. Bailey cannot coach.

Is Moloney really sick (see SEN)or is he the thorn in Bailey's side? This team is better than an 180 point flogging, there is possibly a coup at the club amongst the players.

Why do you think there is a problem between Bailey and Moloney. What was said on SEN to make you think that there is a problem.

Bailey is Dead man walking. Imagine going into next season and losing by 50 points in game 1. I hope the men at the top realise he ain't working. He said he wants to coach on, So looks like he has to be sacked.

Thsi whole Bailey bashing might be waranteed but it was the players that were totally DISGUSTING today, sacking the coach is not going to instantly change the fact that the team is full of weak individuals

There in lies the real conundrum actually.. How did it fall apart on so many levels. It was a complete and utter debacle. How does that actually happen. No semblance of any real competitive spirit or direction, nothing. Its actaully quite bizarre..

There is far more to this than simply the shelacking we copped...much more.

Today's "performance" has nothing to do with judging those woeful attempts at humour.

On topic, I find it almost untenable for Bailey to continue coaching after today.

It would not be the first player mutiny in sports. Not that I am saying that is what happened.

There is no way that Brent Moloney can have had 0 touches without trying to do it. He is not that bad a player. I truly believe that he would like to see a change in the coaching staff, although he is never going to admit that publicly!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
