Don't bother closing the door on your way out Deano, there should be a few more right behind you!

[Nasher 33,616]

Reading it on BigFooty doesn't count as mutterings.

Haven't heard it just from BF, wouldn't post it if I had.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

12 tonight please?

[Eth 4]

If what I heard on BF is true, then it isn't particularly the decision I wanted.

The Ox on SEN said Stynes was away on holiday so I dont think it will be anything major.

poor bastard I bet he wishes he had been recruited by Hawthorn 20 years ago.

We sure as hell do not deserve him.

Royal? You're kidding. I'll be throwing my membership out if that happens.

Royal and West come from a club that has won one flag in its history. No offence but I want someone to coach our club that understands winning and won't accept losing.

We may not have the cattle to win a flag but we surely aren't this bad, are we?

[Demon SeaMan 108]

Stuff it. It's a cop out if we just sake Baileynwithout true understanding of other factors. It's a way for the board to throw away the truth in my opinion. Let Em all ride it out. what's an incumbent going to do now. [censored] it. Let Em wallow in it, it will make Em stronger in the long run

Robbie the silence is still deafing!

The result is on the board.

The only answer is YES.

Sorry DSM I do not agree.

That is what is wrong with our club.

A great Hawk once said ( or close to it )

Don't think, Act do something

I would add Anything

Bailey should be gone by tuesday IMO....Green to be dropped to casey...as a start.

But what would we know Old Dee we are to old for the modern game we don't have a proper grasp of KPI's and the other [censored] they o on about. We tried to tell them that all was not well but they kept on telling us we had 2% more contested possessions than at the same time last year so all was ok. i don't care about statistics only about how we play and today was the culmination of the lack of leadership, lack of coaching and ideas and lack of talent we have at the club; we can kid ourselves for as long as we want but the truth is we have recruited extremely badly.

I reckon we would have done better if we had the recruiters follow the Phantom Drafts on BigFooty they did a much better job than we did.

It is very interesting what is being said about Brian Royal. When he was appointed I expressed my concerns with him being a backline coach. Result being I was right royally attacked by idiots that post on this site. Well I can say today I was well and truly vindicated by my concerns. Today did we have a backline?

Dean Bailey should go now with the rest to follow at the end of the season. The only one I would keep is Todd Viney.

What I do not understand is that "Jack Hill the blind coal miner from Wonthaggi" could see that Bailey was not getting anywhere with players all year. Yes we won games against lower sides but when it counted the players went off the boil. The fact we played like girls (today for example, except for Jordie McKenzie) is probably the biggest indicator that Bailey had lost the players.

In fact the whole FOOTBALL DEPARTMENT should have the blow touch applied to every position.

The only way the members can get positive change is by letting the club know how we feel. Today we went backwards so far that we should be sent to the VFL reserves level.

If the board is fair dinkum they should call a crisis meeting and make the ruthlessly hard decisions.

I have been a Melbourne person since the 1950's and it feels as though a bit of me died today. We should not just rollover and accept this sort of rubbish. A look at history should tell us that we have been there before and we have come back and won premierships.

Many a time, in so many different circumstances, has a deep and entrenched problem caused a change at the top, or some seemingly major reform, only to later discover that the actual problem was never truly beaten and it all has to be done again.

About every four years, at Richmond.

We need to see a committment from the club to a major overhaul of the footy department. An all-out effort to get the top available people into a number of relevant positions, and to accept that even 'nice guys' doing an 'ok job' will have to make way for that.

It must be the next 'grand step' in this magical Red&Blueprint - a major, major investment in football department. And not in numbers so much as quality people. Best in the business or why bother?

[praha 11,240]

They'll sack him. He's gone. It's 186 points people.

One hundred. And EIGHTY SIX!

I agree. It's the same with any business. Quality people are everything.
