Do we get Scott Thompson back in the trade?

WYL, this is sentimental nonsense. As Thomo said, he was sacked. The relationship has been terminated - full stop. The parting might've amicable with hugs and pats on the back all round, but our in

Regardless of what sort of job he did, there is no doubt that Bailey was undermined from both within the MFC football executive and publicly through Jim's anointed successor in the football media. I

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
