Oh, boy ... Glad they rang the club with their message, but I almost bet Dean Laidley won't be feeling well.

UNBELIEVEABLE!!
Even though Dean was totally in no way involved (related incident after the footy spat) he must still feel pretty low...very sad.Swannies for life!Comment

Still, when I read yesterday about Laidley's reaction I thought that was a totally unprofessional response.Comment

Laidley is so close to being sacked...My Pokemon brings all the boys to the yard and they're like "Wanna trade cards?"
"Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I can beat you, I've got Charizard!"Comment

It shows his response to pressure: it's obviously getting to him. I heard his press conference after the game and apparently the fan said something like 'well that's us gone for the year" to which Laidley responded along the lines of " come down to the rooms and see how we're hurting".
The news of the fans untimely death is quite bizarre.Run2Live,Live2RunComment

If he had used his brains he could have gotten the guy into the rooms to tell the players what the supporters were feeling about their form, when you are struggling anything could help.Originally posted by GoSouth33

I thought I recalled Seven News say he committed suicide. Regardless of how he died it's still a tragedy and this doesn't do anything good for the Kangaroos' season. It'll be no surprise that the match over at Manuka will be dedicated to him...
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

Laidley should have ignored any comments made and just kept walking.
The comments he made after the game were innapropriate, how was he to know that the person was drunk, just because they had a beer in their hand. He should have just made "No Comment"
Ultimately coaches shouldn't be made to walk through the fans to get on the ground.Comment

Laidley should have ignored him, but otherwise I don't see he didn't anything wrong. Certainly wouldn't have invited some random supporter down to the rooms as that's hardly going to make any difference. I don't know why they should dedicate the next match to him either. It's a shame for people who know the guy but it's not really anything to do with the club.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Will they now do their North Melbourne tradition and try cash in on it?? ie. McCartney and the extra numbers of the guernsey... The match v Carey playing for the Crows... I know they're down on dollars but they keep on playing the same card again n again.
Go South!

A) Laidley should have ignored him - no excuses for a professional coach in that situation
B) The media exposure would not have done anything for a person with mental health issues
Very sad."As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.Comment

Dean had nothing to do with this man's death.
His death should not be linked to Dean in any kind of direct way at all.
Junkyard should definitely have ignored such an innocuous comment from a disappointed fan. They must happen a hundred times a season, so why turn around now? Fate can be inexplicable at times.
When he said "that's us gone for the season", little did any of us know that he meant more than just the Kangaroos.Last edited by TheHood; 31 May 2006, 07:19 AM.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment
