I have not written on here for ages, but have been reading everyones thoughts still.

Anyway, according to SEN Dean Bailey will be on around 3pm to speak to the press. My understanding is that SEN will broadcast it.

So we all will finally hear from the mystery man!!!

    heard it on SEN, he sounds really good, smart, articulate and with a sense of humour, could be good. Someone asked him about Robbo but didn't hear what he said, did anyone hear it?

    Hard to hear as the feed wasn't great on SEN.

    Spoke a bit about development - said that apart from putting game time into players to give them experience, there is all the off-field stuff that you need to do to help them develop. The aim was to get blokes on the park who, while only having played 20 or so games, play like they have played 40 games because of their development.

    Draft - said that you always go for the best available player.

    Players - no mention of anyone specifically, obviously. Said there were players he'd like to put in different positions and give them different experiences. This will obviously be seen in the pre-season.

    Interview - apparently he posed some questions during the match simulation to the panel, which I guess would have been a different approach to some of the other candidates.

    Marketing - said he's happy to adopt that role. Primary focus will be on coaching and developing a winning list, but having been at Essendon and Port he knows the value of coaches that do their bit for the club on a marketing level.

    I thought he handled it well and sounded pretty impressive.

    Pathetically crap sound.

    Apart from Caroline wilson's lisping interjections enquiring about his private life, most of the (possibly) interesting stuff sounded underwater.

    What I got.

    1. He is an educating coach, he was asked if this meant MFC were rebuilding, couldnt hear answer!

    2. He is going to start Pre-season early, he believes a 10 game player can be as useful as a 100 gamer if lots of pre-season practise is employed.

    A lot of what was said was given a straight bat, not really opening up.

    If it wasnt for the bad sound and Carolyn Wilson's impersonation of Kath from Kath and Kim, asking stupid personal questions I may have got more.

    Very hard to hear I agree - I thought Carolyn's questions were Ok although she does try to take over and won't let anyone interupt her. I know virtually nothing about the bloke so it was nice to hear what his other interests are and that he is married with 2 kids. Likes a hit of golf and tennis and his boys both love footy. Sporting family and sport is his love.

    I liked his comment when asked about his sense of humour - he was asked if he would be able to keep it given the demands and pressures of an AFL coaching position. He said if it goes they all had to give him a call and let him know.

    I didn't hear the start of it, but from what I did hear, he sounds like a very level headed good bloke!

    Bring on '08

    I heard most of it pretty well.

    Was asked about Robbo, said he would have to sit down this week and talk to club people about current players and where they are at.

    Said he wanted to chat to Riley to see what he wanted to do.

    Said he wants to be a teaching coach.

    Draft best available player.

    Start pre-season asap.

    Is really happy to be at Melbourne.

    Didn't say they really needed to just re-build.

    Wants players in dif postions.

    Doesn't know of a major thing he must fix, more of a broad view at the list.

    On a personal note. Has a wife named Karen and two kids who both love footy.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

        • Haha
