The Herald Sun has a great article on Dean Bailey - DEAN OF MELBOURNE

Good read.

This bit is interesting.

"Neitz will be captain again in 2008, for the 11th season"

that can't be right i thought it was 8 or 9

Anyway stoked that the big fellas still El Capitano

I like the cut of Deano's jib, but right now, he has alot of work to do. Talking in December is one thing, action in march is when he will really start to be judged. But so far, i think he is a god fit.

Also great to G.Lyon get involved and talk Robbo around. Like the article says, Garry gets criticised for not being involved in the club, but he is red and blue through and through, and he is often talking to players...when they ask him. a true club great!!!

Great article, Mike's always good at a December fluff piece, but at least "The Dean' is saying all the right things. It's hard to not get excited about the new era, but it seems the suck it and see approach is the best way to take this. Too many disappointments to get too excited yet!!

Seems as if that link isn't active at the moment!

I found it myself and here's the link I have:

Hate to be a wet blanket, but he may not be the messiah, he may be just a naughty boy!

I remember Barassi was touted as the messiah years ago; what a fiasco that was!

It doesnt matter what happened in 20years ago it doesnt matter what happened last season because today is a new day with a new coach a new team and a new attitude. Dean Bailey at the moment has ticked all the boxes so no criticism is needed for the moment until he makes one but Bailey looks like the man who learns from mistakes and would not keep a recurring problem occur which we faced occasionally through the Danhier Era.

As Bob Dylan said "The times they are a-changing" so lets just sit back and watch our team in the 2008 season and support them through the good times and the bad times.

As said in the article we have players that are at a fitness that was expected in Janurary and players are not happy about last season and are looking to rectify it, so you know that we are going to come our roaring. People can critise and point out flaws and complain but I don't care cause i know that I'll be cheering for my club come the 2008 season and beyond because nothing can destroy my optimism and nothing can destroy my faith.

CARN THE DEMONS!!! FOR NOW AND FOREVER!!!

Bingers, I appreciate your caution, but the Barassi era was the precursor to our 5 consecutive finals appearances under Northey. The vast majority of that team were brought together by Barassi and Slug Jordan. Perhaps his 5 year plan should have been 7!
