Dean Bailey passes away.

my thoughts go out to his family and loved ones

 

[Keys]

Heard this on the ABC radio news on the way to work and was wtf

Didn't know he was even crook so shows how up to date I am with some things

Sad news for his family and all that were close to him. Always seemed like a decent bloke.

47 is young. Maybe not for some of you whippersnappers on here but just over a month out from my 47th birthday it is young to me

 

[Engimal]

Terrible news.

 

[Handsuper47]

47 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too young! That just ain't right.

 

[Kram]

Well that's just shit.. Didn't even know the man was crook.

 

[MF]

Pretty shocked by this as I must have missed the news that he was sick. 47 is way too young.

Seemed like a really good bloke. I always thought he was a pretty good coach too, just got the wrong job at the wrong time IMO.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

****in hell... unbelievable.

By all accounts a great fella.

RIP

 

[smasha]

Big shock to hear this.
R.I.P. to Dean Bailey.

Condolences to family and friends.

 

[TedDougChris]

Absolutely tragic...... Very sad news.....

 

[vonno]

I'm shocked. RIP & condolences to his family

lung cancer...I know people that have smoked for 50 years and still walking around. a healthy guy like that? life just doesn't make sense sometimes.

sadly I mostly remember him for being the coach of that 30 goal loss down at geelong. of course that organization was dysfunctional and that wasn't his fault...

 

[_Christoh_]

Terrible news, I wish his family all the best. 47 is just way too young.

He was an important part of Port Adelaide's 2004 Premiership and will be missed.

Heard it this morning and couldn't believe it, the way channel 10 covered it was nothing short of disgusting.

Oh and dean bailey has passed away.. and now onto some panda's.

Get some ****ing class .

Scary how quickly cancer can rip away life... can't wait for the day cancer is beat.

 

[Piss Poor]

You look back a few years ago Stynes was President, Bailey was coach and now they are both gone a few years later. Feel for the Dees, kind of want them to come good after all the the pain they have gone through, the footy gods hate them so much.

 

[FIGJAM]

Sad news. RIP.

 

[bkozican]

Was only diagnosed in december......

R.I.P

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Geez..
Can't believe it.
Very sad.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Hate hearing news like this. Really nice guy and cracking sense of humour too.
Far too young, and only a couple of months after the diagnosis. Life really isn't fair.
Thoughts are with his family and friends and hope they know how much of an impact he's made on everyone in the footy community.
R.I.P.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Can't believe this such terrible news taken to young at 47
RIP Dean

 

[RobV]

That's the thing with cancer, people can be seemingly managing and then everything goes downhill very quickly.

 

[Tiger2709]

I only heard recently that he had Cancer what a shock for his family, very sad day for them and the football community.

That's the thing with cancer, people can be seemingly managing and then everything goes downhill very quickly.

Yea we had an aunty last year that went to the hospital with sore stomach, gets diagnosed with cancer. 4 months later we are at her funeral. Scary scary stuff.

Thoughts are with the family and friends of Bailey

 

[dazbroncos]

Great bloke. Shit disease….

Gotta end this thing.

 

[Sttew]

Always came across as a gentleman off the field. Succumbing to "Jimmy Dancer" is tough at any age, bur at 47 is tragic. You just wonder how much the stress of coaching contributed to his demise.
