This is a link to Baileys match review of the north game from mfc.com

Whilst he made some valid points, the most astounding omission from his game analysis is that he failed to comment on the complete absence of any structure or game plan when we brought the ball forward during the game.

The amount of times players looked upfield to see no options to kick to, no leads, no forward structure or method of bringing the ball into our forward line....was just astonishing. Indeed, these lack of options created alot of indecision in our players, undoubtedly contributing to the skill errors on the day.

The lack of forward structure was by far the most troubling element of the whole game for me.

Whats even more troubling is that Bailey isnt seeming to notice it.

Yes, this is the root cause of the handballing malaise we've seen at times.

I remember someone bringing up this issue after round 1 last year.

 

he'll never talk about structure in these type of reports... doesn't want to give our opposition a heads up... he'll concentrate on statistics reflecting the flow of the game, and individual efforts by players to summarise our performance...

Reminds me of what the PRESS were saying about Mark Thompson a few years ago

I really think Bailey is a good appointment for us and he comes from that long list of ordinary players who had footy smarts who became coaches

some of them became GREAT COACHES so give him some time

Watch how skillful our team executes the basics of kicking , marking and handball on the training track without an opposition

Bailey has a simple game plan yet on match day our skills are poor due to the pressure

Our improvemnet will come when our players put pressure on the opposition FIRST

The worth of a good team player is what they do when the OPPOSITION have the ball

Thats what bailey wants to see as well

Exactly the same philosphy as some ordinary players named HAFEY and JEANS had

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
