Bailey v Neeld

Recommended Posts

I really don't see the point in making a comparison

Lets get real and concentrate on what is happening today and tomorrow

We have made some really bad decisions lets not dwell on it

Today we showed an AFL standard effort, but our skills and decision making were shocking at times, that's been the difference in probably 3 games for me now, we were capable of beating, Brisbane, Carlton and now the Tigers if we had abit more polish and even just clark and not the other injured players out there

I feel this is the biggest knock i can give on Neeld, we have played 8 games, we should have beaten gold coast, and could have won the three mentioned above, we are possibly only polish and injuries and abit of confidence away from having 5-6 wins,

How can Neeld say we are five years away, he is resigned to defeats we don't have to accept.

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 Uncontested Possession Differential this year of around a hundred remains from last season.

It was there again today. We should also note that the 2009 numbers relate to a team which was being performance-manipulated.

After getting flogged by Gold Coast, Neeld put himself on the former coaches list.

Absolutely, he should be gone already.

Comparing Bailey and Neeld why, they are both DUDS, a lot like some of our draft picks.

Neeld needs to go and we need to get a coach in there that knows whats needed.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
