6 Gawn - he dominated like he should have. Main thing I am happy with is the amount of ball he is getting around the ground.

5 Vince - 30+ again. A lot of hack kicks but where would we be without him

4 Jones - Again broke the tag and tried to really hard to turn the game

3 Dunn - Keeps the opposition forwards quite. Going really well

2 Cross - Goddard was killing us. Then Cross killed him

1 Watts - he's just clean. When we were coming he was the one getting us there (and then he stopped...)

Only omitted Jones because of some of his atrocious turnovers.

6. Gawn - Showed how much Essendon needs a true ruckman. Safely now our No.1.

5. Vince - Plenty of quick kicks and missed a sitter in third but how dominant does he look at the moment,

4. Jones - brilliant second term when we should have cleared out but missed a couple of goals that he'd normally get - albeit not easy ones.

3. Vandenberg - our only small forward who seemed capable of turning his opponent inside out and tackled hard as always.

2. Tom Mac - His kicking let him down but at least he won the footy. One shocking quarter on Daniher doesn't mean you had a shocker.

1. Lumumba - Always helping out and took the game on - something most others didn't seem to want to do.

Cross?- Was I at another game or are the early votes for him from TV viewers. It was his worst game this year. However I have him in my top five B&F this year, so I am a huge fan and want him to continue next season.

6 - Vince ( continued AA form )

5 - Dunn ( never looked like being beaten)

4 - N.Jones ( not his best , but effective)

3 - Gawn ( prolific first half )

2- Viney ( curtailed Heppell for the most part)

1- vandenBerg ( we can see it happening but he's not there yet )

Teach T McD to kick and I'll give him votes.

Agree 100%. While he's good at getting the ball, his disposal was so poor I thought he was a net liability on the day.

Can't believe how some have been critical of Gawns game saying that his hitouts weren't influential. The midfield take time to adapt to his style.

The same was said about Sandilands not too long ago. He is rapidly becoming one of our most important players especially now he is clunking contested marks and accumulating possessions.

That is a fairly select group chook we don't have too many important players.

He is going better than I thought he was capable of in the last few games.

He palmed quite a few over his head which only seemed to go to Essendrug I could not work out if our midfielders were missing the intention or he had no idea where he was supposed to be directing them.

Excellent first half but the Bombers played him differently in the second half particularly the third quarter.

It sure as hell was not his fault we lost.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
