6 - Viney. Almost gave it to Gawn but Viney was unbelievable with his attack on the footy from half time. He did everything possible to make sure we didn’t lose.

5 - Gawn. Immense game and has been in awesome form. 

4 - Salem. Awesome first half and really set the tone with some aggression and clean entries.

3 - Petracca. Would have probably been BoG if he didn’t kick at like 40% efficiency. Clutch goal though at the end.

2 - Langdon. I felt some of his hard running really helped us get into great position.

1 - AvB. His second half was huge and won a heap of crucial contests.

Apologies to Hibbo who continued his excellent form.

6 GAWN, Best Captains game in I can’t remember

5 VINEY, Getting some sleep after new bub obviously helps, fair dinkum he cops merde on this site.

4, LANGDON, his run was good when we lost momentum at times.

3, OLIVER, really strong 4 qtrs

2, SALEM, best game in a long time

1, Can raffle this, but Omac great job tonight, felt like the missing piece of the puzzle he made MAy and Lever better.

6. Gawn - used everything in his bag of tricks other than a grab 30 out. Ruck work and marking all over the ground immense.

5. Viney - bull, with much improved ball use this week.

4. Petracca - poor ball use lowers his ranking but his contested efforts were big again and as far as I was concerned, all was forgiven with the mark and goal in the last quarter. The Petracca of old, after a day of poor ball use wouldn’t have had the mental fortitude to calm down and nail that goal, which sucked the energy out of our opposition and in to ourselves. Coming of age.

3. Oliver - lessons learned from last week. Just awesome.

2. Salem - ball use really important, especially in the first half.

1. Langdon - I just love the way this guy runs, haven’t seen anything like it in MFC colours in ages. He is untackleable. 

Also enjoyed the games of Hibberd, Hannan, Vanders, Weid and OMac.

Have to say that whilst I didn’t give him a vote, Oscar McDonald played probably his best game for the Dees. He nullified Sam Day and actually ran a few times to rebound the footy. Still got lead feet in marking contest. Last night was the expected standard.  I felt with Day and King, May & Oscar combo worked better.  Allowed Lever to play intercept.  I saw some people gave Lever in the votes.  Not in my top 10.  Marginally better but still too easily pushed aside in marking contests. 

 

6. Gawn. This is how captains play.

5. Viney. Great ex captain's game. Reformed man, looking to where he wants to go.

4. Langdon. Love the way he enjoys his footy. 

3. Lever. Best game for a long time.

2: Salem. At it all night.

1: vandenBerg. Awesome ferocity.

Oscar and May and Hibberd were good as well.

  • 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.
