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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
