Can't believe Melbourne would go down this path of a rookie coach I would have thought they need the complete package of selling the club and memberships as well as a good quality coach meaning Kevin Sheedy is the perfect fit for them.

Only time will tell i suppose.

[Dirko]

IMO I thought they may have grabbed Sheeds, appointed their next choice as a assistant and let Sheeds groom them and provide tutelage...

One of the most impressive persons I've met through footy, one outstanding football brain and a coach-in-waiting in my mind since one game at Footy park v West in 1995 when he called in Glenelg players in told them in no-uncertain terms where they were going wrong and what they needed to do to correct the situation.

Hmm Bails you maybe aren't a great player, I thought, but I think you have a future in coaching.

A straight talker in a football sense, a great student of the game, and a top bloke to boot.

[am Bays]

The worst thing is though what happenned last time a Port Power Assistant was appointed to a senior coaching position on the eve of the finals....

Yeah it's a tough one ... Someone like Sheed's probably would have done wonders for the marketability of the club.

That said, if a club wins regularly enough memberships and attendance takes care of itself ... Unless you're the Power of course (lol C'mon Booney, I was only joking mate)

[hearts on fire]

great choice by Melbourne, good luck to Bailey and the rest of his coaching career...

LOL I knew you'd find something to come back with, I'm gonna have to try harder

Did I miss 15 000 against Hawthorn and 5 000 agaisnt Geelong over the last two weeks.....

[Hondo]

Good call by Melbourne I reckon

Meant to be announced early next week but Chocko let it slip in a press conference today

Sheeds is well experienced and credentialled but plenty of rookie coaches have performed for their clubs - Roos, Williams to name a couple of premiership coaches

[Punk Rooster]

I thought it was JO BAILEY!

[Strawb]

Interesting Choice by the demons I will be waiting to see how he goes Choco Speaks highly of him.

Ohh that wink nearly saves you! I do beleive CP was referring to 'home' game crowds?

*Cmon, CP ,help me brother.No finals against a finalist? Please?*

Bailey gets Melbourne Job!....and heres me thinking it was a story about legalised prostitution in VIC. .. Well done Dean, one of our better players in 94-96, Well done. Is this the first ex-PHOS Camden player to coach AFL?

[Rushby Hinds]

Boo!

He has a son who (until this week) was absolutely starring in the Glenelg Zone Primary School Footy.

Future footy star, guaranteed

Funny thing is that he is tall with red hair.
