It’s easy in such a loss to forget how immense Maxxy was - one of the most complete games I’ve seen from a ruckman in my nearly 60 years of watching footy. 

I also love watching Fritsch - the silkiest player we have had since dear old Tulip.

    I agree in part as I was thinking during the match how Max’s amazing performance was reminding so much of that other number 11 circa 1991. Jimmy was amazing in that year. It was a different game back then where he could get to many more contests than any modern day player could, but gee he was a one man force to be reckoned with in those years. And Jimmy is still the perfect prototype ruckman in today’s footy, tall enough, huge endurance, incredible resilience, great mark, reasonable kick.

    Good idea maybe you should have your own thread for this?

    Gawn deserves a 10. Everybody else is rated too high.

    Fritsch and Viney 6

    The rest 4 and below.

    And scary to think not only what would have happened against the Saints without Max but what would happen for the rest of the season if he went down. 

    On Sunday, it was as close to a one man team as you could get.

    Yep, and he's only played 58 games;,,, so he and ANB are excellent endurance players, who will learn as the play.  Still immature Re games played.

    Yes, he did, and he finally broke double figures for marks taken in a game; with 11 marks. finally.

    He had a great game,  Maxy.

     

    How assured is Fritsch with the ball in hand.

    That comment on Jetta is your lowest amd most disgusting yet

    He was not concussed, he had his lip split open

     

    You’re probably the most irritating person I’ve EVER met... and I’ve never met you?

    This reminds me a bit of the lyrics of this fantastic song (arguably the greatest Australian rock n roll song - ever)

    'you're my only friend - and you don't even like me'

    I find it interesting that we were actually a better side (defensively, at least) this time last year without Gawn or Hogan.

    Our mids has to work harder to win the centre clearances, but we did.

    Baffles me that we’ve gone backwards this year with key personnel back in the side.

    He is a gun. He is such a good kick. Compare his kicking 2 Hannan & Neal-Bullen

    Easily BOG for us Chook and his best game for the season.

    Fritschkrieg is certainly all class.  I just hope the others start catching a little of his kicking skills and accuracy.  Beautiful to watch.

    Jetta was definitely down on his previous form. Perhaps he still wasn’t 100% after the previous weeks headknock, hope he’s good to go this week.

    Jones - age catching up

    Viney - great when unburdened

    Fritsch - was all class

    Hogan - ten minute game

    Harmes - played with heart

    Brayshaw - prolific but wasteful 

    Lewis - often a liability

    Melksham - playing slow motion

    T.McDonald - was probably injured

    Neal-Bullen - an irrelevant player

    Petracca - plenty of nothing

    Tyson - a dumb player

    Weideman - nothing to commend

    Gawn - one man team

    Hannan - devoid of ability

    Hibberd - reduced to amateurish

    Oliver - rarely found space

    Petty - debut to forget

    Salem - undisciplined and disappointing 

    Smith - little to praise

    Jetta - was still concussed

    O.McDonald - was emphatically embarrassing 

     

    Too generous.

    • 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.
