i know Iā€™m probably missing an obvious one. Viney was good, Rivers ok.

Love the kudos that ANB is getting, he is in ripping form and finishing his work beautifully.

    No gong for five-goal Fritter?

    haha. I always list my votes without referencing any stats or anybody else. I honestly forgot about Fritter until I'd submitted my votes and then went 'doh' after i saw everyone else.

    6-Viney-Epic, could have played footy in any decade in the last 100 years and would still be the toughest guy in it.

    Fritsch-5 goals on return, is a movie plot you wouldnā€™t believe.

    Trac-power through traffic.

    ANB-in any starting 18 in the league.

    Brayshaw-working so hard.

    Rivers-hard to split with McVee but just.

    Apologies to Langdon and Clarry and Sparrow and May

    Clarry did lots of work, but felt like he is not releasing other players as well as he normally does.

    I just want to say thank you DLers for all your votes. Without you this award doesn't happen.

     

    There's always different perceptions of what a good game is and I really enjoy reading the number of different slants on performances. Give yourselves a pat on the back!

    6.  Viney - strong all game, and along with Petracca, turned the game in our favour when it needed to be turned.

    5.  Petracca - Vineyā€™s main accomplice in turning the game our way, but had a quieter first half.

    4.  Fritsch -  won the game off his own boot.  Welcome back Fritta, but no more ā€˜scaresā€™ please.

    3.  Neal-Bullen  -  continued to play his (very underrated) role to perfection.

    2.  Brayshaw  -  ā€˜work horseā€™ continuing to produce, week in, week out.

    1.  McVee  -  played like a top shelf veteran, as usual.

    Langdon, Hunter and Rivers also earned a mention.

    Highly tempted to include McVee for the last vote. What an outstanding first year from the young man.

    6 Jack Viney

    5 Bayley Fritsch

    4 Christian Petracca

    2 Clayton Olivier

    1 Angus Brayshaw

    Judd McVee

    Kysaiah Pickett

    Joel Smith

    Special mention;

    Jake Melksham all the best for a speedy recovery. Follow that dream Jake.

    Adjudication;

    Free kick deferential was favourable, play in front boys. Razor Ray deserves his cheque.

    Opposition hyperbole watch;

    Buddy farewell! It's been a long and spectacular career.

    Broadcasters;

    No real complaints. Adequate and none intrusive overall.

    From the director's chair;

    Admirable resilience and ability to arrest opposition momentum swings. As Goody says it is a 'hallmark' of this year's team. Go deep into September Demons!

    If it wasn't for the broadcasters I wouldn't have known that Sydney was playing for a home final. How many times did it get mentioned? 10? 12?

    I like that 28 players out of the 33 that have played have polled, says good things about the depth of the squad. would have though Viney would have been closer to Trac though.

    • 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

      Itā€™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.
