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!!!

I heard an interview with him a while back on the good oil (sen) and he spoke very well, was pretty funny and seemed very smart.

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!

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
