Am all for allowing Lever his 'more' natural game. Still, i can't imagine the current role is any surprise to him. I'm a little underwhelmed.

My observations of local rsl and pubs suggests there in no shortage of younger gens ready to fill the shoes of any declining boomers. Pokies are going nowhere....not unless outlawed ( as if )

Shouldn't have though a team called Demons were much into the soul business ? Of course...there is Faust !! ?

By all means get rid of the bandits, get rid of "too easy" betting. Am all for it. Until you do ownership , as in who, is somewhat irrelevant. I hope as a club we don't suffer for our martyrdom.

Shuffling deckchairs

As ought there be. Get the order of events right. Still a good result in end.

All well and good but reminds me of that idiot that shut down power stations BEFORE an alternative was in place !! Need to get this right or bottom line will be shredded. Still...the club seems to have a better handle on the register these days. Hope this goes well.

Took pig about 5 mins to have effect and impact.. ( with a holiday from game no less ) I call bullshlt on patience. Lever ought to be better than this. Hes no green draftee/ rookie , he's a finals experienced player ffs. Pull finger out lad

We don't blame them...i blame the selectors.

So therefore they AREN'T there...and we haven't any...atm.

They're a bunch of bustards.... good to get their money. Well done PJ and Co

Round 2 will show very quickly a number of things: Can coaching/ selection learn? Was round 1 an aberration to the real norm? Have we a sustainable game style ?( Personally i think there may be a fundamental flaw in thinking. The season is a marathon...yet we rely on a style played at frenetic pace...more like backing up 100m sprints. Its a long season. Who's in favour...who might not be ? Yes it'll be only 2 games... astute observation can provide insight. The Lions are actually a real danger game. Im enthused by the optimism shown by some. Im not convinced weve got this right yet. That was a pretty average effort all things considered. Scoreboards seldom lie. Had the Cats kicked straighter we wouldn't have been in it. Go Dees

Ron. We actually lost the game...and in a number of ways starting with selection through to fades, through some one dimensional game style through to poor decisions by those that ought know better. Then there was Max A lot to review and fix for the weekend

Round 2 will be informative to say the least Go Dees

Fascinating thread. Having only now had the chance to watch the game ( an unfortunate family bereavement just recently put footy on the back burner ) I fear I'm somewhat aligned with Webber in the main. I expected a far more composed and dedicated side than that which fluffed it Sunday. Selection ... very questionable in some respects. Before the bounce...before this season my thoughts went...We win round 1...off and running..some confidence..build on that refine... and we're a finals contender. Lose...and we're already playing catch-up footy....and that was exactly what we played Sunday after the 1st qtr. I think the club is well placed off the field in admin etc kicking goals there. I have a little sneaky that the FD world and relationships towards some players is not all honky dory. Im not convinced our game style can either be executed consistently, nor the coaches capable of sufficient and timely adjustment. Ill wait till about round 6-7 to start worrying. Im not overly enthused at the moment.

Viney. He has the ability to take on a game. His absence was noticeable last season. He adds a big cog to the gearing. Tmac. Most definitely handy and adds a different dynamic to the front end but we can kick goals from many players. Toms effect is mainly about the front arc. Viney's is all over the ground.

Mike isn't alone. I sense the bullshlt dept is working overtime again at the MFC

Storm in teacup really. New recording is fine. Notsure what anyone's fussing about.

Hey....wattsa a mahler with you hey !!!

As expansion comes we'll be diluted. We just missed the best opportunity to snag a cup and establish our real bone fide as a power club. Ive seen under 16's playva cleverer style of footy. I don't think the game coaching was at all where it needed to be. Wasted opportunity. Back to drawing board Dees. Have a good and proper think. Next year much harder.

Boudicca and Joan say hello

From what ive watched of this series we certainly did not lack ( in the main ) for endeavour and application. There are certainly those with some skill and footy prowess. That said there was a hell of a lot of fiddle-faht footy and the goalposts were a pretty safe spot to stand !! Melbourne...the glamour side. Not sure the coach has a clue tttt

I read it as a childish ambit gamble. The AFL is using this as either leverage or a 'reason' it should leave ASADAS overseeing. The Great Dil cant stand that it's not really his bst and ball. Has there ever been such a lacklustre fool in charge of this game ? I wonder. Gil isnt really in this world...just his own delusional kindergarten.

My....we are a diverse lot
