He had a couple of neat taps to Viney when he had very modest opposition. 26 hitouts is not a huge tally. Only four marks, all on the wing I think. He played well, but so did the other players receiving (serious) votes. Noted that several others have left Max out of their votes.

Except for the big contested mark against Daniher in the centre of the ground late in the game which directly resulted in the Fritsch goal from the square (mark>Brown>to the square where Fritsch snapped a goal).  And then the intercept spoil from Hibberd's miskick which resulted in Hunt's goal in the last.  10 hitouts to advantage, 7 score involvements.  Quantity and quality is a constant argument with ruckmen and you'll note Essendon are not a big stoppage team, hence the lower than usual number of hitouts.

To all those who have supported Spargo, today he was an absolute spud. I was at the game and he ran in circles. Completely lost. 

6 Langdon - run run run  all day 

5 Brown - provided a target and worked hard to provide a contest. Cannot believe we left him out for so many games 

4 Lever- spolied and marked anything that went his way. Often on Tipungwati which was a coaching mistake but he was able to defend all day 

3 Salem - composed and creative 

2 Hunt- was the difference. His goalkicking was crucial and impressive  

1 Petracca - clearly not 100%.  Spent big part forward in the 2nd half. But his 2nd quarter lifted us and linked and contested to a high standard 

apologies - Maxy, Fritters & May

Yes for this with an honourable mention to Brown.  How anyone has left Gawn out of the votes today defies any reasonable assessment of the game.

More to the point is the number of people leaving Brown out of their votes!  20 disposals and 13 marks as a high half forward/CHF.  He had a huge game. 


Very hard to give votes as that was the most contributors we have had all season.

  • 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?
