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.

    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.

    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.

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

    do I need to say anymore?

    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?

    It's actually 2.5 compared to 9.0

    Not on average, especially compared to Neeld.

    Look. At. The. Stats.

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

    The year he got sacked...

    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?

    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...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
