    Magnificent second half. He needed help but none was forthcoming unfortunately.

    6. Oliver - a magnificent effort in the second half

    5. Gawn - a magnificent effort in the first half (10 marks for the game, 5 contested and 20 disposals at 85%)

    4. Petracca - although fumbly at times his third quarter made us look better than we were

    3. Langdon - a great first quarter, slowed down after that but ran his guts out.

    2.Nibbler - 7 tackles, and at least tried to display a decent defensive mindset.

    1. Lever - 8 marks and the best of our defensive unit tonight.

    1: Jackson???? In reality I don’t think we had this many good players tonight, hence the loss.

    Gawns stats look ok but a couple of monumental brain fades cost us dearly.

    Gawn's stats are decent but his ball use is one of the main reasons we lost

    And a few of our other "stars" as well had their moments - Tracc's fumbles at critical times resulted in goals to Adelaide, Lever's ineptitude in 1v1's, Clarry's look away disposals in the first half.  Max made two significant errors - a dropped mark  and the very questionable 50 metre penalty.  He played a great game overall.  The fact that Oliver and Hibberd didn't actually get to the drop when Rowe scored his goal was a blight on them both.  10 marks by a ruckman in any game of footy is pretty impressive.

    Mustn't have seen the same game.  His ball use was actually very good tonight.  I'd be more concerned about his dropped mark, or Tracc's fumbles, or Lever's soft in the back, or Harmes falling over etc etc.  I'm sure you get my point - the game is made up of mistakes.  Whoever makes the least usually wins.  Gawn played well.

    Safe to say those who mystifyingly left Oliver out of their votes last week won’t be doing the same this week.

    My issue with Gawn is:

    Taking good marks and then allowing opposition to set up by taking too long.

    Dropping sitters.

    Not giving first option.

    Spoiling team mates that are better placed to mark.

    Taps to opposition players in dangerous spots.

    Reality is that outside of Oliver we had very few strong performers tonight.

    The first point can sometimes be overcome by a team mate running past for an easy handball receive. It did happen once or twice tonight.

    The second - he took 10 and dropped 2.

    If you are talking about first option then I'd be lining up Petracca, Harmes and most of the rest of the team before Max.

    Can't say that I've noticed the spoiling of team mates as a significant problem.  As probably the best contested mark in the game maybe they should be providing coverage for him so he doesn't get bashed from pillar to post every game, or get out of his way.

    The final one was a disgraceful flat footed effort by both Hibberd (Rowe's man) and Oliver.  As pointed out on the commentary there was nothing wrong with the tap.  It went exactly where it was supposed to.  Hibberd was supposed to check Rowe - he didn't; and Oliver didn't move (he should have).  The whole clearance thing is an inexact science with multiple variables.  Being on the move is one of the non-negotiables.

    So my point stands - Max's errors did not contribute any more substantially to the loss than most of the others that were made tonight.

    the wrist-slitting on this site is hilarious; that was as tough and as a committed a game of football as you could want yr team to play - far better to have that sort of heat than the cakewalk that footscray are currently getting from the aints

    if you'd told me we'd be 9-1 at the start of the season where our sole loss was a 1 pointer in a game where the maggots had an adverse effect on the result i'd be stoked

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
