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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
