We've beaten just 2 Vic teams under Bailey

Richmond - who were bottom 2 in 09/10

Essendon - who's coach was a dead man walking at the time.

Which means that 12 of his 18 wins have come at the MCG against interstate teams in which we have a distinct advantage.

Which means that he has a 4-41 record against Vic clubs and continually fails the same tests over and over.

Not good figures when your contract is due to expire.

    I think that this year is seeing a magnifying of his coaching stats. Even teams that have been rebuilding don't have as damning statistics. He is in trouble. And the next month's schedule doesn't help. He should start looking for another job.

    Let's not read into it too much, how many of these teams have been top 8 since he started coaching? Geelong, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs and Carlton. Realistically, the only team that the MFC should have beaten, but haven't beaten that they should have is North Melbourne.

    how is it we played Collingwood twice and almost won both times last year ?

    well that was last year, this is this year and we won't get anywhere near them in a few weeks time>

    I think you need to be as well as be a good coach you need plenty of luck and DB has none !! He is snake bit, bad kama!!!

    I really do believe the loss of Sean Wellman has left a huge hole !!

    There is no self-awareness here at all.

    If you quietly wished Jordan McMahon to kick that goal, you cannot throw Bailey's win/loss record back at him.

    We tanked/experimented/whatever-you-want-to-call-it and it was gooooood!

    His win/loss record is meaningless and to bring it up is pointless.

    True to a point. Yes we all wanted the draft picks but to be honest we weren't good enough to win. Early in the year we were clearly trying to win as many games as possible but we weren't good enough to. Later in the year with some creative team selection we negated the slim chance we might have had in some games. But there must be a time where you start examinig the succees/failure of the coach/team. If we all agreed that last year we were trying every week and that this year is the same then we should look at the stats for that period and the remaining games this year. Surely they will have some relevance to whether he is reappointed. I know it is not the only factor to be considered but it will come into the equation along with gameplan, player development, fitness, attitude etc.

    The point is: will his record against Vic teams improve, now that we've stopped tanking (we have stopped tanking, haven't we?)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
