Dean Bailey gave an interview tonight with Gerard and Dwayne on 3AW

Summary points for those interested

- Colin Sylvia on a modified program this year due to OP in the past but nowhere near as modified as years past. Was able to be involved in some punishing endurance work

- When asked to do you teach a new game plan or provide a plan around the players strengths suggested the latter

- Big strength he believes will be our marking strength up forward - Neitz, Robbo, Newton, Sylvia, Bate and Yze. must have a game plan that allows for this to be our strength

- Said our four ruckman have done amazing amounts of endurance stuff and are really motoring.

- Really looking forward to Saturday

- Then some humour about Meesen having a really large family down Geelong way and if all were members we would have record numbers easily

- Dwayne then suggested it maybe a full house on Saturday and tickets may all ready be limited. Dean thought that would be brillant

- Dead batted any comments about the Prez - Gerard went on to mention a name he had heard around the traps as a replacement but I cant quite recall who it was - new name anyway

If I remember anymore will post accordingly

    I have been impressed with Bailey each time i've heard him speak. I think he is going to make Melbourne a very Hard and Tough group. If he doesn't i will be suprised

    Thanks DW. The part I found interesting is that Miller and Holland weren't mentioned amongst the marking forwards. Whilst Miller has never been a strong contested mark, hence his possible exclusion, I'd suggest that he'll play in the backline all year, form permitting.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
