Should Bailey coach on Sunday?

Interesting one. Should Bailey coach Sunday, or should it depend on whether Riley wants to? If Riley is happy to, should it be Riley? Thoughts?

    Won't coach - despite the process he hasn't got a contract with us yet, and the mechanics of modern football is far more involved than him simply picking up the team sheet and walking into the box. I would think he'll be at the game though and any thoughts of our players maybe taking the foot of the accelerator to be dead and buried. I expect Robbo to kick about 8 goals. :mellow:

    No no.

    We must save Dean's magical coaching debut for 2008.. a brand spanking new season. *sigh*

    Would never happen in a million years

    But I would still love to see it

    Riley has already said he wants to stay on the with the Dees in 2008 asn an A/C. Don't let Dean coach the game, but have him in the box.

    no he shouldnt coach, but i bet he will be watching closely.

    The only problem is that we will most likely win because everyone will want impress the new coach, thus effecting our draft picks.

    He's been released from his duties at Port.

    I hope that means he can sit with the coaches and start reviewing not only the team, but the assistants in the box.

    Apart from Riley who we know will be there next year, there has to be a huge question mark about the likes of Paul Williams and so on.

    This is a golden opportunity for him to sit back and assess who and what he wants to change.

    No doubt Foxtel will find him if he is sitting in either the box or in the crowd, so we'll know on Sunday afternoon.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
