Bring back Dean Bailey

[Guest Gotzy15]

Weve taken an enormous step back. Players loved and respected DB! We were gradually progressing. We are at the crossroads. I want Bailey back as coach of MFC effective immediately.

From the bizarre to the ridiculous and back to the bizarre.

Everyone was thinking this. A comment needed to be said, gotzy15 only one who speaks his true mind. Here here.

186 points was such a sign of gradual progression.

I have no idea what Dean Bailey was doing at the Dees for 4 years but it certainly was not teaching the players the basics of modern footy and implementing a robust viable game plan. And it certainly was not working our players hard enough in the pre season to get them to the elite levels of fitness reached by players at the Pies and Saints. for example.

I was thinking that as I was watching the game today that we have actually gotten worse.

Our young players arent progressing and our experienced players (Green, Davey, Moloney) don't seem to care anymore.

maybe Gary Lyon should be banned from the next coach selection

At least I got a laugh out of this one, and I needed it. Thanks..

Yeah because being friends with the players worked. Remember his 1st two games he got thrashed as well and Id like to think in Neelds 3rd year he wont be getting beaten by a record margin such as geelong last year.

Lets not forget wc played off in a prelim last year. We are no where near finals and its going to suck big time but he has to get the players realisng its going to be hard work this year.

I wonder how he will be in his presser.

Holy hell. It's ok to be unhappy and frustrated. But really is the OP in this thread serious?

You are a muppet. You were calling for his head the whole of last year and early 2010. I remember.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

Neeld has inherited a basket case and a culture where players get a go whether they perform or not. rather than a few half-arsed bans for Blease and Sylvia to try and instill a different culture, Id cut loose if i was Neeld and tell a few players that they're future at the club is nonexistent - i dont wnat to hear more 'home truths' that lead no where. heads must roll.

i think the Bailey years are as far as I can see represent an unsuccessful rebuild, bad selections and the keeping of the wrong older players.

This isn't the Donvale Panthers.

There are contract and trading periods and things like that .

We cant just sack guys who have a bad game or 7 .

We have to develop them .

The Captains being 20 and 22 should tell you that we really are 3 or four years off .

I think it's good that you are expressing yourself .Let it all out .

[The Great One 99 125]

So crazy to speak of getting Bailey back. Especially when Neale Daniher is available.

[BIG JIM 508]

I think your right we were better then port and brisbane and richmond when dean was coaching now we are par with gold coast poor club might well break soon very sad. I think this is all B.P fault he ran because he could see what he did to our club after we had so much power to get the best kids but he failed very bad.Hate to say this but we really need to start again and its time to clean out again starting from the top. Mark neeld has shown nothing but talk since he got to the club with no results to back it up. What happen to MFC going for the best coach and one with some games under his belt. rodney eade maybe malthouse ross lyon if we had balls and got in quick right now we have no sponsers no stars no heart and nothing but cheap talk from weak ass players who are killing this great club. Time to start over with a new board and CEO mark neeld has lost me and the board and the CEO time to stand down we are a joke and stand for nothing when we should be building to finals right now but were not and it sucks for all us members who keep going and watching this club roll over like a club with no back bone. Sorry guys but you might hate me saying this but this is the worst i have seen this club in my life GOD HELP US and lets not waste our compo picks again. MFC is like the old fitzroy

You can tell them that they will be playing at Casey and have no part in the future direction of the club. Ive seen it happen many times.

Brilliant! The sad thing is I was actually thinking this during the week! lol.

I'm sure we would all take 3rd - 15th - 5th - 16th or whatever his record was right now!

Yeah, or maybe we could just hold off a little bit and give a bloke a bit more than 2 games to prove himself.

No, I never thought it. Bailey was never going to be a premiership coach and that was made very clear long before 186.

Neeld is changing the culture, the football department and the club as a whole. That takes time, especially when the list isn't all that it's hyped up to be.

Reaching a verdict after 2 rounds is so premature it's pathetic.

[demoniac 1,330]

I do miss the weekly farce of Paul Roos showing the vision and the stats to prove that we were defending from the defensive 50 and Bailey responding every week that defending from the defensive 50 was not our game plan.

I am sure the senior players would like Dean's leisurely pre season back too. How dare Neeld and Misson demand they work as hard the elite players do. I mean its fine for players at top 4 clubs to get fit enough to run up and down the ground as per the demands of 2012 footy but its a bit much for our senior lads.

Please don't.
