I love Dean Bailey!

I know he hasn't won a single game for us yet, but I love him.

I love his attitude, I love his philosophies and I wish I believed in anything as much as he believes in the game of AFL and this club.

Can't wait till the footy starts again!

    It sounds like he's trying to instill a whole new culture at Melbourne, and it's about time!

    I really like the way the club is heading and i know we might not win it this year but you just get the feeling that we are not going to just fall over and take a position at 15th again this year but that we are going 2 challenge what ever comes towards us and I know that we are going 2 surprise alot of clubs this year and beyond!!

    CARN THE DEES!!

    "Even Isaac Weetra is feeling like he can play the game. That's what excites a new coach."

    Is that supposed to suggest that this comes as a surprise to Bailey and that he might not think the kid's up to playing the game?

    I'd say it's more a reflection of the kid's mindset rather than playing ability. He's suggesting that Weetra hasn't dropped his bundle despite playing for Sandy 2nds last year.

    I'd love to see Colin Garland step up this year.

    That's exactly how I took it to mean.

    Btw, you have to be impressed with the team Bailey has assembled off-field. Three premiership players in Wellman, Mahoney and Williams (albeit Williams joined us in 07); an ex-AFL coach in Connolly; Prendergast and O'Donnell (the latter spent a long time at Windy Hill didn't he??)

    i think whatever happens next year we wont be left wondering.

    for me, the most frustrating thing about the dees is that they never seem to be going 100% totally flat out...sure if you are in crap form and cant kick you cant kick, but ffs you can always chase and tackle and shepherd and apply pressure to the opposition - no matter how good you are. and i really think that we will have a [censored] good dip under bailey. then even if we come 15th, at least we can say, well, we were [censored], but we really did do our best.

    ps this is why i still love simon godfrey

    these so called experts had the Dogs, Saints and Freo all finishing in the top six places. anything can happen. players get tested every week on the coaches tactics, how good is that. ive got three $100 bets with a Carlton supporter at work

    1- Dees finish higher than Carlton after round 22

    2- Dees to make the 8

    3- Carlton not to make the 8

    he has the opposite. at worst 2@3 will cancell each other out. im confident ill win $300

    and the Fev. cant see draftees from any of the 16 clubs having a HUGE impact next year. think our younger guys have a few more games in the bank. will be heading to Geelong for our opening NAB clash. cant wait to see the new gameplan unveiled and how the boys line up. no more talk about Miller for now.

    • 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.
