Brodie Grundy dominated in an ominous statement from the star ruckman to help the Swans down Melbourne by 22 points in the season opener, 12.14 (86) to 9.10 (64).
Isaac Heeney was also enormous for the Swans in an on-ball role as John Longmire’s side exploded with eight goals in the second half to put the game away.
After a promising first half, Melbourne tired from there despite a massive showing from Jack Viney in the midfield and four goals from Bayley Fritsch.
