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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
