I see his hair has grown back since he left the Dees!

Seriously when he was at the Dees I couldn't stand to listen to him dribble on, when he speaks its like he is selling me a car.

U notice the BIG difference in the way Roos speaks, he sells hope without selling.

Actually Bailey was a much more better speaker then Neeld.

He was very cringworthy..!

He was but both of them drove me nuts.

Do we really know how good or bad Bails was? In 2010 we looked to be headed in the right direction and he was coaching with next to no resources and had clowns doing the recruiting. The wheels fell off the next year and since we have come to understand the full extent of the dysfunctionalty of those above him. He took the fall with grace, the others have all since been given the kybosch. I suspect that he is competent enough to fill the role at EFC.

this is OK for a year but who keeps Hird away from the backseats in the Coaches box on matchdays?

I believe Hird is not allowed contact with any club staff or players etc, or allowed to be at the club. This may be hard to police to since extent and I'm not sure what the AFLs stance on social contact is!

To be honest I'd think it would be to hard to try and be involved in coaching without being allowed around the place. Any involvement would just be a pain for everyone. Might be a lot of emails from [email protected] to [email protected] next year.

I was surprised he was allowed to be at Essendon games or that he would be allowed to work in footy ie commentating.

Like the email addresses but its not up to the AFL if he works in the media. Any such action by the AFL would invoke a restraint of trade case. And we know how much the AFL likes going to Court.

You're probably right, but as punishment for 'bringing the game into disrepute' surely they could ban him from attending any AFL matches as well as banning him from coaching? (Same as they can ban fans who behave inappropriately) Could work in the media, but not attend games to comment etc.

Heffernan was an okay player, didn't have an issue with him

Lacked a sense of urgency when he played with us. Not sure he was really interested at all, going through the motions I thought and gee we could have used a real goer in those years when we were actually competitive.

Back to Bailey.....

The article quotes:

"AFL.com.au understands the club has discussed Bailey as an option to fill the role of suspended senior coach James Hird.

It is unclear if Bailey, an assistant coach at Adelaide, will interview for the role now that the club's formal process to appoint a replacement has begun. "

He's not even an applicant. Pure dream world stuff. Not worthy of a topic on this forum. FFS

Who the hell would want to take that job when they have to make way in 12 months for that pathetic loser James Hird

Alhough i reckon theres about a 5% chance Hird ever comes back to the AFL in any way

Pretty sure Hird will never coach again. ASADA and further complications will end his career.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
