Loved the comments from the Foxtel commentators late in the match when one of them said something to the effect that Melbourne are well and truly on the road to recovery. Then, one of the others responded with something like "Yeah, and it's a massive, six lane freeway...!"

Yep, the style of play i watched last night reminded me so much of the charge to the finals in 1987. This side could be way better in time.

Agree. Our game last night showed similar flair and confidence, but the 2010 version is more talented.

A six lane autobahn straight from goal to goal, with no detours. We owned the corridor last night. When Brisbane dared enter, they were slammed by 1, 2, or 3 Melbourne players, or there was a spoil as they moved forward. Yeeha!

The next step is to tighten up a bit more defensively. I'm not talking about the backline. When the other team hesitates out wide, we've got to get a little better at shutting down the zone and moving in for the kill. Far better to force a boundary throw in than have to defend the long bomb at the top of the square.

Two more exciting quotes from yesterdays match;

"The young and exciting dees!"

&

"The transition Kings!!" The transition KINGS!!! I loved that!! We havent been the Kings of anything over the last couple of years.. now all of a sudden we are the transition kings!! GOTTA LUV THAT ONE!!

How good is it? All of a sudden we are taking hydro spas and cooling down after wins etc... we havent had this much good publicity for a while.. what else, I can say I support the dees without the inevadiable sigh that usually accompanies that statement.... bloody beaut!

Love it- Anyone watching 7? See the highlights package- Bruce, overcommits on the handball, goes over recievers head- fortune has it that the ball bounces correctly and receiever runs right onto it- but this would still show up as an 'efficient stat', and this is what people are talking about...
