You get a like from me but I suggest you do a spell check on this lest you incur the wrath of one of our more uppity posters -

This game represented what a man with a vision and a man with a reputation bigger than Ber-Hur come together and fuse a successful off-field structure with on-field belief.

The AFL website report:

The Roos revolution: Demons start with a win

And one from the Herald Sun:

Melbourne draftee Jay Kennedy-Harris kicked three goals as the Demons shocked Richmond

Mind you, they're a bit behind the times with Lynden Dunn whose trademark "mo" went quite some time ago along with his move out of the forward line.

Never seen such ferocity, ball movement and a willingness to RUN to back and forth to get numbers to a contest. I was amazed at how we were handballing from one to the other within the tight contest and then free up movement to generate a clearance and deprive the opposition of possession.

Looking at Jay I am suprised that he is only 68kg's. Promising debut.

That would have been when he was drafted, he would be a few kilograms heavier now.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

My name is Gorgoroth and I enjoyed a MFC game...

It's only been one night but I think I may be on the road to recovery.

I expect here will be lapses but I'll stay on the path as best as I can.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Clearances

Vince 5

Tyson 4

Cross 4

13 we wouldn't have won last year.

With a functioning midfield and some fit forwards we will worry a few sides.

NB: Tyson will end up our best clearance player.

Stuck out for me also. We had players around the contest who did not panic and continued to be creative and create options.

Also the almost complete absence of long kicking.

Did you hear that Bernie vince was stuck in traffic at flinders st before the game, had to dump his car, run a kilometre, catch a tram and arrive at the warmup 45 minutes late.

This guys gonna be a gem for us.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

What I loved about last nights games, was not the form of new additions but the form of Dunn Trengove Pedersen etc. And the not kicking to stationary targets.

[beelzebub 23,369]

Isnt it amazing what you can accomplish when coached in the how of doing something and given clear instructions as to implementation.

Whod have thunk !!

We now have professionals in charge where only amateurs reigned previously.

True? That's gold if so.

Yes true, he tweeted it himself.....i think he is going to be our most important acquisition.

Skills and composure were sensational last night.

I don't understand how a team can let a player like Vince go.

[Hannibal 5,814]

I don't understand how a team can let a player like Vince go.

If you read the views of Adelaide supporters they say he'd coasted for 2-3 years and that the Vince who played last night was quicker, slimmer and had more intent than their recent version.

He's had a kick up the backside and with his inherent talent will be huge for the club this year.

On last nights form we got a bargain.

[hulkhogan666 142]

On form last night, even without key players such as Garland, Watts (??????), Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Viney, etc, I'm confident we'll beat Saints Rnd 1.

[Biffen 12,943]

Was not near a tv but I heard the twits on mmm say Bail was hitting targets and Pederson and Nicholson were reversing into packs.can anyone verify these things?

[sydneydee 687]

Bail played well with a couple of very average set shots. Pedo and Nicho both played with intent and took a couple of big hits
