Still lots of kinks to sort out. Still a mile better than what we saw last year

yeh just looking at that, 2nd week now that Melbourne has had way more of the ball then there opponent.
I have no idea who the players were but that last free against the Dees was ridiculous... the Demons player went hard and puts his head over the ball, the bloke second to the ball runs into him on the ground and takes out his head. Who gets the free? Geelong, for the below the knees rule of course

Least this should dispell some of the Paul Roos myth which can only help Melbourne.
Look better but still a long way to go.

Has Watts ever won a hard ball in his life? Worst number one pick ever; total soft****.

Don't know about football ability, but he's just dumb. Absolute tool.
This has been far more entertaining than most of the snoozefests this pre-season has conjured up.
Melbourne to campaign for the supergoal in regular season, surely?

Solid effort lots to work on.
A lot of work to go for Melbourne but at least some positive signs.
Just have to realise that you go backwards once then take it forward. What we'd give for a gun kicking half back flank to just control things.
Watts' career starts now. We need his skill. As long as he starts to show some intensity to tackle and put his head over it we might get somewhere with him.
Hogan was great tonight. Add Dawes to provide that tandem and the ball movement will get better. It's not about having a key forward to take big grabs down the line it's about having the smart half forwards running to right spot. It will free up Howe to be another up the ground option.

Will be a minor miracle if we ever kick goals from outside 50 more than points in a game.
Was a strange wind. Made a lot of things harder but the players seemed to handle it well for goal kicking.
There were a couple of beauties kicked tonight, always interesting to see teams deal with a windy, open stadium these days.
This sneaky bastard! Why that smilie isn't on every forum in existence I'll never know.
pretty pleased by tonight.
coming from a long way back, but you can see the effort is there, and it makes all the difference.

Yeah damn him for committing to trying to take the mark only to get punched in the face by Smedts.
Agreed, I miss it so much.
Care to provide an example. He's not hard but he's getting better. Took a hit across the chops, maybe stayed down a bit longer than you'd like but got on with it eventually. Took a mark dropping back with the flight in the last quarter.

Yep and they actually looked like they knew what to do when they got the ball, which they haven't looked like for several years. Signs of hope for Melbourne for sure.

Hogan is a gun, and I still can't work out why they traded for Dawes.

Caddy looks like he's in for a breakout season.
Demons were very impressive, thought they'd put up a good challenge and they are starting to play with confidence and self belief. Get a few of their starters back in and with their fixture to start the season, could be a few wins right off the bat
