I'd hardly call a 31 goal loss as plateauing......but I think I know what you meant :)

I would....there is no coming back from a loss that big...Bails would have known by saturday evening his tenure was up before anybody had even spoken.

Bailey would return in a few years in an assistant capacity if offered....He was very careful to not burn any of his bridges in public.

Fremantle on the other hand.....

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 cant contemplate even a half logical reason why a) he would be offered another role while any of the Board or senior executive are around. He lives with the 31 goal belting on his CV; and B) given he was treated so abysmally at the Club right up to the date of his sacking why he would accept any such role back at MFC.

His post sacking behaviour not make public criticism is a mark of character and a realisation that the AFL world is small. It was not done to grease a role back at MFC.

The comment bolded is typical of your statements that have no factual substance to them.

I have seldom seen such revisionism on demonland.

.....

The way he got rid of Jnr was an excellent example of his ability.

Yours a good example. I think you will find that the Jnr sacking had Schwab and Connolly's initials all over it.

History will show him to be an unsuccessful coach. Lets ensure he is critiqued for what was actually his accountabilities.

I serious doubt the board wanted him to produce a side that got done by 186 points after a number of high margin losses.

You have taken my comments out of context old Dee.

The reference was doing the Board's duty 2008 to 2010 where he clearly tanked games, played youth to give experience.

Big Statement there Rhino....a 31 Goal Defeat is what it is....Who said anything about grease except you...

IMO Bails may want to come back to work at the MFC in an assistant role due to "Unfinished Business"

I know i would.

Only a big statement to you WYL. The episodes of Lyon and Schwab either publicly criticising or failing to support the coach are on the public record. They also sacked Bailey over the phone and did not have the good courage or grace to tell him face to face. Astonishing, regardless of how he performed.

You made this statement "Bailey would return in a few years in an assistant capacity if offered....He was very careful to not burn any of his bridges in public."

I dont see the relevance of your highlighted comment other than to protect a future option at MFC. A bizarre objective at best in the circumstances.

Unfinished business?? Weird

He might be a flawed coach but he is not stupid.

Even a village idiot could work out that its well and truly over and he rightly turned his back to find better options.

I dont have to change your wording at all. I dont know why your typing in CAPS. Does it hide your embarrassment?

I would have thought his pride coupled with even the minimum level of common sense would have him not returning to MFC at any time in the future.

I am not sure what his "unfinished business" is? He will never lead that group of players at MFC. And he receives pizz all credit as an assistant if he wins the flag.

Its a weird point of view.

Lets be clear WYL. I have never accused you of making rock solid statements....quite the opposite. And you are right I do know best. I'll leave it you to work out whether a 31 goal loss is plateauing or a sharp descent. Classic stuff that.

It actually depends on the result the week after as to which it is Rhino...

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
