Are we allowed to phone a friend and use the 50/50 option?

 

6.Oliver wasn't as clean as usual but gave his all for 4 quarters and one who tackled

5. Salem like Clarrie had a crack and used it well  (one of a few)

4. Jones was given a job and did it

3. Omac did a decent job on Roughie who got a couple late

2. Gawn won the contest with [censored] boy and was let down by our poor handling at the drop of the ball

1. Hogan we were that bad after the first quarter Im going that far back was dominant early 

 


Petracca 

The other 21. 

6 Oliver- easily our best with 30 touches and 10 tackles.  Didnt quite dominate but tough when you are Pat Malone.

5 Jones - sacrificed his own game and did a solid job on Mitchell. Still got some of it. 

4 OMac - our best defender, rarely beaten.  His attacking thrusts didn't use the best option. 

3 Hogan - 24 touches and a goal as a forward in a team that was beaten. Should have been used on the ball. 

2 Salem - Great disposal at times, tried hard, not many other options. 

1 Kent - Raffle this point. At least Kent had a good first quarter with 3 goals before he disappeared. Gawn won hit outs but we didn't get an advantage and he missed the goal the started the rot. ANB did some nice things. Brayshaw had great endeavour and will better for the run. 

 

6. Oliver

5. O McDonald

4.Jones

3. Gawn

2. Petracca

1. Hogan


6. Oliver - we are pinning our future on this boy. We might need someone to help him. 

5. Salem - all starting to click. His pressure around the ball is outstanding. Building something here. 

4. Gawn - McEvoy is no longer in consideration for All Australian. 

3. McDonald - he is starting to look really important. Wonder how much of this is development / having Lever there. 

2. Hogan - I just don’t know if I’d prefer his 25+ touches or him to stay deep and kick goals. 

1. Jones - he beat Mitchell but highlighted the class diffenence between the 2.

Assume this a gag? He was average at best

O Mac

I abstain

Omac 

Oliver

Salem

Gawn 

That's it.


6- Omac

5- Viney (he would’ve given something today)

hmmmmm

4- Oliver

3- Salem maybe

2- ANB

1- Kent i guess

[censored]

Personally think these votes should be given 50% weighting - there's no way 6 this week is worth the same as in other weeks.

I digress.

6 - Omac

5 - Salem

4 - Jones

3 - Hogan

2 - Oliver

1 - Aaand I'm out 

6 - Hogan (How is a full forward, our second highest possession getter?)

5 - O.Mc (Worked Roughy well)

4 - Kent (His early game gets him here)

3 - Oliver (Good, but definitely can be better).

2 - Fritsch (Didn't get a lot, but didn't stop having a crack at the hard stuff).

1 - Neil-Bullen (One of the few to not stop running, covered a lot of ground).

 

That was a hard one.

Too many 6/10 footballers who rarely figure in these votes. Top sides don’t have too many 6/10 footballers.

6 - Oliver

5 - Gawn

4 - McDonald

3 - Salem

2 - Jones

1 - Hogan

Dear oh dear that was very hard to watch today and there was a very good turnout of MFC supporters at The Gee to witness another hit and run disaster after half time. We broke down all over the ground...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


6 OMac

5 Hogan

4 Oliver

3 Gawn

2 Brayshaw

1 Salem

6 GAWN

5 HOGAN

4 JONES

3 O.MCDONALD

2 KENT

1 NEAL-BULLEN

 

6 - Oliver

5 - Gawn

4 - Salem

3 - Jones

2 - Hogan

1 - Oscar

Calmed down just enough to give this a bash

6. Oliver - Just your standard Oliver game. 11 tackles showed that he was one of the few to continuously hit the Hawks hard.

5. OMac - Who would've thought that with the likes of Jetta, Hibberd and now Lever in our backline, we'd be saying that Oscar has been our best defender so far in 2018? 

4. Gawn - Set a club record for most hit outs in a game with 66. Massive effort. Its just a shame that Hawthorn read his taps better than the players who trained with him all pre-season.

3. Hogan - Was everywhere in the first quarter with 12 touches and a goal. 

2. Jones - By no means a massive game statistically but was able to shut down Mitchell for most of the match.

1. Kent - Played the quarter of his life before fading into near obscurity. Still encouraging signs though.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
