Quarter by quarter analysis - is fitness our problem?
DemonWA replied to Hampton 22's topic in Melbourne Demons
I remember the eagles were criticised about fitness a few years back too. They were the kings of the 2nd half fade out. I think learning a press can be tiring as you find people do more running than they really need to. Pressing (or Zoning) requries alot of running, yes, but even more so if your're not smart about it or dont quite understand it. As the guys understand their positions and the press they'll be able to be more efficient in their defensive running.- 55 replies

Jared has been playing well, he's probably our best performing 'senior' player. I'd back his word, but it would be interesting to see if sylvia or Beamer would have said the same thing

Dunn played well in 2010 and looked like he wasnt a spud .....

Whats an Aggi truck doing rocking up at Real Madrid's HQ??

thats my take on things. I dont think Bailey's endgame would have been to play bruise free unacountable football by any means. He just coached to the strengths of the list to instill confidence whilst the youngsters were finding their feet
-
Its good to hear some support for Neeld, and why he's doing what he's doing. Pretty similar to the general feeling on here too. lets hope he's right!
-
i'd keep Jetta too for the same reason. Everytime he gets a game you can see he tries his heart out. Plus he doesnt shirk a contest

i see where your coming from, but Bailey didnt coach to win for the first season or two. Then, when he did try to teach the team to press, the club didnt have the resources to teach effectivley - i can imagine him at Junction Oval scribbling on a big pad of butcher paper with a permanant marker

i had a read on bomberblitz. Their changes for this week ins: Percentage Outs: Bruises

Perhaps Bailey knew the limitations of the list and coached accordingly? If that meant we'd be better served putting numbers behind the ball rather than zone, well so be it (in the short term). it seems people are pretty quick to draw conclusions on how Bailey wanted us to play in the long term, based on what he delivered in a relitivley short period of time (when not playing for draft picks). he still talked about being competative and doing the 1%ers, but perhaps not at the point where it becomes the sole focus. Neeld is taking a very different approach, starting at Basics and working up from there. I'm backing him in as i hope he gets us to where we want to be. BUT, give credit where credit is due, Bailey was able to win the odd game whilst deveoping a young list. Winning breeds confidence and Morale in both players and supporters
-
We will win because our players are sick of loosing and this may be our first real opertunity to get a win
-
I dont think Bailey's philosophy was all that different to Neelds. To say Bailey was all attack and no defence is not true. How much did Bailey used to talk about competing, and winning quarters? Neeld is saying much of the same thing In the games we did win under bailey we attacked the footy hard, tackled well and maintained good intentsity for 4 quarters. I guess the only difference between both philosophies is that Bailey was teaching both attack and defence at the same time (probably to the detrement of the defence side of the scales), where as Neeld is taking a 'one step at a time' approach.

Hardwick's Tiges Lighting a Path for the Demons
DemonWA replied to Range Rover's topic in Melbourne Demons
I don't think he should be sacked, but I don't think he has done enough to earn genuine belief just yet either. IMO its blind faith until he proves himself with some on field results, hell, I'd even be happy with an honorable loss (if there is such a thing) -

Your neeld crusade is looking to be 2012 version of rpfc's quest for people to show blind faith in scully.... -
Hardwick's Tiges Lighting a Path for the Demons
DemonWA replied to Range Rover's topic in Melbourne Demons
What is this. Shall we look back in the history books to find every good news story that has started with a bad beginning? I hope your on the right track range rover, but not sure why people need to have blind faith in neeld based on the things he says, not on what we see on game day? Too early to tell either way -
Square Peg, Round Hole - Exactly why we need Neeld!!!!
DemonWA replied to Vipercrunch's topic in Melbourne Demons
whats that quote about Bex and having a nap?! Sacking a coach 9 games into a 3 year contract would do nothing for the club. Infact all it would achieve would be changing the media's focus from Neeld and his position to the club as a whole. "basket case demons sack coach" - No thanks. Instead lets see the players put in a tough effort in wet conditions against a Blues team who have been playign soft footy. Maybe then the media will lay off Neeld for a week and some of our supporters might be able to chill out -
Yeah the way their fans were waving their scaffs around after the win against west coast..... you would have thought they handed out premierships in may?!!

I reckon he must give the coaches a chubby at training - has good skills & good pace, can imagine he'd tick boxes in a drill haha
