The siren sounds at the MCG, and that has been a pretty solid first quarter for Melbourne.
They hold a 17-point lead at the first break, but it could have been a bit more to be honest.
At least the Blues have got on the board, and they will need a lot more from Francis Evans and Harry McKay and others.
Right now the Demons are in control, but they haven't broken this game open just yet.
Another quarter like that, however, and Carlton could be in a world of pain.
The Blues have been outplayed here, but they get a chance late in the quarter. Francis Evans gets a free on half-forward.
He drills a kick to left forward pocket, where Harry McKay gets a free for a hold by Daniel Turner.
Blues fans have something to cheer about, and the lead is back to 15 points.
We're inside time on in the opening term, and teh Blues are yet to register a goal.
Melbourne sense more chances, and they are raising the intensity again. Some ferocious fights for the footy on the wing, and then the Dees get it inside 50 and the Blues tackle for their lives.
But they can't hold back the tide. Another turnover allows the Dees's Jake Melksham to find Max Gawn – and Mr "I Own The All Australian Team" goes back and slots it!
The Dees lead by 21 points, with under five to go in the first term.
