The Swimming Dee

I just don’t understand it. That handball makes no sense at all

Big loss coming up...we are awful! No skills and no system...so difficult to watch. Pressure should be on the coaching staff

Our skills are laughable..:seriously bad

Gawn getting owned

Is this the worst commentary team of all time? Must be close

TMac - great start!

Yeah we are great at training all football instinct out of players

Viney is such a dumb footballer

Melksham is very lucky. I am a fan but his half efforts this year have been disgusting

We are hopeless in the wet without Dom Tyson

I really hope it isn't too wet...we will get annihilated if it is

I get what you are saying but I think that he is a very good coach. His last couple of years have tainted his reputation but I am sure he will get a head coach role again. BTW not having a go because your comments are fair

Melksham will be lucky to get a game next week. I thought he was horrible yesterday...always going for the easy option

That was a good one too...his best game

Spot on He’ll Bent...how did I forget that. His debut was fantastic. Rivers had that same unfazed look about him as a Clarry did...a bit of spunk and a lot of class

Probably not the thread to post this in but when was the last time a Dees debutant played as well as Rivers did against Carlton. I thought he was exceptional - so poised, hard and skilful. A great prospect! Bloody excited to watch him and Kossie tomorrow

All three of them look exceptional!

The opinion that said players wouldn’t be good enough is just plain wrong and frankly laughable. Nobody who saw them play and understood the game would think that...a clear lack of understanding of the game

Not sure it is worth arguing the point as there is clearly a lack of understanding of the game and the attributes of those players...all four of them would be genuine be stars in today's game

Says the bloke that runs the club where arguably their greatest ever player doesn’t feel welcome. Fix up your own backyard you goose!

Smith isn’t up to it. He is a great athlete but not a footballer. The majority of our issue today was workrate after quarter time. Sort that out and we aren’t a bad team. TMac needs to find form quick

Rivers looks very good, Jackson has wow factor!

I agree Gonzo - Farmer, Schwarz and Jakovich were special. Looking back though I feel like I took Neitz in particular for granted. He was an out and out star of the competition. I'm from Perth so don't get to that many games in Melbourne but remember going to Docklands and watching him Kick 8 against carlton...he was completely dominant. Also Round 1 (cant remember what year) when he hip and shouldered Luke McCabe from the hawks (destroying McCabe's shoulder) and following up with the goal. Not many players can claim All Australian honours in two different key positions. Champion player, champion bloke!

Neitz, Stynes, then Lyon

A reminder of how good Mitch is...the greatest live football moment of my life!
