Very sad news. A shock really that he went so soon. Much sympathy to his family.

This has knocked me for a loop. So sad.

I had a long chat to Bails when he rang for my daughter on one of the membership drives. After 15 minutes or so covering a range of topics including kids, schools, growing up in the eastern suburbs and eventually footy I said “shouldn’t I be letting you go ? Don’t you have to make a lot more calls ?”

“Nah mate, it’s ok. I’m always happy to talk about footy”. So on we went for another 10 minutes or so.

Just seemed like a ripping bloke. As WYL said, I’d have loved to have knocked over a couple of jugs with him

RIP Bails

RIP Dean, very sad news.

Never met him personally but a good mate that knew him socially told me he was a really good bloke. Sure seemed that way from the outside looking in.

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

Just a very good bloke. Fate has a habit of dealing bad hands to good people. RIP Dean. Thoughts go out to the family.

[M_9 2,178]

I always have thought to myself, that in spite of the results and aftermath of his time at the club, if I were to bump into him I'd still make sure I shook his hand and thanked him for his time there.

I'm saddened that I'll never get that chance.

I felt exactly the same. Just a quality bloke with a wry sense of humour. R.I.P Bails.

Taken well before time.

Condolences to his family and friends.

He will not be forgotten.

You'll never meet anyone who won't describe Bails as a great bloke, including people that never met him, that's just how much he was liked.

Sad for football, and a tragedy for the world to lose another fantastic person.

[Satyriconhome 10,880]

The Crows have a presser on their website starting now

[Deeoldfart 8,168]

It's a cruel world ....... a good man taken way too early.

Football is so insignificant in the greater scheme of things!

RIP Dean.

So sad. Bailey always seemed to have a twinkle in his eye even at the hardest times.

[Pennant St Dee 13,415]

Was absolutely shocked when I heard it on the radio this morning.

Really sad news, he was an absolute gent and the game has lost a man of high integrity

Thoughts and prayers are with Dean's family

Very sad news, another good person taken way too early by this terrible disease. He was always a positive person and no doubt loved by a lot of the players.
