Bailey throwing a few barbs back at us


Guest Voice of the Common Fan

Recommended Posts

Thats Not throwing Darts.

Bailey would want MFC to grow & overcome our own issues to achieve success.

IMO our Major collective weakness is our total inability to be self introspective. http://en.wikipedia....i/Introspection

We keep looking at people trying to help us by telling us hometruths only to turn around and accuse them of being nasty. Very few AFL people are like this. Don't misunderstand honesty for being Vindictive.

We need as a club, to become Less Precious & Defensive.

I know what you mean, it certainly doesn't help if you tell a few home truths on this board.

That's correct if you can't understand that there are problems then you can't solve them. If you keep saying that we'll be ok in just one more year or just one more pre season then you'll miss the fact that you don't have the players capable of taking the next step. Giving the Players and the Club excuses and not grasping the reality of the situation is just papering over the cracks.

This post needs more cliches.

Would surprise me if DB was aiming comments at us. Would be immensely out of character.

I found the drinking comments of interest however.

The drinking comments just prove that Scully will never truly fit into any football environment and thinks he's a bit above anyone else. I don't drink and haven't for 13 years due to health issues but I certainly do not begrudge anyone else drinking. What DB said on SEN is that Scully does begrudge people who drink so he will always be an outsider.

Has young Tom joined Hillsong in Sydney's north west yet? Perhaps this was the non-monetary factor in his decision to head north?

I expect Sheeeeds will love his boys singing hymns before and after each practice session. Just the culture Sheeeeeds would be seeking to introduce at GWS.

I think a big factor would be the fact Choco (the real coach of GWS) is also a teetotaller.

I just wonder how Scully will cope when he realises the kids at GWS won't be as single-minded in their pursuit of football success either.

I heard the interview and it made me want to support another club. he was SO convincing (NOT)

It seems that skullduggery is the only innocent, upstanding person of integrity in this sad play

Bailey some how shifted all suspicion of beytrayal to any and all associated with the club and absolved Tom Thumb of any deception.

A person of quality and integrity he said of the small outside knee buggered mercenary

Tommy never even thought of the GWS shift until the Sunday morning stroll over the harbour bridge which resulted in a serendipitous meeting with GRUBBY and the Martian

Give ma a break. Bailey is an expert at lobbing hand grenades a snide and clever fellow, a Shite coach.

There is a huge difference to listening to, and inderstanding what is being said

He was lobbing grenade after grenade at the MFC

Simon and Garfunkel expressed it beautifully in their seminal "Sounds Of Silence"

The Sound of Silence?

I understand, I don't comprehend.

Bailey on SEN prematch talking about MFC and the appointment of Neeld.

An absolute class act.

He may not have been the best coach, but I will always have admiration for that man.

Top bloke.

Only remember vaguely.

He said he wishes him all the best and thinks he'll be a successful coach at Melbourne.

Anthony Hudson asked Bailey, now that he was outside the club and having seen the way we finished the season, whether he had reassessed our list and it's potential going forward.

Bailey said not at all, and that he thinks we'll be successful.

Can't remember too much more right now.

I'm sure there'll be a podcast somewhere.

Bailey always impressed me in the way he spoke, I think he's just an honest person and I reckon most people would've felt the unrest towards the end of the season gave Scully more of a reason to go, but note the paper that ran with it: the herald sun. They love a "headline" line, Dean provided that when asked a question and answered it quite simply.

I don't see this as Bailey throwing things back at us, I see it as Bailey being Bailey.

If he was lobbing grenades he forgot to pull the pins out. I heard/comprehended/understood something completely different from you obviously.

Touché and I am also completely of this opinion.

His comment saying he'd take to the grave his lost opportunity with such a good young group of boys really reminded me what a great guy Deam was.

I really wish he was the guy to lead us to a premiership!

Bailey lobbing grenades ?? Bailey throwing barbs??

You idiots

Bailey backs Neeld

If only many of you really believed in this club half as much as Dean still seems to.

Good luck Dean, ya welcome back anytime.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
