Dean Bailey quotes from the B + F

"To the players who are in the room, I put this challenge to them," Bailey said. "In 30 days' time, pre-season starts. The reality is that it actually starts tomorrow.

"It has been four to five weeks off now. The greatest challenge will be when you walk in that door on the 31st of October, will you be in the best condition that you've been for a pre-season?

"Because if you are, you will certainly show me and your teammates and everyone else who's involved in football, that you're seriously committed to next year."

"One of the first things I've been asked is about the Junction Oval. It smells like a footy club," he said. "There's sweat and anger in the rooms. That's what a football club is about."

    What do The Bermuda Trinagle, Crop Circles, The Loch Ness Monster, Stonehenge and Yze-Magic have in common?

    The fact that we were still at the junction oval into the 21st century tells us all so much.

    I got slammed for bumping a post from 2007 earlier this week, Benson. Don't do it man, next Someone will accuse you of being an illuminati moon landing hoaxer.

    The Junction oval was renowned for having the best surface in the League to train on. Fair enough on the rest of it but a team will learn most of the fundamentals out on an oval.

    As for gym work and other aspects of training up a team, you find a way and you become resourceful. We probably just sat on our hands.

    We actually played finals on a semi regular basis when we were at the Junction oval. Now we have all these 'State of the art' facilities and we can't win a game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
