We need a Dennis Cometti to comentate what is happening and then a Paul Roos, Jonathon Brown, Gary Lyon or Kane Cornes to analyse the game and provide insights into what is happening and why.

Lingy is like a Mcaveny light.

I might be in the minority but I find Bruce Mcaveney extremely annoying to listen to when watching the game. He seems to have no grasp of what is happening, fawns over well known players whether they are playing well or not and then distracts from what is actually taking place. Keen to hear others views re Bruce.

Brilliant - I like the roaming BT segment. Gives some good insights into what the players do after the game and some good light hearted Q&A. It also has a nervous air that Roaming BT will say or do something highly inappropriate which adds to the experience. On a side note, Bruce Mcevaney annoys me to no end. He offers no insight or understanding of the game and simply fawns over players based on their reputation and not on how they are playing or what is actually happening.

[censored] playing Lever role very well

Melbourne will go bang! Second half. Win by 54 points!

I feel really good about tonight, Dees by 54 points. Dees!

We've got this. Dees to win by 1, 000 points

Im beginning to wonder whether our 0-3 start has something to do with the 2017 camp, Gary Pert and Jesse Hogans body language.

Too much talk, I want to see action ?

Juice was Wayne Carey'esque for 1 half of football v North

Looks like a great opportunity to me. Bring it on!

Change could also mean the players executing the game plan, which managed to get us a a prelim final last year. If we take Goodwin at his word along with what Viney, Brayshaw etc are saying its that we are not performing because the players are not executing as instructed. Our performance this season closely resembles last season (although we did manage an early win or two) and the club turned things around to win 6 in a row, before dropping off again after the bye only to come storming back, beat WCE and GWS and win 2 finals. We are a young side and have started slowly but on history I'm backing the coaches and players to turn things around.

Thanks, might have to swish it down with a 1.25l bottle of the black doctor and then fall asleep on the can.

I've decided to order a bucket of KFC and watch the match v Sydney on Foxtel, it will be epic. DEES!

It can always be worse. I doubt we will maje major changes. If only. We had Michael 'Juice' Newton then all would be solved.

It's interesting that the Essendon 'Doping Scandal' was spun as the 'Supplement Saga' in the media. I'd love to read an article which describes it for what it was, a deliberate and covert program to give its team a biological advantage through the use of exotic substances which were found by ASADA to be banned substances, hence a doping program overseen by the Essendon Football Department.

Did we win?

This is a good summary of where we are at. Our biggest problem is that when we do not win the ball or turn it over the lack of pressure in the middle of the ground. This is the same problem. We had early last season, the only difference is that we were luck ly to jag a couple of wins before we got into some form and won six on the trot. Big game v Sydney this week.

Be patient Deesprate

One positive from last night is we've risen from 18th to 17th on the ladder. Onward and upward?

In seriousness I don't see our problems having anything to do with Pert. We're simoly in poor form. I'm happy the club has backed in Goodwin and the challenges the team is experiencing will make us better. Both Hardwick and Buckley coaches sides were underperforming and under enormous pressure but their coubs backes them in and Richmond wone a premiership while Collingwood played in one last year amd looking the goods 3 rounds in. Be patient fellow Demons.

Could our losses be Gary Pert's fault? We were winning, Pert comes on board and suddenly we're 0-3. Also, he leaves Collingwood and they play in a GF and look even better now.
