    Adjudication;

    Acceptable in terms of balance, no obvious howlers, consistency of decision making still needs work. Pass mark except for Umpire Stevic, Toby Greene has my vote.

    Broadcaster;

    BT is an unimaginative partisan [censored] his true colours ‘black and white’  were to the fore during the filth’s last momentum surge. Nanthan Jones was somewhere in the mix.

    Opposition hyperbole watch;

    Mason Cox is an absolute PRAT game over and still acting like a YANK. Brayden Maynard had the good grace to be sporting in defeat.


    From the director’s chair;

    In an effort to get the goal kicking sorted, Choco’s Goal Kicking Academy will be running school holidays’ classes this bye. Final score margin flattered Collingwood massively.

    6 Viney - is this his best season?

    5 Salem - 9 intercept possessions, 10 marks, 24 disposals. He was back to his best today.

    4 Hunter - I thought he was particularly important to cut the Pies run and width options. Early on they tried to drag us out of the corridor by overlapping wide, waiting for us to chase and then cutting back. Hunter was critical in stopping that, and was damaging going the other way.

    3 McVee - I thought he had such a major influence on this game, through impacting contests, one on ones etc. Particularly early. Only 11 disposals (7 from intercepts) but it was the contests he won that was so crucial for us.

    2 Fritsch - but kicked 3/8 goals and kept Darcy Moore accountable.

    1 Rivers - continuing a fine season. Bobs up everywhere, intercept marks, long kicks. Today his short kicking game was significantly improved as well.

     

    Lots of options for the last couple of votes. Tomlinson was good. Petracca used his strength all day. Joel Smith was important forward. And Langdon was tireless on the other wing.

    Very glad to see Hunter in people's votes. Because he's a new player and not a long term Dee people on here have been way to quick to slag him. Absolute gun.

    Great to see Tomlinson amongst most DLanders votes. He was very good today. Solid defensive effort. Good marks.  Hit targets by hand and foot.  Had the height and physical nature to play on Cox and Cameron. Allowed May to play on Mihocek.

    Riv, Fritta, Max, Gus, Tracc, Lever, and probably others ‘squeezed’ out of the votes, in an outstanding overall Team Performance!

    Sorry Hunter, Petracca and Brayshaw - far too many errors.

    2. Petracca (disagree with The Age that called him "ineffectual". I thought his ability to extract the contested ball and stand up when tackled went a long way toward us winning)

    1. Neal-Bullen (spent a lot of time successfully minding N Daicos early and then used his power running in the last quarter to cause huge problems for the Pies)

    I notice that a lot of people have given votes to Hunter and Rivers. I thought Hunter made too many simple disposal errors. Rivers was probably unlucky not to get a vote from me. But so were Grundy, McVee and Brayshaw (after a dodgy start)

    Love being right in terms of where I think we are at, primed for this one! Kick straight and its a 6-8G win!!!

     

    All duck, no dinner -- Ed was spot-on and the playing group was eager to show it, despite nearly costing themselves. Expected score must of been 90-50 type stuff surely...

    • 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.
