What does everyone think? Does Bailey keep him on or does he move on? Is he worth keeping?

In all honesty, no, I don't think he should stay on. I think the club needs to move as far away from the Daniher era as possible and begin fresh and I think Bailey will be thinking the same.

He's actually contracted for next year I believe.

I think he'll stay. The rumours out there suggest he has already agreed to, but I don't know how much weight to put in that. IMO there is plenty of benefit to keeping at least one of the previous coach's assistants on so there are faces around that have plenty of player and club knowledge to share.

I like Riley and I hope he stays.

He was interviewed on SEN and said he loved living in Melbourne and loved being a part of our footy club. He said he wants to stay involved in footy and would be happy to stay with the Demons.

Quoted on the MFC and Realfooty website's as saying he's happy to stay. Whether that lasts through October, who knows?

FWIW, the senior coaches he has been assistant to have been pretty forthright in their praise.

Wouldn't a lot of this depend not on Riley, but on who Bailey wants to appoint to his team?

If he wants to put a broom through the entire current coaching team, Riley included, then isn't it his right to do so?

I think it is on one of the official club threads that he is staying next year as an assistant.

he's contracted and the only reason he didn't get the job is because he hadn't played topline football, Bailey might want to pick his own team

That's a bit rich. Why do you think Riley would have necessarily been better than Bailey? Bailey has had more success as an assistant (premierships with Essendon and Port iirc)?

I would like him to stay atleast one more year, just so the bald badger can have some one with some inside knowledge of the club.

With AFL the way it is, Bailey can watch every Dees game, and I imagine he has some idea of many of the players. It might help when it comes to delistings etc, but I think it could be just as beneficial for Bailey to make up his own mind re: their personality and ethic over the preseason.

If they're on the list for 2008, it doesn't matter what's gone before - just what happens from here on in.

I would expect that Bailey has already told the club who he wants as his support staff. I think Riley will stay but nothing has been said about Curren & Williams.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
