Just a little sidenote from Sheedy's after match conference.
'We can improve a lot - 10 to 15 per cent - and if everyone improves one per cent that is 22 per cent,' Sheedy said.
:confused: :confused: :confused:
cant work that one out.
ANOTHER BUCKLEY POSSESSION...
what??
pfft sheedy and his mind games!
I'll get back to you on that one...

A lot is 10-15 % eqals 10- 15 players at 1% each improvement
22 players, 1% each equals 22%...easy really:)

Let me put it this way then Steggie.
22 x 1 = ??? Okay...got the answer?
If each of the Essendon players can lift their performance by 1% when there are 22 players in a team, you get an increase of 22%, right?
Simple arithmetic sonny!! :)

LOL ..it's the new math!
Again he's got you talking

Thanks Topdon i'm too complicated for my own good:(
Sorry to burst your bubble - but a 1% increase in each of the 22 players is still only a 1% increase over the whole team! :D
I still can't work out Sheedy's comments either......:confused:

Denno is correct with his mathematics and the Bomber fans incorrect.
Put it this way. In a team of 22, if each player was rated 60/100 for his effort on the weekend, then the total team rating would be (22x60)/(22x100) or 1320/2200.
If each player improved by one percent (1% of 60 is 0.6), then the new rating for each player would be 60.6/100 and the total team rating would be (22x60.6)/(22x100) or 1333.20/2200.
The increase of their ratings is (1333.20-1320)/1320 or 0.01 which is, of course 1%.

Dennos and Shinbonders are correct.
Maybe it is not just Sheedy logic but Bomber logic :D :p
I was wrong:(
I know 16 going on 17 though:D :D :D
His name is Kevin Sheedy, not pythagorus!!
You know what he meant anyway - If everybody improves, we will play better!!!:p

So, if every player improved 100%, then the whole team would improve 22% ??
Nope if every player improved 22%, then the team would improve 22%
If every player improved 100% then the team would improve 100%, it's logic, but I don't really know the mathematics.
I guess it's like if you melt down 4 pieces of chocolate, each with 25% fat, and turned them into a single entity, the new piece of chocolate wouldn't be 100% fat, it would be 25 % fat.
I think that's how it works anyway. :confused:
I'm trying to decide whether or not Sheeds knew that or not. It sounds like something he'd say knowing full well that it didn't make mathematical sense, but having a bit of a lend of the media. Not sure :confused:

Personally I don't know how you guys can work out Sheedy at all. I mean he has no clue, but is just luck enough to coach a talented team. Elmer Fudd could coach this team and they would win. Sheedy is no genius. :D
