    6.  Gawn:  fittingly, the ‘supremo’ in ‘Ruck Round’.

    5.  Petracca:  the ‘dynamo’ with the power to consistently change things up, when needed 

    4.  Viney:  continued to carry our midfield on his broad shoulders in the absence of Clarry.

    3.  Brayshaw:  love the consistency he is providing as a mid.

    2.  Pickett:  the magic is still there, and the gameday ‘influence’ is returning at the right time of the year.

    1.  Neal-Bullen:  the usual ‘Nibbler’ work rate, with 3 goals to boot.

    Very, very unlucky:  Hunter

    Very unlucky:  Chandler

    3. Rivers - some might query this but he had zero turnovers - contested and competed hard all day - ran through the lines 

    2. Pickett 

    1. Hunter 

    apologies to Brayshaw Chandler & ANB 

    lots of okay players who stepped up in 2nd and 3rd quarters (most were in a coma in 1st qtr and asleep in the end) 

    Just don’t be fooled by stats. Many of some players possessions were little ineffective handballs to players under pressure (Harmesy, Gus, Hunter, JJ).

    Christian Petracca crossed the 200 point threshold at the weekend and he’s 57 points in front of second placed Jack Viney and 88 ahead of Clayton Oliver in third. If we were talking about mere mortals then I would rule out a meteoric climb to first place by Clarrie (especially given that, barring us placing off in a drawn grand final, there are a maximum of six games and 108 points available). But in his case, you never know.

    i thought drawn grand finals were a thing of the past now, and they just played extra time?

    May the late season renaissance continue. Must have crashed the umpire's mad monday party last season. Not to have been given a free in the last quarter. No goals but five tackles!

    Adjudication;

    see above

    Broadcasters;

    Enjoyed the balanced commentary basking in the lovely sunny afternoon.

    From the director's chair;

    Given the number of slips and spills by players at Blundstone Arena, on what seemed a perfect surface. The club should consider getting the boot-studder out of retirement, modern screw-ons of course are preferred.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
