Bailey - got the job because he interviews well?

[Gavin Excell]

In the assessment process for the Demons job we constantly read that Bailey was in the mix but was ranked a fair way behind some other candidates. then all of a sudden he got the job after reports of a fantstic interview.

Having worked in the public sector, used to be a constant source of frustration that people would win jobs not necessarily due to their merit but because they could talk cr@p in an interview scenario.

You'd like to think dees selection process relied on more than just an interview developed by dubious American HR consultants.

I say this because apart from poor execution of skills Melb the thing that strikes me as amazing with melb is the lack of desire and energy. Bit of a cocnern that a coach in his first year can't generate enthusiasm from his playing group.

Poor bastard Bailey.

That bell end el Presidente (Paul Gardner) just declared he and the board are right behind the coach.

2 games into a contract - that would have to be a new record wouldn't it?

The funny thing about this is, from what he's shown in after-match interviews and the meet the journo's thing with Caro, etc., he really doesn't seem to be any good in interviews.

How bad must the others have been?

I think our results this year are due to the players, not the coach.
We're simply not that good.
Not that anyone here would actually know how Bailey goes as a coach, but hey, feel free to judge after two games with a poor list.

Il give you this dollar if you let me coach.

Peter Rohde got our job based on a powerpoint presentation, maybe that's what Bailey did.

Bailey will be a good coach, it's not his fault he inherited such an awful list that will take 4-5 years to rebuild.
