    I don’t have the energy to pick 6 but I would have Frost in if I did.

    Anyone who can find 6 good players probably were lucky enough to find an unguarded  case of beer by the 10 min mark!

    But to put up 6 names I'll go with:

    Frost

    Pruess 

    Brayshaw

    Jones

    Jetta

    Melskam

    But this is really about who did something good rather than who played well

    6. Gus - Our best mid by a mile today

    5. Frosty - Our best back by a mile today

    4. Salem - Continues his good form.

    3. Viney - Fought like hell while being held without the ball, roughed up and generally scragged at every opportunity.

    2. Oliver - Got a lot of the ball.  Tackled hard.  Set up that opening goal with a pass that was pure [censored]. 

    1. Preuss - He's doing what we need him to do, providing a tall target forward and rucking a bit.  Even put in a few nice tackles.

    Put myself through the replay last night to check if my eyes weren't deceiving me and came up with following.

    6 Salem - Our only defender who regularly laid a tackle.

    5 Brayshaw - our only midfielder with the confidence to go forward - unlike Clayton who looks as if he is in fear of being tackled and flicks it off sideways/backwards nearly every time.

    4 Frost - The critics won't like it but there were no major howlers and he worked really hard on Bruce (two marks).

    3 Petracca - Yes he made mistakes, but he was our only lively forward all day and the only one who looked dangerous even if he ballsed it up on occasions.

    2 Hore - Plenty of intercepts and in general safe with his kicking.

    1 Viney - Huge first half trying to lift the guys.

    Preuss had some memorable moments early but faded again and big Max spanked Marshall, but the stat that worries me was just 11 pressure points.

    5 Brayshaw - our only midfielder with the confidence to go forward - unlike Clayton who looks as if he is in fear of being tackled and flicks it off sideways/backwards nearly every time.

    4 Frost - The critics won't like it but there were no major howlers and he worked really hard on Bruce (two marks). - - -  has some speed, - has a go

    3 Petracca - Yes he made mistakes, but he was our only lively forward all day and the only one who looked dangerous even if he ballsed it up on occasions. - only player who has had some Acid applied to him over Pre - season

    2 Hore - Plenty of intercepts and in general safe with his kicking. - a player worth watching, to see how he goes

    1 Viney - Huge first half trying to lift the guys. - playing under duress

    Preuss had some memorable moments early but faded again and big Max spanked Marshall, but the stat that worries me was just 11 pressure points. - gives some hope... but needs to do a lot of 2019 in-season, away from club distance running... to work his engine overtime.  He needs to be  MUCH  fitter for 2020.

     

     slow is out Now with 666.  unless they have special skills.

    Tom Mc and the Weid  zero points after 5 games, yet  huge no of inside 50’s in a number of our games. Don’t get how they couldn’t have 1 point with nearly a quarter of the season gone. Something fishy going on. TMac injured? Weid already got at?

    Mention to Fritsch. In a backline that is almost always on red alert he uses it every single time.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
