Round 1, 2010. The thought of it still hurts even the toughest of Melbourne supporters. After a great pre-season and draft for the Melbourne football club, which saw the likes of Tom Scully, Jack Trengove and Jordan Gysberts playing in the red and blue by seasons end, round 1 saw Melbourne lose to Hawthorn 8.13 (61) to 17.15 (117). A display that drew parallels to the Demons 2009 season.
However, this time around, Melbourne is coming off a spirited round 1 draw against Sydney, while Hawthorn were overrun by Adelaide at AAMI stadium. With All Australian defender James Frawley back in the team this weekend to most likely face Hawthorn star Lance Franklin, and 2nd year player Luke Tapscott playing a great game round 1 shows great signs for Melbournes season.
Tomorrow is a big day for Melbourne Football Club's season. 6 premiership points after 2 rounds and jumping the hurdle that tripped us up at the start of last season will send a definitive message to the rest of the AFL.
We are Melbourne. Watch Out.
