Thought it was interesting that the footage that Roosy chose to illustrate the lack of a defensive mindset was the same footage that Neeld and co had shown to the playing group.

Yeah he's impressive, hope he doesn't lose his penchant to be so candid, I think he will have to over time.

Don't expect wholesale changes at selection if his comments are anything to go by.

Part of me wants to expose the under performers to the vasteness of Subiaco and part of me wants to send some to Casey. I'll let the experts decide.

We'll never know if Sheedy would have been better, but I'm guessing he would.

I can accept that we don't have anyone the class of black but to get owned in the third the way we did was weak, out with moloney, green and davey for starters as we probably won't win over there anyway, this will send a signal to the rest that Neeld means business

It'll be an important match cos I have the feeling both teams will be looking for their first win round 3.

Based on what i've seen so far...early days...dees won't get higher than 14th.

Round 3 will be a beauty with both Richmond and Melbourne looking for their first win.

I'll watch with interest to see how we respond both in vigour and also at the selection table but I don't expect to win until round 3.

Round 2 I'd like to see couch in, sellar in, drop davey, Green still a good player imo, early days demon fans, Neeld needs to keep turning players over to Casey and back again till he finds a competitive group. Tynan deserves another chance, not convinced with Bate.

Easy with the insults 'Dreamweaver' . The attempted merger is part of our history . Just because you don't find it interesting doesn't make you judge and jury no problem with that Macca, good that we all have an opinion and share some passion

hey numbskulls, start winning some games of footy and things like supporter bases will sort themselves out, can't believe some of you intellectuals are rabbiting on about the melb/hawks merger, it's 2012 guys!!

Nice work dee-luded, trouble is practise (the verb) is spelt with an s.

If we had won the last two convincingly would some scribes still be saying ýou can't read too much into the results of practice matches''

pretty ordinary, Jamar wins in the ruck and we still get smashed. Sylvia injured is not a bad thing, suggest we slot Magner in there. Yes we got jumped early but we still couldn't get back in the game with Port leading 4 goals in the first, 4g3 in the second, 5g5 in the third and 8 g 4 in the 4th. Did we run out og legs or the will to fight the game out?

Disappointed with foxtel, all matches live, dees vs hawks was not broadcast live, I watched it 9.30 Sunday morning!
