Well bugger me, we've drafted a kid that knows how to play football

Grimes been very good.

Great courage by pedo back with the flight.

These Boys are on...can they keep it up???

A thing of note for us this season is the ability of our team to push the opposition into the wrong spots to score in their fwd 50. Dunn pushing Pods who didnt shoot at goal was a good example.

Pedo is very courageous,

Sounds like we're struggling to clear it from defence at the moment.

Really hoping we can hold on for what's left of the quarter to keep this nice buffer and our confidence going into the break.

PED!!! Good.

Great quarter by the boys.

I love how Roo is trying to play us down saying this can happen if you sleep on Melbourne.

Roo is overrating Adelaide massively, they've hardly been consistent - or dominant, they are in the bottom tier.

Hope we embarrass them now.

Just checked the scores ! What's happening we just on or what?

Pedo has guts

Can we keep this up?

Best quarter of football we have played in years. We will be up and down but whenever you have doubt as to where we are heading go back and watch that quarter. Salem just has "IT".

Disposals 87-106

Clearances 7-11

Inside 50 11-13

Contested possessions 32-40

Tackles 18-21

We're winning all of those stats. And it's in Adelaide.

I can't remember the last time I felt this good/positive at quarter time of any interstate game.

And, we've done it all with Nathan Jones having just 3 touches!

Shame JKH couldn't sink that (relatively) easy goal but still what a quarter. That's got to be our best opening quarter in Adelaide in over a decade!

Everyone is working really hard, the trick will be whether they can keep it up for the whole game.

this is beautiful to watch

Please keep it up boys

Just checked the scores ! What's happening we just on or what?

Our structures a really good, and for the first time in history our spare man back is actually working for us.

I'll stop bagging watts if he brings this every week!

Adelaide will come back, it's just a matter of how well Melbourne handles it and if they can keep attacking like they did in the first quarter.

Really liking JFK and Salems game. Both are doing all the right things.

Loved Watts tackle and then later his goal.

Vince doing a great job on Danger after N Jones started on him.

Who's on Jones? Very, very quiet.

This.

The rest of the game may turn out to be less than ideal, who knows. But if it does, I hope we can all come back to this quarter as proof of the direction we are heading in and the fact that we are beginning to assemble a team that can actually play AFL.

If Watts keeps this up, ill be damned.

this is all i want from him

Pedo and Grimes very courageous in first. Salem's goal was great for him and the team. Watts running hard, chasing and tackling. Is this really the Melbourne Footy Club I'm watching? Good stuff.
