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.

Hey YM, might want to change your favourite player........

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)

Oh yep, my bad.

Sometimes forget that someone so young and fresh could also be so bald.

But if it makes him run faster, then we'll let it slide. :)

I'll fix that up.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
