Oliver and Tomlinson with 50 percent efficiency not worthy in my opinion.

all mids and - for the most part - i thought we were beaten in the midfield!

but our forwards were terrible and our defenders were merely okay

it was a weird old game

1. Pickett (Because I enjoy watching him)


6 Hibberd - brilliant first half, although a couple of late errors with dispsoals. But great comeback game and proof that this is the year to keep swinging changes.

5 Gawn - tried his darndest and how good was his scoop up down back in 2nd term I think.

4 Viney - attacked the game full on and was penetrating with his run and kicking.

3 Petracca - dangerous all game, but forced to go forward when T.Mac got injured.

2 Oliver - worked hard, but couldn't get free and do any damage.

1 Hannan - a couple of nice grabs, couple of great pressure tackles. Nice to see him back.

I'm very surprised May isn't getting any votes.

I thought he was excellent. Good spoiling and positioning and hardly beaten in a contest. Was part of a defence that kept Geelong to 12 scoring shots from 38 entries. Usually when we play Geelong they have a high inside 50 efficiency but we kept them to a score we really should have been able to beat.

We made some defensive mistakes that led to goals which were very costly but in the main we defended our back 50 pretty well.

When you look at the number of times Blicavs got back and pressured and won the one-on-one battles, then you may realise that May's game was fairly ordinary again. Big Sav and TomaHawk were both dangerous all game. Hibberd and Smith were our best defenders, strange as it may seem.

I’m still struggling to give votes. I feel like there was plenty of poor efforts and disappointing day once again. Gawn, Viney, Hibberd, Brayshaw and May were okay. 

Very hard to give votes such an even contribution.

    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?
