Sack Bailey Petition

[Topkent]

simple yes or no, people can put there name to this then if they have the guts to either yes or no

i for one am happy to put my name down as yes... im sick an tired of this game plan it is so far wrong that we will be beaten by port and gold coast later in the year

please give a yay/nay

put your name to this people so we cant have any bandwagoners and so forth if you agree or disagree dont hide behind the voting system

 

[Topkent]

nick grant- yay

 

[Tulip]

It's round 6. Haven't we finished the over-reaction after last night? Give him the season, then evaluate - chase Malthouse, Roos or LYON (please!) if and when bailey is truly found out.

Balennon - not voting

 

[cannons]

Nah, not yet.

I'll admit that I find myself questioning his position as senior coach, but come on, we were in the top 8 coming into this round.

Despite the worrying signs, it's far too early to make a decision at the moment.

we were in the 8 purely based on the fact that we have the softest draw in the afl.. but i respect your opinion

 

[Crimson Azure]

No, now is not the time for it.

 

[BigSexc]

No, now is not the time for it.

thank god

Yes, we have gone backwards this year, he won't be the coach next year so why wait til the end of the season, Chris Connolly should take over for the rest of the year and let him put his case up for the senior coaching job for next season.

Neale Daniher should of been out after 2003, after making the grand final in 2000 with a young and upcoming team, we were very disappointing for the rest of the decade, missed the finals in 2001 and 2003 he should of been gone by then. We need to stop hanging on to coaches, Jimmy and the board need to make a statement, we havent won a premiership since 64, we had an opportunity after 2000, we have another one now, let's not stuff this one up

 

[Supermercado]

Chris Connolly? Very humorous!

Please, let's not make the same mistake over and over and over again! This team needs a proven coach! We need direction from a guy that demands respect from the playing group. Matthews, Malthouse and Roos are the only 3 names we should be looking seriously at right now. Try walking off the ground and looking any of those 3 in the eye after playing a game like last night!

As nice and romantic as it would be to have an ex player coaching us(Viney, Connelly, Lyon), these bunch of lazy aresed players in the red and blue jumpers need direction and discipline from a coach who has taken a team to a premiership. It's time to throw a heap of dough into our coaching staff. Schwab said that we would, and now it's time to back that statement up.

Proven coach. No more blind ****ing leaps!

Voted no. Now is not the time.


Coach in 2012? Most likely not!

 

[Jeebs]

Melbourne supporters: 'It wasn't the loss, it was the WAY we lost.'

Melbourne supporters: I know, let's create a thread about sacking the coach



Pot. Kettle.

 

[Syrus]

I vote yes.

I think everyone on here knows where i stand, based on my thread.
NO point keeping him to the end of the year, if the club is going backwards. Time to get a proven coach.

 

[demonfromupnorth]

No.

Not at this stage of the season.

 

[RandB]

I answered NO assuming the question was about sacking him now.

At this point I can't see what good it would do tbh. I expect the club to make the right call at the end of the season and if the situation becomes untenable before the end of the season then act accordingly but I don't think it will come to that - touch wood.

 

[chaz051]

i voted yes

dean bailey could very likely become the matthew knights of the 2011 season

 

[2 Dogs]

No. Knee jerk reaction. See how we respond the next few weeks on field and selection table.

Yes I would prefer Malthouse, Roos or Matthews, but there is no guarantee we are going to get one of them, we might need a back up plan, by letting Connolly or even Viney or Royal take over for the rest of the year and see what they can do with the team, and at the end of the year we can asses everyone, Connolly's record at Fremantle 67 wins 62 losses isn't that bad, it's better than Malthouse at Footscray 67 wins 66 losses 2 draws

 

[goDees22]

No. Last night was not very similar to round 1 less year, probably less deflating given that it was round 1. Hopefully the players respond in similar fashion otherwise he is in strife.

TBH even if we recover and make finals if Malthouse even blinks in our direction I want him signed, we have never been that enviable team to come up with a revolutionary gameplan like a forward press, clarko cluster, geelong run and carry etc. I'd argue Collingwood aren't that talented a list, but they certainly have the gameplan. Look at essendon, same team as last year + gameplan = 10 goal better team, I want us to be the cutting edge for once, we certainly have enough natural talent that Malthouse will be able to mould infinitely better than Bailey, even though I think he has done a good job throughout his time, especially given years 1 + 2 were always going to be a write off

 

[Equus]

Intruding on your board but this is one of the most sensible post on the thread.

Demons in the last 5 years have never had a good run at Subiaco and I'd count this game as an anomaly.

It's up to the players how they respond to the loss in next week game.

 

[ahh_zombies]

Neale Daniher should of been out after 2003

Pretty sure we were on top of the ladder in August 2004



..




then we went to shit

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I voted yes but it may have been a premature termination...it's never happened before, really...

 

[Blackas87]

Exactly, on top after round 18, lost our last 4 games of the home and away season, finished 5th and then lost to 8th placed Essendon in the elimination final, a different coach could of taken that group the whole way

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

..

We where the top finishing victorian team in 06.

I voted no. We didn't win our two games in fairytale fashion, we lost 1 game on either side of these losses (+a bye), emabarassing loses they were. Seems like it would cause more harm then good to sack him after 5 games. If we sacked Bails now it would be a knee jerk reaction and would provide an 'excuss' to all remaing parties.

As already posted, put some pressure on both the coach and the players and let them do all that they can to redeem themselves over the next month or 2.

 

[TheBoss]

I voted yes. Never rated him, he will never coach a premiership side.

I was against his extension last year. Who the **** honestly awards a 1 year extension to a coach who's team was flogged the week before!?!?
