It mightn't mean much to Dean but in the end, he still has a career at AFL level and Cuddles and CS will never be employed in this industry ever again. I reckon we should have backed all employees (Cuddles included) better in the tanking farce but as far as the Schwab/Connolly vs Bailey imboglio goes, I am more pro Bailey than anti.

I often wonder CBF what would have happened if we had given Bailey some support at the press conference on that fateful day.

If Jimmy or DM had been there with him in front of MFC logo's etc would he have made the tanking comments.

Or if it had been CS instead of him would we be where we are today?

The way bailey press confrence was handled was quite disgraceful. Compare it to the way how Neeld was handled it summed up our leadership back then.

Poor Dean, I do feel for him. Comes across as a good bloke and seemingly did a pretty honorable thing by the club.

I hope he finds success in the near future.

He paid a heavy price for the incompetance of others. There is at least some restitution in that he's still got a worthy job in the game and the real culprits are thankfully gone for good. No one is going to hold his penalty against him.

Forget the tanking, I don't want to hear about that ever again, I'm just waiting for him to tip a bucket on everyone about 186.

It was his press conference that raised the spectre. If he has kept his trap shut we wouldn't have had to deal with it.

welcome back Bails

We all know that loser Cameron Schnwab forced you to do what you did or you would lose your job

You are a good man, and i hope you realise that MFC supporters hold nothing against you

Dean's efforts and commitment were first rate. He'd have every right to feel peeved about the circumstances that he found himself in and the way he was treated. I wish him all the very best for the future.

Great idea! Let's bring up the tanking saga again..

*shakes head*

No lets hear what went on behind closed doors in years to come.

We all lost a lot out of this. If you do not wish to know fine.

He was somewhat hung out to dry wasnt he.

Others get nice payouts, whilst the coach got paid out ON..

everyone was in this surely/

If we had treated him with a little respect it may never have happened jnr.

The team bailey had going could really push the top sides. And to think under bailey we were far better developed then Richmond and now look where they are heading. Finals..

Besides 2 games against Collingwood we really did struggle against better sides. But at least when we were good against bad sides we were very good!

We were certainly ahead of Richmond but like some Richmond sides (under Frawley, for a year under Wallace even) the base of our team was built on a fraud.

We might be bad now but at least some of our players give their all week in week out in Frawley, Garland, Jones, Dawes, Grimes. Back in 2010/2011 when we were on for the day it was because Davey and Moloney were having good days in the midfield and Jurrah and Green were beating some C grade defender who was either too slow or too short for them.

Sure, don't disagree he was treated badly. But anyone with half a brain would realise you can't allude to tanking and think nothing will happen..

Why? Others did and got diddly squat. Ah, I forgot, they were just engaging in "list management".

Yes 2011 will probably be written up in training manuals as how not to run a football club.

We do hold some unique records.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
