          A sad loss. Bailey was highly respected as Coach of Melbourne and did well with an average playing list. A former Essendon player his loss will be felt by the wider Football fraternity. RIP.

                      Terrible news, I really feel for him and his family. 47 is way to young. RIP Dean.

                        Just horrible, horrible news. found out this week a family friend has had a reoccurrence of cancer, 18 months after a double mastectomy and chemo she has three tumours. A work friend has just been given the 'all clear' half way through chemo for Hodgkins Lymphoma. Everyone's thrilled for her, but I just dread what might happen. Cancer sucks.

                        Best to Dean's family and friends, a sad, sad day.

                          Really sad to hear about that. Shocked. Puts it into perspective doesn't it.
                          Such a fit guy, healthy and probably never smoked, drank much or did any of the things half the country does.

                            Shocked to hear this. As many have said, 47 is too young. Blessings to his family and friends. Yes AndrewP6, cancer sucks!
