Pert sounds too much like Robert Walls for my liking.

Wall was a Melbourne supporter as a kid.

Sparrow and Josh Wagner doing kick to kick. Sparrow in full Dees kit. Wagner in warm up gear.

Feels like we have a lot of weapons in the forward half now. Preuss looks like a handful and throw Joel Smith in there, there's a lot for the coaching staff to work with on top of what we already had.

Hunt has been impressive off half back. 

Really pleasing to see. Terrific game so far by Hunt. He looks really composed with ball in hand.

[brendan 3,437]

Agree on hunt looks a breath of fresh air breaking away off half back

Yep, in a game where, understandably, players having been getting up to speed, Hunt has been lowering his eyes quite well.

Pert interview interesting. 

Speaking about the stream he said fans want content, access and an inside perspective and they are going to provide that this year. Perhaps he hasn't sent the memo to his comms team yet but situation sounds positive

Unfortunately I don't think Jeffy and JKH will feature much in 2019. I hope I'm wrong. 

Bit hard on JKH, had plenty of touches and disposal has been ok.

Garlett showing bugger all so far.

[joeboy 3,166]

Hunt’s performance so far looks very encouraging.. the Hunt of old perhaps.

Have just dipped in and out of the Live Stream intermittently. Four players seem to be involved whenever I take a quick look - JKH, VDB, ANB and Hunt.  However, primarily because of the low angle of the cameras, it's almost impossible to work out whether their disposals are productive.

Perhaps a bit harsh but his disposal in a few instances just didn't hit the mark.

It is a fantastic atmosphere down here - I’d guess around up to 5000 here?

Really impressed by Trac and Harmes at ground level, JKH busy in the second term in particular, Preuss excellent in the air, and Hunt running hard but his kicking leaves a bit to be desired, Lewis and Hore very calm and composed down back

[Lucifers Hero 39,856]

Wouldn't mind seeing some camera work to show the set-ups at centre bounce under the new rules.

Also, how far can players run for the point kick ins?  I thought there was going to be a big 'square' around the traditional one.  Couldn't see any markings so will the umpires be guessing how far players run?  

On the new kick-in rule,  Max and Preuss doing well marking from the kick-ins.  It seems we have a set-up down field, depending on who kicks in.  I think we are working well with that new rule.

Goal to Smith. 

Dees by 17. 

[Richard Tionary 145]

I'm certainly not JKH's biggest fan but thought he has almost been our best today. Bobbing up everywhere and really clean. 

[The Chief 697]

Sparrow playing in the middle 

[Demonland 72,217]

Gus in everything this quarter. 

[Richard Tionary 145]

Hunty could be back.

[Mike 321]

That little checked kick by Hunt to find a target inside 50. He looks on this season. Would have blazed away previously.

[Demonland 72,217]

Putrid umpiring continues. 

[ding 5,126]

How great must it be to have facilities like these.

We really lag behind the comp big time in that regard. Hope our leadership fix this soon.

What a great training ground this is.

[Demonland 72,217]

Harmes goal. Dees up by 25 points. 

[whatwhat say what 22,773]

For a bloke who I thought might struggle for a regular senior spot, Lewis looks so calm and composed

I was going to mention this earlier. How we didn't get this is beyond me.
