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.

    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

    the last section of the robbo signs deal in the herald sun.

    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 Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
