In the Hun it qoutes Dean Bailey as saying "We're going to gain a little respect"

Now 2 things in that the word "little" i think would have been said with a bit of tongue in check, the other is "WE'RE"

in other words WE ARE! not we hope.

Thats the talk i want, nay demand! As soon as i read that i felt good, i like the fact that he will demand respect not from the players but the whole of the football world, he reminds me of yoda "Do or do not, there is not try"

Demanding, i love it!

I expect a lot of players, ala Sylvia, Johnstone (if not traded), Davey, Brock to be in place by this guy. Jones will get better as well. Love this bloke already.

It's not the old Daniher "i think we can really put a dent into the competition." its all about gaining respect for a club that has lost its glory. go bailes

If I remember correctly, respect was a pretty big buzzword for Daniher as well. The problem was that he never had any from the players. He was just everybody's mate. For this reason he will be remembered as a great bloke, but a poor coach. Bailey is making all the right noises, and he seems to be taking control of the place with some ruthlessness.

Poor choice of words, Daniher was alot better than a poor coach. Dean Bailey has definatly got me excited, realy looking forward to seeing if Sylvia, Dunn, Bate, Brock, CJ, Newton and even TJ can go to new levels next year. Hopefully Bruce can return to his very best (which is extremely good) as well. Bring on 08!

Well he certainly wasn't a good coach. He made the fatal mistake that ensured he could never be good.

But without Daniher, we wouldn't have seen "run and carry" brought in...

Haha. Yes. His gift to us!

Herald Sun.

Bailey makes me excited in the pants, I'm pumped for 08!

What is the article called?

I read that article thiis morning over a bowl of cereal, and i must say it cheered me up a lot after the Judd sadness. I want this team to make Chris realize he made the WRONG choice-pure and simple- I Hate Carlton

Yes he was a good coach. His finals record over 10 years says he was a good coach. He did a lot for this club. He wasn't a great coach and that is why he isn't still here. Hopefully Baily is just what we are looking for. So far it seems like he has the respect demanding toughness as well as the smarts. Lets hope he is as good a game day coach as he is speach maker. It's good times :D

My favourite part about this year was the possession style of football the backman employed. Except he picked guys like Ward, N Brown and Carroll who all can't reliably hit targets. Not that the injuries allowed any flexibility in selection, but the game plan didn't suit the cattle he had.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.
