Goal: Christian Petracca!
Oh, what a snap! Great goal.
Melbourne have come to play today.
Today’s weather outlook
Goal: Harrison Petty this time
The under-fire Demon suddenly has two goals. We’ve gone about 17 minutes and the Dees are finding the scoreboard today. Game on.
Goal: Another one, Freo
Murphy Reid gets the board. Anyone unfamiliar with him? Go back a few weeks to Geelong v Freo when the youngster booted four goals in a quarter … a matter of minutes in fact.
THAT Bolton goal
Shai Bolton knows a thing or two about drilling difficult goals at the MCG, and this was no different – a mark and set-shot conversion from just inside the right boundary, about 40m from goal. Wow.
Goal: Shai Bolton for Freo
That’s three goals each. It’s a dynamic game so far. We saw Carlton score goals quickly yesterday. Both teams are in on the act so far at the home footy.
Pre-match joy for one fan
A hot start, Demons
After a shaky start, the Demons have got hot, booting three straight goals. Trent Rivers’ mark over Murphy Reid at half-forward, and subsequent goal, summed up a better connection in an area of the ground the Demons have struggled in. We will see if this lasts.
Goal: A third for the Dees
Trent Rivers joins the action. Melbourne have three goals in five minutes. It’s a cracking, fast-paced start at the MCG.
Goal: Petty for Melbourne
Harrison Petty puts the Demons into the lead.
Melbourne 2.0 (12) lead Fremantle 1.0 (6). Q1, 7.04 minutes
