It would seem the Essendon coach doesn't subscribe to the umpiring plot theory.

Interesting, this.

Both coaches agreed May was BOG.

Then the coaches barely agreed on anyone else in the top 5 (e.g. one had Lever 2nd and no Gawn, the other had Gawn 2nd and no Lever).

 

Maybe he's pee'off Hurley wants to come to us as well

I thought Merrett was clearly 2nd best on ground

His high possession count wasn’t very damaging. Sometimes disposals aren’t everything. May was a giant out there. He is worth his weight in gold and silver!

Absolutely, just thought he was better than our others

Good to see both coaches derate stat accumulation. Both Merrett and Parish did plenty of number collecting up the ground, but didn't hurt us. 


Not surprised there was such a large spread.  Brayshaw and Gawn were excellent but not widely lauded - neither appeared in the media best players lists yet from my view at the ground they were both instrumental in the win.  May was an obvious choice for best on.  Lever was effective and probably played a game better than 4 votes but that's how it goes.  I thought it was only an average Oliver game and Petracca's goals were the difference in the end despite his 42% disposal efficiency. Heppell and Merrett were the Bomber standouts.  Heppell is a terrific player and a very good leader.

May was head and shoulders above Merritt on impact on the result.  He was good getting the ball so much but votes are about right in terms of who influeneced the outcome,  incl Lever, gawn, Oliver

We had some good players, some brilliant. So did the Essendrug few. I was personally quite impressed with Brayshaw's game, the thinking and variation of achieving the best outcome from his 'getting' of the ball. He has lost the panic in his football, as well; this enables him to pick his best targets, not just support nearest to him. A vital cog for our team game. Onyer, Gus.

  • 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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
