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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
