The Bailey Vision

[Tommyneu]

Does anyone know anything about this guys coaching style or plan for the development of the playing list? He must be doing something right...firstly he landed the job after applying via the newspaper. Secondly he has impressed Chris Judd during his meeting with Melbourne. Is this man the answer to the Dees' premiership drought?

 

[2 Dogs]

He will help, but the answer to our premiership drought is, drum roll please...........................................












JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dez!]

JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bugger off Brett Burton there's a new Birdman in the AFL.

 

[Manginable Claw]

Juice is going to be a big part of Bailey's plans to put another cup in our cupboard

 

[CowboyFromHell]

I thought our 10 commandments went something like this...

1. Thou shalt drink wine at all times
2. Thou shalt drive a Range Rover
3. Thou shalt NOT go to the snow but have 15 year old kids mock you for it.

etc. etc. etc.

He might be able to win a few Nick Smith medals for doing f**** all though.

I'm not sold yet.

 

[Brock the legend]

im not kidding.....i was away for 6 weeks thid year....im so sorrry...please dont kill me...this is very embaressing...why is he called juice....

 

[Louie]

I assume it is for Juice Newton a dodgy 80s singer who I believe sang "Queen of Hearts".

Because his Dad used to own the "Drift" juice company back in the 90's.

Urge to kill rising.

Juice does not have to prove anything to anyone.

We have to prove that we are worthy of supporting him.

I'm actually over all this "Juice" hype. He's taken a few grabs and kicked a few goals. I was all over him not long ago... over it now.

 

[the russian40]

Im a little over the Juice thing as well, the kids played 10 games (?), he'll need to prove himself on better defenders before I start jumping around..

And anyway, why has this thread been turned into another Juice thread?

 

[saj_21]

Yeah i agree, he has talent. back to the reason this thread started. I hope Bailey's game plan is to play attackin footy and none of this defensive crap that sydney have made "fashinable" over the last few years.

I ve watched many highlights of melbourne in our good years 98 2000 02 04 05 06 and the one thing those yr have in common is melbourne playin attacking footy runnning the ball down the middle of the ground thru the centre square. getting to 70 meters and drivin it long to a target.

This theory shudnt change. The main thing bailey can and has to change is the defensive part of melbournes game.

Thankyou, finally a decent response to the thread. I have the same views, if he brings to Melbourne the gut busting running game Port have...we are heading in the right direction. As for the defence, I think he can only do so much with the cattle he has. Hence the need for us to seriously consider trading for a key CHB. Now that Maguire is out of the equation this would seem difficult...maybe he can groom young Frawley for CHB. Miller has to go, he hasn't found his position 5 years since his debut. Hopefully Bailey can ressurrect us as a football team.

 

[master bate]

It really is too early to tell what gameplan he will bring, the club didn't announce anything about his stateges when he was given the job. However the club said he has an emphasis on teaching players and giving players a say in what they are doing, which sounds positive.

Perhaps he could give us a defensive part first.

 

[eliasd82]

I believe that he was Ports defensive coach, which is what we have needed for a long time... Daniher was a good coach but far too offensive.. we couldn't even kicked the ball back into play, we have always had issues in this area. Wheatley must be the kick in man, and we need a strategy which is more effective for our club.

Im interested that he has so far decided to kept Dutchy Holland, which i think is a good thing, cause he plays well on the full forward gorillas..

Im looking forward to see what new ideas and plays that Big Bails will implement.

It's all just a bit of fun. Creating a cult hero to keep ourselves entertained. I don't think anyone has realistic expectations of him becoming a 100-goal-a-season player,but he does look like he has a bright future.
