He's been linked to the caretaker coaching position, along with Viney

That is very piss weak by Melbourne. So will Gary Lyon coach the Demons now?

[dedja]

Not sure the Demons had much of a choice really ...

[The Sleeping Giant]

Of course they had a choice. Let the emotion of the event subside before making a rash decision. The media pressure was to great for Melbourne I guess.

Tend to agree, TSG. The consensus was that he would not be there in 2012, but to terminate early like this - albeit after a horror match - is odd timing, especially with no obvious successor at the club. Connolly is in enough trouble with his role as football operations manager, let alone taking the coaching reigns for the rest of the year. Todd Viney probably the favorite for this season at least.

[dedja]

Seems all is not well in the club, could be more to follow Bailey by the early reporting.

Obviously the magnitude of that horrific loss did the trick ... 31 goals is one hell of a thumping.

Not sure there's a right or wrong answer on this one.

Heard Connely and Scwabb will be getting flicked tomorrow

[NFC]

One of the worst coaches to have ever been employed.

[Media Park]

SUNRISE report this morning is that Dean Bailey FACES the sack today, and although he is likely to get it, have we jumped the gun?

Eddie agrees with you

All about the 'Brand' these days, coaches are the whipping boys if the 'brand' looks like its getting damaged!

Yeah hate these terms creeping in.
Zone and rebounds shits me to tears aswell but the worst is when i hear commentators keep saying how well someone is catching the ball. Its a mark u tossers

Press. Brand. Culture.

Amazing footy prospered like it did before these terms became so common.

Who said it prospered? It just existed for many years. By the time the national competition was formed most of the clubs were broke. Not saying that these wanky terms are causing the game to prosper mind you.
