Oliver - outstanding but rushed

Petracca - couldn’t maintain performance

May - a powerful performance 

Melksham - took his chances

Lever - tight and reliable

Harmes - performance from hell

Lockhart - looked totally lost

Hibberd - great first half

Bennell - a liability today

Brayshaw - continued disappointing season

Weideman - promising but amateurish

Fritsch - had no influence

    Weiderman A fine line 

    He kicks 2 or 3 goals and its a great game, absolutely shanked all 3 shots

    Very harsh on Lockhart. He was actually pretty good tonight. Secured his spot for next week.

    Goal Review System - Cost us dearly.

    Yeah, we made a lot of mistakes and so did they but we were out and away when Lever took that mark.

    Surely that review takes place while the game goes on and if it's not a mark then they bring it back...

    Harsh on Fristch. Flew at everything. 6 touches , 4 score involvements, 2 goals. 

    very limited opportunities after quarter time

    Why are our ratings always so negative  ?? We were playing a top side tonight and with reasonable kicking at goal we would have won !!!!

    Yes that hurt and someone has said it was the field umpire who called for the review, not the goalie! Is that true, if so it’s criminal. I will have to watch the replay tomorrow when I have calmed down. So many squandered opportunities with missed set shots and then a number of [censored] umpiring decisions, I need to review again to understand.

    Pretty sure it was the goal umpire 'Earl'...either way it shouldn't have happened.

    Even when you review you won't understand some of the umpiring decisions...I had a look multiple times at the first Pickett unfair tackle and it was a bump straight in the guts.

    15 metre kicks were so inconsistent that even the commentators were joking about it.

    You guess is as good as mine on any holding the ball decision, I reckon they toss a coin on that one.

    Hocking has stuffed the game...umpires have lost all confidence.

    Quite a few decisions against us tonight that were seemingly not unanimous, overruled or just not picked up at all, but we were playing against a Team that has to be given every chance to feature in a packed sell out come GF Time.....

    Agree I like the way Lockhart is going about it. Yes he makes mistakes but he takes the game on and the the way he moves sets up attacking counter attacks. The best thing is he seems to be getting better with every game and I hope he retains his willingness to attack.

    Lockhart definitely better than suggested and I thought Langdon was good, despite being one who missed a gettable set shot.

    Have to agree. Also I was at game and he made some good positions when we had ball and our guys would not kick to him. Strange.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
