How quickly the media forget
Melbourne 2008 - Bailey's first year as coach.
R1 vs Haw L 104
R2 vs Dogs L 95
R3 vs Geel L 30
R4 vs North L 48
R5 vs Carl L 33
R6 vs Bris L 52
% after 6 rounds = 54.3
Every game was over by half-time with the Dees 6 goals down minimum.
It was round 7 that the Dees got their first win and that was coming back from 50 points down at half-time against Freo (just 1 win themselves) at the MCG.
R8 vs Adel L 76
R9 vs Haw L 19 ...... first game that they were competitive for the whole 4 quarters.
R10 vs St K L 79
R11 vs Coll L 21
R12 vs Rich L 22
R13 vs Syd L 40
R14 vs Bris W 1 @ the MCG
R15 vs Dogs L 31
R16 vs Freo L 46 ...... similar to our Freo game at Subi as they kicked the first 5 goals also.
R17 vs North L 28
R18 vs Ess L 16
R19 vs Geel L 116 ..... once again just like us.
R20 vs WCE W 34 @ the MCG (Eagles finished 2nd bottom with just 4 wins)
R21 vs Port L 78
R22 vs Rich L 80
3 wins 19 losses and a final % of 62.6.
Let's wait until the end of the season before we join the media in calling ourselves the new Fitzroy
