The timing of his jump and sheer reach is awesome. He's looking good.

Brayshaw still off getting assessed for concussion 

I reckon he’ll get subbed off. It was a clear ground hit and mcclugge should get suspended. Should have been a free and yet they pay the cheap one to the Lions 5 seconds later which results in a goal.

Pizz Melksham of for good !!Game should be beyond doubt

C'mon mate, he's completely shut down Harris Andrews that quarter. 

[DubDee 24,438]

Great quarter. Trac dominating like we know he can. 

12 inside 50’s for 8 scoring shots. is this really melbourne?! you

Poor clearance work late.

Why does it often Gawn wins the hit out but the balls finds only opposition players...

Is it the position of our mids around the ruck contest?

Uneducated post. Melksham could have had 3 goals.

[layzie 32,938]

Clearance work in the first 10 mins was first class. Need to not overthink it 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,432]

May has to tighten up on Daniher who looks like he might have one of those ‘on’ nights. 

Really like what Melk brings. Has looked dangerous, will be even better if he kicks a few. But love the contribution, gets to the right spaces as always.  

[DaveyJones'sLocker 641]

Great first quarter , felt like Brisbane slowly got into the game hopefully we can put it to bed early.

Is that the one when he tapped that one straight to the Lions player after our last goal.

What’s wrong with the old ‘Jeff White’ thump it forward hit out?

[ElDiablo14 4,933]

Brisbane got too much reward in that Q1. Melbourne clearly dominated the contest.

[DubDee 24,438]

if Milkshake could kick straight - eg score a snap from 15m directly in front 

We’d be 5 goals up

[dee-tox 4,835]

Hot start, could have been hotter with Melksham kicking a couple extra. Would love to blow them away now and then defend for the second half.

Really he got a kick after that play 

[Emerald 1,744]

That was nice to read a GameDay thread for a quarter without a meltdown.

[leave it to deever 17,462]

Nice dumping tackle on Gus not picked up by umps.

This!

Just get the ball out of the way when there is less than 30 seconds... It's a no brainer.

Sometimes we try to be too perfect.

I’m probably one of the few liking Milkshakes game and role. One free kick wasn’t there against Harris-Andrews as the body work was to assist the mark.

His one wood is his kicking so I’m backing him to slot more than he misses although he should have at least one on the board.

Absolutely, looks engaged and involved in the game doing some really nice things 

[Gunna’s 2,102]

Bowser!!!

[Chook 14,998]

How was that kick from Petracca. This move into the forward line seems to have rejuvenated him a bit, he's so much more dynamic.

[dazzledavey36 52,884]

Wow!
