Dean Bailey to Adelaide

Featured Replies

 

good to see him get a gig at another club.

Also happy to see him get another gig soon after his sacking.

Has gone from assistant coach, to senior coach, back to assistant, but still think he has a lot to offer a club.

 

Happy for him to get a gig somewhere. But "strategy and innovation coach", good grief.

All a bit incestuous isn't it? Craig (Adelaide) to Melbourne; Bailey (Melbourne) to Adelaide.


He'll enjoy the chance to go back to winning premiership points in South Australia.

Yes I'm sure the Adelaide faithful will be thrilled at the appointment :unsure:

Good luck Dean, pleased to see him picked up nice bloke with a lot to offer a club in the right position.

 

All the best to him, glad to see he got a position quickly.

In fact all of our coaches get recycled in some shape or form.

Bailey at the Crows, Riley at Carlton, Daniher at WCE, Hutchison at the Tigers and Balme at the Cats. Northey got gigs after us and Barassi went to the Swans.

We must breed them well.. Either that or we pinch them after they've already matured, and then don't make the most of them.

Good luck to Bailey. Glad to see that his time with us didn't ruin any currency he had. Think he will bring some great attributes to the Crows.

You know you're going badly when even average staff don't want to go to your club and would rather go to SA.

Another epic FAIL for the Richmond Football Club. Great to see!!!! Much better off with the Crows. Good luck Bails!


Bails will be back at the MFC in a few years i reckon....as an assistant. Glad to see him get another gig to keep him in the system.

He did a lot of hard dirty work at this club, that hopefully Mark Neeld can take to the next level(s)

Good on you Bails. B)

Bailey was a terrible coach that Melbourne sacked.

He might be a great bloke, but I never want him at Melbourne again. I'm just hoping that Neeld can undo some of the damage that he has done.

You do not understand what went on during the years 2008-2010 do you.

The Job Bailey did was to the letter from the Board....Yes 2011 did not go to plan, but as a teacher of Raw kids, Bails did a fine job.

but as a teacher of Raw kids, Bails did a fine job?????????

I'd like to know who started the Bailey is a great teacher myth, because one thing that Bailey did show is that he is an extremely poor teacher of raw kids. The players that he had for four years are worse off for it.

Melbourne had a poor game plan, the skill level is not up to AFL standard, most players have not developed to expectations, only a few have actually exceeded expectations at this stage (Jamar, Frawley, Garland).

He was sacked because after four years the team is worse than when he took over. He was a very poor coach who could either not communicate his ideas, or had no idea how to coach, probably a combination of both.

He certainly did not do a “fine job”.


If there's one job I would not give Dean Bailey, it would be as an "Innovation Coach."

I hear this comment often but I can't see any proof of it

Any coach (or no coach) would have seen some development out of the list, esp as so many were top 20

I was unimpressed when Bailey got the job and I was unimpressed when he left the job

He might be a nice bloke etc but he was nothing but ordinary as a coach. No need to gild a lily

Just watch the 2 Collingwood games from 2010....Bailey did a great job, but with no FD to speak of he was unable to sustain it.

I am not saying he was perfect...But he did a tough job pretty well.

He struggled with the press, struggled to get kick-ins right after 4 years and played players out of position.

This is a love job for him.

Without a Football department Budget how could he compete with the press Week after Week?? The List was Raw and Young when he took it over.

I am just looking at how far back he was when he first took it on....this club was dressed in rags by the end of 2007.

After the Geelong Debacle DB's senior tenure was over, but i do not under estimate what he has prepared for our new Football Departments.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
