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

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
