What about the constant replays and coverage of Dew sitting on the bench during live play. Pathetic!

Sheeeit Thanks for setting me straight ! I thought I was watching Star Wars and Jabda the Hutt and had my channels had somehow discombobulated!

Who needs Viney anyhow?

Super happy with that win and the improvement that I have seen over the year. Viney back next week and another big step forward for this group. Hopefully even demonlanders can be happy with where this is headed and enjoy the ride. Both of this site's favourite whipping boys produced pretty good performances (Harmes was virtually BOG), not sure who is going to have to make way for Viney now.

Was glad to have a convincing win instead of winning by 5 goals after coasting through the last quarter. Gold Coast were poor though so next week will be a much harder test.

Brayshaw is such a good centre square player. His ability to kick 45-50 off either foot and one step means his clearances have maximum effectiveness.

Also Bayley Fritsch had 26 possessions. Not the best on the ground by any stretch but he's already showing he's not gonna be just a low possession, high impact player. He's better that that.

Trying to think of the last time a team kicked in excess of 140. Just sayin. A momentum builder today 

[Pates 9,536]

Is it bad that I’m disappointed we didn’t get the inside 50s record? Like seriously why did we go backwards with a minute to go with 69 point lead? 

All that aside it was really good to see us put a team to the sword and get some much needed %. It was also a bit of a announcement to the competition, if/when things click for us we can score big. 

We were inaccurate and wasteful at times tonight and we still won by 69 points. 

Great to see Brayshaw back up his excellent game last week with another really good performance, Salem also slotted back in really well, Lewis was a cool head and played a great game. But the standout performances for me were Clarry, Gawn, and TMac (although he had a very quiet last quarter). 

Great to see us have a big win. Blues next week who might be up and about after their first win. Big chance to build something this season now.

We went backwards with a minute to go because we had a 69 point lead.

I can't recall the last time Melbourne dominated a team in the way they did tonight from start to end in every aspect other than on the scoreboard. Eventually it showed on the scoreboard as well, but it really should have been close to a 100 point belting. Hard to complain after a win , but we've still got areas we can tidy up which will hopefully make us contenders rather than being also rans like we were last year.

Tmac  is  a machine.

I tipped him for 6 here. He let me down.

Went to the game and surprisingly bought good tickets. 

Good to see a win by a big margin for a change. 

Go dees.

Round 22 last year. Tiges thumped Freo.

There have been a lot of 130s in there

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Anyone know how many possessions Tyson had in the last quarter?

[Deestroy All 14,261]

Who needs Gaff when you’ve got Fritzl. Stick him anywhere and he’d do a job. Hope he doesn’t find AFL too easy and sticks around for a while.  

Draw a line from wing to wing, do not let Tomald cross it. What a gun forward. Hey @DeeSpencer

Loved Harmes’ effort. I’m not comfortable when he has it, but I admire his work rate. Playing important minutes. 

ANB was a lot cleaner, still nowhere near last year’s form. 

Hogan’s worst game with just the lazy 3 goals. 

Loved Salem’s game. 

We should just kick 8 goals a quarter every quarter I reckon.

When we kicked 8 goals and had full momentum? I’m guessing close to none. 

[Demon_spurs 1,658]

When was the last time we won 4 in a row?

That's what I was getting at.

I didn't notice him much in the last quarter.

I like good Tyson.

Will be 5 in a row next week and that would be a while.

Good Tyson has been rarely sighted since 2014.
