Richmond interested in hiring Dean Bailey as senior assistant to Hardwick [merged]

[Francois Jackson]

He was very good at nothing whilst he was at Melbourne. Good players went backwards under him.

"Good players went backwards" please name them  And BTW I know one player who improved remarkably under his coaching - Jamar 

Seriously though in fairness to him he was told to tank and he did that well 

Look at he whole list under Bailey not one player. How was Jamar's year last year.  Davey, Sylvia, Jurrah, Captain Green, Morton, Rivers, Newton all gone backwards in a big way.

Its my opinion but i dont want anything to do with him. Cameron can keep searching for another unemployed ex demon for us to hire.


Neeld will walk in there and bring this team inside the 8. Bailey it seems was a very dull and uninspiring coach.

Funny, I remember last year a chat around Trade Week we did with Blair Hartley people were constantly saying "go and get us a Mark Jamar".

Jamar had a very good 2011; missed games due to injury. Did you miss his work tap work to  Maloney  Struth if only our mids got fed like that

And are you saying all the players yuo've listed are "good players"   

[camboon]

Some coaches are very good assistances and arent quite cut out to be the senior coach - I suspect Bailey is one of those blokes.

PS: He was rated very high by the football world before falling from grace this year.

[Owl]

I have never coached, or been an assistant coach at any level of football but I have opinions, and here they are!  If he can help us whip them bastards next year, and there are no better options, get him.

Bate and Warnock for starters went backwards BIG TIME

[blaisee]

I just want to point out that Craig the guy everyone wanted in favor of Bailey also coached a team and was sacked this year. In that team dangerfield taylor And Tippett his best 3 young players all went backwards this year big time.

[WA Tiger]

Yep, said it from the start, I would have him at the club, without a doubt..

[tigtuff12]

...take out the fact that his last year was a shambles, prior to that he was well respected/regarded and considered a good teacher of the young guys...not sure what he would bring game day/tactically but his record whilst being assistant is solid (mind you he has a junk record as a head coach so that might debunk my theory....think I'm arguing with and trying to convince myself....hmmmmm - not sure if this would be a good appointment or not damn it!!)

hoping the "some people are meant to be assistant coaches not head coaches" notion is correct...

[tony_montana]

I didnt mind this when it was first tabled. The guys was a very good assistant and basically did what he was told to do with the Dees, got reamed. When this guys speaks you can tell he is switched on.

I like what Dimma is doing, he is surrounding himself with assistants he has had a previous working relationship with, guys who likely share similar football philosophies - you need chemistry in the coaches box.

Agree. Bailey did a good job for Melbourne and then they knifed him. He is switched on and If Hardwick wants him in then we should give him the job.

[TigerLand]

Something stinks down at Melbourne.

Serious culture issues. No leadership.

agree Jamar had a good 2011 and i never said those guys were good players. All i said is they went backwards under his leadership. Thats my opinion

Hold on be accountable for what you wrote rather changing the goal post to suit your agrument   

You wrote:

I asked you to name :

"Good players went backwards" please name them  And BTW I know one player who improved remarkably under his coaching - Jamar 

You answered by naming a host of players:

ANd now your saying they aren't good players

agree Jamar had a good 2011 and i never said those guys were good players. All i said is they went backwards under his leadership. Thats my opinion

So does Melb actually have any good players that Bailey sent backwards and if they do who are they

End of story
