Tragic, just tragic - to go so young, I am just at a loss for words. RIP Dean

wow....so quick and so young (47)

rip dean, a really nice person. sympathy to family

Was a top bloke. Very very sad news

Agree.

That is a nice way to remember him, as a top bloke.

Condolences to his family and friends.

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

very sad.

Very very sad.

So young.

Would be happy to chat with anyone about football

Harshly treated by AFL

My condolences to the family

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.

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

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.

R.I.P Dean

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.

The Crows have a presser on their website starting now

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

Football is so insignificant in the greater scheme of things!

RIP Dean.

RIP very sad for his family .

Really saddened to hear this news. My condolences to all his family and friends. Much sadness and regret.

Shocking and very upsetting news.

Condolences to his family and friends.

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

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

RIP Bails

Terrible news. You have to feel for his family.

So shocked, only the good go young. RIP Bails

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.

RIP Bails
