Dean Bailey Diagnosed With Cancer

sorry mate, you are not entirely correct there, there is no evidence of stress being 'directly' linked to cancer, but stress does cause people to smoke or generally be unhealthy that could cause cancer, but either way, it's terrible news for Bails and his family. the Demon family should all show our support for the man.

Google "stress and cancer" and read plenty.

 

And Genetics, diet, behaviour and environment don't?

Of course they do.

I'm not trying to be clever or stupid chook.

 

Only demonland could turn a get well thread in to an argument.

Not my intention.

I wish him all the best and won't debate further.

I must say McQueen it is the first thing that popped into my head also... not just the tanking saga but just being under heaps of pressure when coaching us, everyone on his back, getting smashed, ultimately 186 and shown the door.. can't be good for anyone's health. Bloody awful news, all the best to him.


It is pointless to speculate about what might have caused any one cancer. Plenty of people who have never smoked for example, develop cancers associated with smoking.

We all wish Bails the best for his recovery. Let's just hope for that.

Shocking news, best wishes for a speedy recovery Dean.

All the best to him and his family.

I've said it before, but junction oval needs to be investigated, the amount of mfc associated staff diagnosed with cancer seems, to me, abnormally high.

 

What? Cancer is directly related to stress.

The tanking saga reignited by Anderson would've played a huge part on his condition.

I wish him all the very best and hope he is able to fight this thing into remission and beyond.

Rubbish news. Love Bails as a bloke.

Has a family, hopefully he gets through.

Why don't we just let this thread be a best wishes thread.

Get well Bails.

Agree 100%. No pontificating and no arguing.

Praying you win your fight Bails. All the best for you and your family.

Very bad news for Dean and his family.

All the best from all true Demon fans, in fact all true humans.

Get well mate.

Why don't we just let this thread be a best wishes thread.

Get well Bails.

Agree.

All the best Dean.

Google "stress and cancer" and read plenty.

good old google, not going to get in an argument on a thread about this terrible news, i work as a specialist in cancer, and the one of the most important things is to have a positive mindset and Bails seems like that kind of a man, i put my money on him to beat it.


Very sad to hear! This bloke has really been through it the past few years. He doesn't deserve this on top! Sure hope he makes a speedy and full recovery!

No offence Pal, but in an anonymous forum like this I'll take Googles credentials over yours.


Horrible news. Tough bloke who will get through it.

Couldn't help yourself McQueen, I get it, ,.............. good luck Bails.

hope the treatment goes well bails and you beat it

we'll be rooting for you

you'll always be one of us

All the best Bails!!!!!!!!

This guy could actually coach and had us borderline finals 8 team leading into the 186 disaster

Then Schwab and all the closed door factions bickering went up a gear and it went pear shaped

I like Dean Bailey!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
