Bailey and Connolly

Reported on SEN today.

Gardiner stated that Bailey and Connolly went out for dinner last night by themselves to discuss if it could work between them.

It was a private thing that Bailey did on his own. The club didn't have anything to do with it, they were both just really keen on having a discussion about the possibillity of Connolly being Football Operations Manager.

This is something I am really hoping will happen.

    if nothing else it shows that Bailey wants 'things' to happen.. and no time like the present.. Talk about hitting the ground running :)

    Im neither this way nor that with Connolly being footy manager.. but given the interest in him around to do this role his must have some ability.

    I just really like the can do approach of this bloke

    If this is true he is really starting to impress me.

    It is very true. Gardiner was on the Morning Glory this morning on SEN.

    Then Matt Thompson played it again during The Good Oil on the Sports update at 2.

    Guess I was just lucky to hear on the way to work. And at lunch.

    I found it very very impressive.

    Paul Gardiner!!!!!!

    He knew it was happening because Bailey told him. Didn't set it up or knew in advance.

    pretty pumped that bailey is showing this sort of initiative...hope it comes to something, but even if not at least we know he is keen and ready to hit it hard at first.

    just listened to an interview on sport 927 with gardiner... it was meant to be about connolly's appointment, but covered more about the process that saw bailey appointed... mentioned he showed a number of video clips of melbourne players, where he analysed them... for example how many steps some of our midfielders took when they had the ball, how many steps midfielders should take when they're in posession, and how to fix it...

    just an example of his approach as a coach, sounds very impressive...

    • 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?
