    Have you ever seen a better performance from a Full Back? Maybe a handful of Scarlett games.

    Beats his opponent and wins the footy and rebounds 

    5 Lever - great marks  and spoils and smart tonight

    4 Petracca - his goals were the difference. Gd looked cooked and out of sorts but willed himself on 

    3 Langdon- run and run and run and wins the footy, an excellent game 

    2 Rivers - showed maturity beyond his years, smart and composed and quick and skilled 

    1 Salem - important possessions and good run, he is very important 

    apologies to Weid Clarry, Maxy and Hibbo until injured.

    Apologies to Rivers.  That second half was a beauty from the 5th game rookie.

    4. Oscar McDonald

    3. May (but only coz Oscar was there to make him look good)

    2. TMac for being the brother who got us OMac

    1. The rest of the team can share this point (for all being aboard the OMac train)

    Oliver and Viney unlucky not to get votes from me. Viney did a great job on steele after half time and Oliver was a bull at the stoppages all day long. Richard Wagner was actually fairly good on return after being a bit fumbly early.

    Somewhat surprised that the Weid is so far down the list.  Is one of the form forwards of the comp and his contribution to team structure has been very important to us.  Perhaps another case of awards voting not being a true reflection of player value.

    He’s averaging around two goals a game but every week he’s more or less at that average and he’s also having a lot of games where he’s out of the action for periods which isn’t conducive to getting the big voting scores.

    5. Petracca

    4. Langdon (great either end of the ground)

    3. Salem (composed game)

    2. Gawn (back line intercept marks)

    1. Viney (for his tag on Steele)

     

    The whole back line played well, OMac, Lever, Hibberd, Rivers, even Jones.

    I also thought that Spargo, Melky, Brown and Weid, all had important touches or moments. Pickett will be fantastic, creates uncertainty for the opposition. 

    That last half of football was the most intense and strong willed from Melbourne that I can remember.  Not greatly skilled perhaps but what a game, and we won a close one....

     

    Go Dees

    • 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.
