4th season in- playing as badly as we were at the start of Bailey's reign. Surely something's got to give?

Yes its the worst quarter I have seen. Very [censored] off. Expected a 10 goal loss but this is horrible to watch

Pathetic yet again geez I'm finding it tough to keep my kids as dees supporters lost one already the 2nd is nearly gone and the third is 18 months old

If Bailey is still there next year I won't be and many other members will be the same, we continually churn out rubbish against anyone in the top 12 on the ladder.

I've had enough of this hack. One has to seriously question the board and the whole bloody footy department for letting this run for way too long. We have gone so far backwards compared to last year, with a better draw this year as well. Our senior leaders are useless, our captain hasn't got a clue how to lead (Junior must be laughing his arse off) and our coach, coaches rather, are being paid hundreds of thousands of $'s to do a job that a 2-year old would be better at.

As bad as it may sound, the only positive out of today would be for us to be beaten so badly, that Bailey has no choice but to resign. Maybe without a coach, our young kids will use their natural talent and play a basic game. Maybe a get ball-kick ball style. It is called football for a reason.

Bailey along with the 'senior players' are an embarrassment on the Dees of 2008.


As Allan jeans says footy is a simple game, don't complicate it. How about when the ball is coming into 50 stand next to your man.

As the Italian tenor and the English soprano said

Time To Say Goodbye

I don't have to elaborate

Yes.

I am starting to think that Bailey needs to go purely to provide some refreshment. There is no positivity around DB.

 

Come on guys. He's trying his best

I'm switching to TVN to watch Caulfield


The margin record may not just be beaten today but absolutely smashed. This is the game that seals Bailey's fate for mine.

I'm just in shock. I know we have been bad, I know we're young, but this is disgraceful. I have never seen such a pathetic effort from a Melbourne team, there is absolutely no leadership out there.

Worst Bailey match by far.

I'd be very surprised if he's coaching next week.

Better bloody not be....

Dean Bailey has proved this year that he can't walk the walk. Blown away in every single game against top 8 clubs and has been unable to stop the bleeding on every occasion.

Can't coach, full stop!

Under Bailey? Truthfully, I have never seen a team perform worse than we are today. Regardless of coach.

Meh! Do we really care anymore, we are crap we have gone backwards at will continue to do so under Bailey, however lets not forget how insipid the players look to no heart no drive, I would expect an all in in any league of football the way Chapman treated Dunn, but what do we get everyone stands back and does'nt get involved something is really rotten down Melbourne way...Nobody should feel safe come trade week after this display nobody.

Goodbye Dean and take your coaching mob with you. Its nearly half time and we are down nearly 100 points!!! I have never been so ashamed to be a Demon fan, Its now 102 pts down. This is so dreadful.

We are once again the laughing stock of the competition!!!

We've had the pick of the young talent for some 4 years and this is the best or worst we can do?, now 108 points down. This is going to be our worst loss in our history!!

Please leave us Bailey and give a chance to move on!!

Its now going to 114 points down, and I am very down.

Siren!1 Bloody hell!!! AAARRHHHHHH


I have followed the MFC for over 40yrs & toady Im ashamed/emabarased to be a member! Even the dark days of the 70s & eraly 80s were not this bad!

Bailey please go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just read the article in the HUN I think it is quite good.

Covers the issues well.

Interesting times are ahead.

care to revisit this one Old ?? ;)

The most disturbing thing from the coaching point of view is just how badly Bailey has [censored] up our match-ups in defence. Watts is a forward- ffs, put the kid in the forward line. Send Green back instead- it's about time the bloke showed some leadership. Jurrah on the wing- WTF? Garland on Johnson- WTF?

 

Its the worst we've been under anybody absolutely anybody!!

Clear out all coaching staff because seeing this is proof positive that they are all hopeless !!

Its not just the defence match ups he has stuffed up.

It is time to start a new football department starting with sacking Bailey today

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
