Dean Bailey will unleash 4 or 5 Judds next season

With Dean Baileys guidance, I suspect that Petterd, Jones, Sylvia and Bate will all become as good as or better than Judd. Then you can add whoever we get with pick 5.

Dean Bailey is a great player developer, Port wouldnt have made the GF without his efforts.

I'm inclined to agree. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what he can make of Sylvia. The thing I like about Bailey so far is the impression that I'm getting, that he is not going to become bumchums with all the players, like Daniher was. That is crucial for coaching success.

Phew.. thanks for reminding me!

That player will be colin sylvia.

Sylvia will then escape any charges due to the fact that judd is a [censored] person.

Good to hear from you YM.

Today is about switching back onto the very positive path most of us shared pre-Judd. Great teams don't emanate from one player, they rise from a group with belief.

Dean Bailey has already proved to the club and it's supporters that he is a good communicator. Judd, I think, was obviously moved in a way he didn't expect upon meeting the man and found it a bit harder to cross us of the list than he thought it was going to.

So lets see our list under Bailey, lets see them develop in time. We're out there, stirring players like Judd and Messen into approaching us.

It's time to switch on to our potential. Consider for a moment amongst the sideshow that has been our last fortnight:

JONES, SYLVIA, BATE, NEWTON, DUNN, PETTARD, FRAWLEY and Mc LEAN under Bailey.

C'mon Dee's, switch on.

Good post.

It's hard to think back to when it was first announced Dean Bailey would be coaching us, before all this Judd business began.

But you're right - we have to get excited again about Bailey and about Chris Connolly and, adding to that list above players like Bartram and Rivers, about our current exciting list who will potentially thrive under a new coach and with a good pre-season will be able to compete with the elite, even with Judd and the Filth.

And besides, there's only room for TWO bald heroes at the club.. and that is Dean Bailey and the Jones boy. B)

RIVERS, BARTRAM obvious inclusions destroy, cheers. The fire in my belly has me giddy.

My sentiments apply to the whole list.

Bailey isn't going to put up with TJ like ND has in the past.

Miller may just find the focus he's been missing.

Yze reborn.

Whelan our linch pin.

Carroll our full-stop.

Davey with drive and consistancy.

Mc Donald to realise his full leadership potential.

Frawley, Bode, develop, develop, develop.

Bell has a hard nut mentor to grow from.

Green and Bruce to wake from the slumber and take their place as leaders.

Yze Magic,

Where do you buy those rose coloured glasses?

You must think Dean Bailey is a cross between Paul Roos, Mick Malthouse and Jesus Christ. Let's face it, even those three would be hard pressed to turn any of those players, particularly Sylvia, into half the player that Chris Judd is.

I'm as disappointed as anyone in Judd's decision, but let's not rationalise it with stupidity.

And also, we have pick 4, not 5.

YM, If I was your missus I would be worried, your ability to move on is unbelievable.

You are right though, I think DB will be a great developer of talent and the blokes you have mentioned have bucket loads, add also Newton and Dunn as having plenty of upside.

I am especially interested to see his impact on Sylvia, i always felt he needed closer and harder attention. He's taken some steps in 07 but to be frank he still hasn't lived up to his hype, i think McLean will have a much better year this year one way or another but Sylvia will be one to watch next year.

Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia..... Will be our best player. Get him fit, finally put him in midfield, he will bust through packs untouched. Kick long. Run forward and kick goal, he is going to be something very very special.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
