Some people here should give it a break. Whatever one might think about his coaching, Dean Bailey gave his all for the club and put its interests over and above his own. He has a lot more class than s

Irrespective of his results whilst at our club Dean Bailey always struck me as a stand up guy. I hope that remains so.

Bailey's lawyer expressed concerns about how the interrogation was conducted. Denied he coached to lose and played younger players after the club could not reach the 8. He will fight any charges

Bodes well for the club

Sorry another tanking thread, Mods merge if you think

Yes, we definitely need yet another thread to be started on this topic...I saw the Bailey item on Ch7 news, but nothing worth discussing here in a new thread. Suggest you visit the AFL investigation thread that already exists.

The trick is to avoid the 'breaking news' thread from becoming a new place to post on the topic (or even to stop it becoming a place to post opinions about thread management...)

Leading the ch.7 Sport Report was the story that Bails' lawyer said that DB denies all Afl allegations of changing his coaching style mid season admitting only to playing more kids as our finals chances disappeared.

It's worth a new thread to get this news out there, it is not more of the same because we haven't heard from Bailey about this issue since he left the club.

I would say this is pretty significant news.

The thread can be merged later when it drifts down the same path.

He was asked a Question at the Press Conference...He answered fairly.

If he had said nothing it would have looked worse.

I think he's more likely got his own hide in mind, and fair enough.

I am sure he has, but i don't think he is going to take the club down.

Not his style.

Maybe they should have let him see the season out then... sacked 3 or 4 games out isn't pretty. Loyalty,,,,, 2 way street. management, thats another matter.

Dean Bailey is not at all worried about the MFC in all of this. DB is worried only about DB.

Stand up guy? Losing power player more like.

He did what was best for the club and his career suffered because of it.

In his final presser he said he put the club in the best position for draft picks.

That isn't revelatory or damning - it is what teams do in losing seasons in a draft regulated sport.

The sooner the wider football media realise this and get the pole out of their collective rectums the happier the partners of these losers would be at home while having to listen to their inane prattle.

I was alway [censored] off that he sat on his own at that press conference myself, considering all that had gone on.

I thought that was a pretty poor day from the MFC

Dean could have gone to town, but he didn't.

Fair enough he has denied "Tanking"

So what do they expect from CC & CS

I would assume much the same. If we can't make the finals then play youth to see what they have.

I disagree. He could have answered a 100 different ways.

He put not only the club in jeopardy but himself

not smart

I would much rather read this short new thread if that's ok with you. Bailey's latest comments and that of his lawyer are certainly relevant and well worth discussing.

He told the truth.

???

sometimes you can be so naive wyl

so some assassins from the media ask you a loaded question and you have to tell the truth, FFS

he didn't have to lie but he didn't need to throw petrol on the fire

as i said it wasn't smart for his future quite apart from the club

i do agree the club could have handled the departure much better

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

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
