Bailey v Neeld

Featured Replies

The point was comparing the season where the coach was fired to this current season, but just for you princess I've posted the 2009 stats, which are STILL way better than this year.

See my post above - possession v pressure - possession looks better stat wise but did it really mean we won anymore games?

It still took 3 to 4 years to see any real improvement - and see above again I am not supporting Neeld - just trying to compare apples with apples and not promote hate

Beat me to it.

2008, 2009 were bad, but not this bad. Not without lack of effort. And, like, tackling and all that stuff.

Yep, in 2009 the highest losing margin was 66 to the pies. Melbourne lost 8 odd games by less tha 4 goals. Things were not as bad as they are today. Wins over tigers, eagles, port and freo... No GWS or GCS in the comp that year.

The game has changed, however, our coach has not evolved with the game.

Ummm well we won 8.5 games that year, this year we've won 1. So, well yes it does....

Now thats better - cheers Stuie

How many games did we win in 2009? 4? (sorry what year are these stats?)

Stats really don't tell us that much - possession footy was bailey's game style (can you clarify when those stats are from stuie?)

I will say this - I agree we've been really poor, if we can' address the possession issue and inability to score then someone else will be brought in..... which i think is a formality anyway

Look at the average margins mate.

Ummm well we won 8.5 games that year, this year we've won 1. So, well yes it does....

So you compared year 2 for neeld with year 4 for bailey

do I need to say anymore?


Neeld is showing more effort in desperately trying to lower expectations to save his job then the players are showing on the field, this is a very sad day for the once proud Melbourne Football Club.

Just thought it would be interesting to do a comparison between the season that saw Bailey fired, and Neeld's 2013 so far.

I'm not a Bailey supporter, there were obvious problems under his reign, but this is a shocking comparison considering his fate.

The most important stat is the goal difference, goal difference of 2.5 goals compared to 7.3, seriously is Neeld a used car salesman?

Look at the average margins mate.

We still got flogged under Bailey mate

I cbf - continue promoting your hate

It's actually 2.5 compared to 9.0

Not on average, especially compared to Neeld.

Look. At. The. Stats.


So you compared year 2 for neeld with year 4 for bailey

Take the expansion teams away from Neeld, and things look really bad... Really bad.

The year he got sacked...

And I added 2009 just for you ya sook.

Opps wrong number, well that just makes it even more depressing.

Whilst these stats look damning, don't be too taken in. A sample size of 22 matches (for DB) compared to one that is 7 matches (for MN) won't give you fair statistics: the larger the sample size, the more reliable the results (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers). Because MN's sample size is so small, we can't really trust those stats when comparing to DB's, even when looking at averages, and even when looking for trends. Can anyone post the same stats for the 2012 season, so we can have a fair comparison?

The year he got sacked...

Haha i did laugh at that


Also consider GWS and GC last year. I imagine that would bump up possession, goals for/against count.

We've played both of them this year already. GC beat us by 10 goals.

Are you racing to get post 5000 Stuie? Whatever "Conan" rubbish you've put above wont open for me.

Broken link, replaced it with similar just for you handsome

Stuie - you are having an argument with about 5 people on here.

If things continue the way they are Neeld will be gone.

You continually pointing out the obvious is not doing anything for this place.

Am I a Neeld defender because I would prefer his dismissal come later in the season?

Because I think that is where a number of posters are at right now.

 

Neeld has fans?

Well might you ask that.

Stuie thinks that anyone who disagrees with him loves Neeld.

So I guess we are all Neeld fans at times...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
