Bailey has said he 'takes the blame' for yesterday's debacle but won't stand down.

Should the club force him to tomorrow and put Todd in there to coach the boys for the remaining five games?

My feeling is that this marriage is officially over and Dean needs to go.

Pure logic suggests that DeanBailey MUST go NOW. All season the team has shown a COMPLETE inablility to resist any kind of competitive pressure from the opposition, and this kind of result was just waiting to happen. Sadly, Dean Bailey has had 19 games to address this lack of defensive ability and competitive resistance, with what can only be seen as worsening effect. In the press conference he offered nothing new. Why would we imagine he could invest the players with that ability now. This season can only be seen as destructive to the MFC, and it is due to the onfield performance. He is the organiser of that on-field performance, and must be accountable.

He simply must finish his tenure as coach. NOW. Anything less just defies reason.

This is not personal, it is merely sensible.

Not a Bailey fan, think he will be gone soon enough. But it won't fix everything. Will Green show heart under a new coach? Will we still give up when it gets to hard? Will players still miss 20m targets by 10 metres like nicholson in the first?

Not only should Bailey go tomorrow, Green should be stripped of the captaincy and sent to Casey as a statement.

I don't want Todd to be caretaker coach. Of all our current coaching panel, Todd is the one I'd most like to see retained by the club for 2012. A new coach in 2012 would be unlikely to retain the caretaker, correct me of I'm wrong but I can't remember it happening.

If Bailey does go this week it's probably better to give it to Cuddles or Royal, someone you can afford to lose. I don't think Mahoney, West or Williams are ready to even be caretakers.

Tend to agree, but anyone will do. It is not a coaches responsibility anymore. Only the players can repair the damage. Its up to them to restore pride back into the club for the remainder of the season.

Before he goes he needs to apologise to the supporters for what has happened to our team under his coaching strategy.

Mate you are dreaming or on something really strong.

He's not dreaming about making the finals but he is about doing so under Bailey.

We can salvage something out of the season with a new coach and the reinvigoration that a change can bring.

However, I would not guarantee Viney the coaching gig beyond 2011 at this point in time. There needs to be an extensive process by which the next coach is to be selected.

There's also the situation of Viney potentially coaching his son. I'm not sure if that's healthy.

Norm Smith coached his son (Ron Barassi) and it resulted in Melbourne's greatest era.

We did this the last time, and got Bailey, for gods sake. Word was that Hardwick missed out because his presentation went poorly. FFS.

Let the board set the following criteria:

a) have been an A grader with a long playing history at AFL level

b.) have been a hard, uncompromising player

c) have premiership experience (as coach or player)

Then see who's available. Interview them if they want, but get over the presentations. (Brings back memories of our PowerPoint presentation to Warnock.)

We can still play finals this year so he'll keep his job for now.

I reckon give Viney the rest of this year and next year then get Malthouse. If we could get Malthouse now, do it.

Malthouse is busy now ,

A suggestion on SEN was to appoint Dean Laidley and have Mick Malthouse join him in 12 months time.

There is something seriously wrong at the MFC, action must be taken. The whole club from the top down must be held to account and put on notice! I was a huge fan of keeping Bailey, but it's really hard for even me, to see how he can come back from this....Bye Bailey, Thanks for the high draft picks...

I'm glad I was at Geelong yesterday. To see a half of the Casey debacle and then see the main event debacle in person was an experience that will remain etched in my memory for the rest of my life (which will be shorter than my life so far!). Take no credit away from Geelong - they were awesome for the whole game and did not let up when other teams would have relaxed.

That said, Viney must replace Bailey immediately, but only for the rest of the year - we must go outside MFC for 2012 and beyond. Viney can return to his current role in 2012, and MFC will have a new coach. It doesn't have to be an experienced coach, in fact there are good arguments for a current well-credentialled assistant - given Geelong's recent few years, Brenton Sanderson would appear to have a lot to offer, for example. He would certainly know what he was taking on after yesterday!

The bottom line is yesterday was unforgiveable, should never have happened, and MFC should never allow it to happen again - this should be ingrained in the future culture of all aspects of MFC. The Bailey era should be consigned to history and only ever looked at again as an example of what NOT to do!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
