    Pretty good summary. Appreciate your recognition of Brayshaw. Was a big part of our early dominance.

    I love Salo, been a fan for a long time, but I wouldn't call 7 turnovers and 3 clangers from 17 touches "efficient".

    Agree 100% I hate his little dinky kicks and handballs. He needs to deliver long 50 yard kicks to someone in a good position. He has the kick in him to deliver longer. Just wish he would.

    I don't rate the assessment of Spargs, who I thought was at his excellent best.

    Far too generous on Viney. He was horrendous. 5 free kicks against! I repeat 5! Many of them holding the ball.  

    Must be close to getting dropped now. He plays dumb football.

    Viney - Thinks he's Judd

    Harmes - Thinks he's Dusty

    ...bit harsh as they had their positives but this is what I was thinking when watching them overdo it.

    An otherwise pleasurable game to watch apart from these brain fades and a period I think at the end of the 2nd (maybe 3rd) where we went into luxury (s...a...) mode.

    I was born in 1980 my first words as a baby were mum, dad and Robbie Flower.

    Let's see how the finals play out this year.

    I am hoping Oliver goes to legend status at Melbourne

    If we win( or when we win) the 23 plus all the balance of players and  coaches and FD and Board will all be legends!!

    Then the status can be apportioned in sounder and saner times!!!

    If we make the GF I'd be recommending to every single Demonland poster and reader to back Oliver for the Norm Smith.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
