Demon Jack

Rivers unloads from outside 50 from a tight angle! 105 - 46

Hopefully a sign of things to come as Gawn and Grundy kick back to back goals. Grundy gets a lucky bounce and kicks his first in the Demon colours.

Bowey big tick. His kicking was a bit off early but he's worked his way into he game beautifully. His body work in contests has been a huge standout.

Goalkickers for those interested 2 to Petracca. Singles to Brown, Hunter, Pickett, Chandler, ANB, TMac

Trac bombs another one straight from the centre clearance as the second period comes to an end. Demons lead 54-15

Saints losing some structure here. TMac kicks his first after Brown's set shot falls short. 48-15

Maxy nearly re-enacts his legendary 55m Prelim goal. Nearly floats through for a goal but not quite.

Viney drills the pass and finds Chandler who converts. Demons lead 42-15

Brayshaw playing defense at the moment.

Bowey having a seriously impressive 10 or so minutes

Didn't realise we had Tom Petty lining up in the red and blue today.

Spargo picks out the needle in a haystack that is ANB (been impressive so far) who slots it! Demons leading 34-13

Sparrow marks the rushed St Kilda kick out of defence but hits the post.

Kozzy doing it all over the ground at the moment

Bowey with a lovely defensive mark.

Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

Early thoughts - Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal. - Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual. - TMac imposing early. - Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes. - McVee had a couple of nice moments.

Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

Saints starting to control the game a bit. Have had the last several entries to no real success.

Bowey looks a bit rusty with his ball use so far. Took a nice 1 on 1 mark earlier though.

Hunter with his first in the red and blue!

Brown with a nerve settler. Ball use inside 50 impressive so far! Dees lead 8-6 8 minutes in

Most of the play so far has been in Melbourne's forward half aside from the opening 30 seconds

Hunter has had it about 5 times already. Early missed shots from Chandler and Trac and TMac

Word has it that this guy will do the rounds at half time.
