and -476 for Salem for his ridiculous dinky kicks, but especially for missing an absolute sitter - not making the distance from 42 metres out.

    6 May - kept the dangerous Curnow on a pretty tight leash.

    5 Viney - four quarters of ferocious work.

    4 Brayshaw - unspectacular but effective.

    3 Petracca - influence grew as the game went on.

    2 Hunter - did more than his share of running and chasing.

    1 Oliver - quiet first half but helped turn the tide in the second.

     

    Biggest disappointment: Salem, usually so calm and cool but the radar was sadly astray tonight.

    4. Viney - forgiven for the volume of clangers because he frankly half the time it was supernatural that he even got the ball in the situations he was in.

    3. Oliver - bit underdone, eh.

    2. Rivers - one of few who really gained ground in useful ways

    1. May - Broke even with the current best forward in the game.

    There'd be some honourable mentions, but I really have to give my own -1 to Salem, who's [censored] pop-up handballs were more likely to get a teammate injured than get a counter-attack going, and whose kicking was all over the place.

    Multiple players had some good moments but simply weren't in it often enough.

    6 - JV 

    5 - Gus just got better and better

    4 - Tracc kicked the winning goal but was robbed

    3 - Hunter 

    2 - Ed

    1 - Clarry had a huge second half very rusty but he has had a huge break from footy.

    Special mentions to our mighty backline May, Lever, Riv, Judd & Bowey and our Skipper who dominated the Ruck contests.

    6. Brayshaw. Hardest I've seen him work.

    5. Viney

    4. May. Did his job.

    3. Rivers. Useful

    2. Langdon. Kept running.

    1. Tracc, 2 goals should have been 3.

    Just watched the replay.

    6 Rivers - Good in air in greasy conditions and provided great disposal and dash and tight on opponents. Most improved player by miles.

    5 Petracca - the classiest player on ground and hardest for Blues to contain scored the winning goal (which wasn't). Worked hard on defence as well.

    4 Lachie Hunter - clever positioning all night. Not dangerous but always presenting and made a hue goalsquare marking contest save early.

    3 Angus Brayshaw - like Trac seemed to realise Carlton's intensity was more than ours and stepped up and put his body on the line time and time again. But played on influential Cripps for a lot of night so loses points.

    2 Steven May - really strong and provided offensive support with his lovely left foot. Held Coleman winner to two goals and about five kicks.

    1 Jack Viney - gave it his all, but not as clean as the past three weeks, so just the one.

    How can you have no defenders other than Salem & he was probably the worst defender on the night

    Midfield was smashed for a half

    • 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?
