    Thought Clarry would have got the 10 votes (nit picking i know but i thought he was head and shoulders above everyone else particularly in the first half)

    Coaches split:

    •  5 and 4 Petracca/Oliver
    • 3 and 3 Gawn
    • 2 and 1 Jackson/Lever

    Very consistent voting by the two coahces this week.

    Oliver on 101 has a handy lead over Bontempelli who is on 94.

    Nice to see Jackson among the votes from both coaches.  His performance justifies the confidence Goodwin showed in him in his previous press conf.

    I am quite shocked Oliver didn't get a perfect 10. He did have a quieter second half though.

    Didn't think Max was as influential as normal around the ground, and thought Steven May was just enormous on King who literally did not touch the footy.

    But what do I know.

    Nice to see Oliver leading the coaches votes. He isn't flashy like Bont, but his consistency is incredible.

    i hope this doesn't seep into Trac's ego and cause him to lose his new found selflessness.

    i was quite happy with Bont being the brownlow favourite and ahead in the coaches votes just as i was happy with being 3rd on the ladder. 

    We are still a bit immature when it comes to publicity and expectation. The 3rd quarter against the Suns was all to telling with the Hollywood handballs and low percentage decision making. Individual accolades dont win you GF's and are best left until after seasons end. Would be just as happy for the Coaches votes to be sealed in the same vault as the brownlow counting only to be opened up in the lead up to the GF.

    Given that he had three handballs, he literally DID touch the footy. 

    Only rarely and to no great effect, though.  May thrashed him.

    He literally did not touch the footy once in the air? Better?

    We have waited so long to have genuine stars in the midfield. Hasn't happened in my 33 years following the club and now we have 2.

    All hail Clarry and Trac

    No wonder  we are third on the ladder and one of the real chances for the flag for the first time in 21 years.

    If it doesn't happen this year we have the list at such a stage that any time within the next 5 years it could be just as possible.

    I've said it before but I think Gawn is criminally underrated by a lot of posters here and media elsewhere.  He played a fantastic ruckman's game, got the ball moving in our direction (31 hitouts 42% to advantage), kicks a couple of goals, goes at 69% DE and has 11 score involvements (second highest for us).  Lyon says on the telecast that Gawn has been quiet - Fox Footy group think takes hold, the media who aren't at the game but listen to Lyon's commentary all fall for it.  Only the HS listed Gawn in the best players.  Nothing in the Age for Max, nor AFL.com.au.

    He was statistically better than any other ruckman this week in nearly all categories.  Both coaches rate him the third best player on the ground.  The coaches clearly didn't listen to the commentary team.  It never ceases to amaze me how frequently wrong the "experts" are.

    Agreed with this but I would extend it, somewhat, based on the team performance. What stood out for me was the communication and almost brotherly love between Tracc and Clarrie. This includes Gawn and Gus as a framework of the magnificent four. It lifts the whole team, in particular: Jackson, BB, HIbberd, Lever, May and Kozzie and Salem (when fit). There is almost a silent co-operation going on between these blokes and when we win, it stands out like dog's marbles. At the gritty end of the spectrum, it could well be the reason for the wins we've had this year.

    • 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.
