Dominated that quarter. Should be ahead by more. Really impressed though.

be interesting to see how we go against the breeze

Pleasing start.

It was good to hear Dwayne make excuses for the Western Bulldogs by claiming that Melbourne only had three best 22 players missing then massively backtrack by claiming that Jetta wasn't best 22.

 

Kicking skills have been super impressive for the first game of the pre season

Very much so.  I expect a few missed kicks and the Dogs to get their running game going, will be a good test for us defensively.

oh captain my captain with a brilliant goal from the boundary

Great kick. Confess I wouldn't have had money on that .

They make a big diff over the season, getting those snags !

Anyone who has a broadcast handy or at the ground, I'm particularly interested in seeing if there is any noticable difference to the mobility of the 'sore warriors' who played hurt last season, like VDB and of course Jones.

Like these 'away' jumpers too

Looks like Melbourne 

Great start after a ripping kick out of the back half from Melksham!  So good to watch!

What a kick by Melksham.

wowza that was some slick ball movement

Hard to tell with jones. He has a bulldog coloured jacket at the moment.

Clayton Oliver has the quickest hands I've ever seen.

cloke is just leading tommy mac up the ground every time.

Need Frost.

Tom McDonald just turned it over twice.  Not having the best of starts.

We need to get the ball into Jayden Hunt's hands more. They have no one that can catch him.

There's no middle ground for McDonald and Vince. When they do stupid things, your heart stops and you want to hurt someone.

WWWWEEEEEEEIIIIDDDDD

That was a big grab. Great signs by Weideman. Good pin point kick by Petracca.

WEEDS!

Wow. Great contested grab from Weeder.

Big jump, long arms and good hands.  Will hold him in good stead!

With the game plan of quick ball movement, TMc could cost us a few goals again this year with his disposal. The second one was terrible.

Lewis would be loving the tap work from Maxie but hating some of the skills.

Weid! Leads at the pill so damned well.

great grab, smooth run up, average kick
