Melbourne finally put the score on the board

'It should be a bit of fun I think': Jack backs Dees' attack

Jack Watts and Adam Treloar among the likes, Brendon Goddard and Ryan Griffen among the dislikes as Robbo runs rule over Round 1

Paul Roos rapt with Melbournes attacking style to sink Gold Coast

Then there's this gem of a review from Supermercado on Demonblog - Reclaim Round 1

Everyone should read Supermercado's review. It's long, but it's good.

1. Jack Watts

Skipper Nathan Jones said on Channel Nine yesterday that Watts had to be “hit up’’ over the past couple of years, and I’m presuming it to be about is work ethic and attitude.

Leading teams in action do you think? A bit of peer to peer, face to face review from players and coaches?

Yes. The guy is a bloody legend.

Between his amazing, unsung work on Demonwiki and his Every Day is Sunday blog he is easily my favourite read. Hats off to him

Agreed. Very entertaining read. Loved this line...

"In fact it got to the point where I even started to enjoy that unfamiliar feeling when you're sick in the stomach at being so far in front that it would be embarrassing to lose but you're not confident your side can hold on."

hahah

"There was such a carnival atmosphere that even the trumpeteer was wheeled out of the morgue to play during the last quarter. They must have found a cure for 10,000 stab wounds to the back. Is it the same guy who used to wear the velvet jacket and once hit an amazing bum note during the music from Star Wars which provided the perfect metaphor for the Schwab years? Is it also possible that he was sitting there for four quarters at every home game in 2014 waiting to get a run only for us to win nowt but away games?"

FMD I just realised this thing is nearly 7800 words long. This bloke is an animal

Honest, brutal and very, very funny. So many great parts that it seems a shame to highlight just one. But I'll do that anyway.

Garlett's game was a joy - he plays like somebody driving at 200km/h on a wet road with the same mix of near disaster and thrilling edge-of-your-seat moments. He looked nervous early on, and that first set shot was a shambles, but as he started to chill out and enjoy himself The Big Steal from Carlton started to look even more like the deal of the 21st century. How good was his goal straight out of the middle after we'd just conceded one? It's usually us who have an almighty struggle to get one goal on the board then hand it back 13 seconds later - what divine glory it was to see it happen the other way for once.

That was bloody good. Bloke knows his way around a keyboard.

Best football writer in the game. You need 20 minutes to read his reviews but they always are shot on and sum up being a Melbourne supporter perfectly.

His review of the smashing by Essendon at night a few years ago (round 2, 2013) is one of the best I've read.

And I just realised that team only had 8 payers who played this Saturday. Amazing list turn around.

Supermercado is an excellent writer.

And it is amazing how much of the team has changed in 18 months...
