Difficult to choose today as it was a very even TEAM effort.

6 Petracca - powerful, positive delivery forward, handy goal

5 Oliver - broke a very heavy tag and his disposal and option taking greatly improved

4 Max - leadership and persistence. 
3 Viney - always there when the chips are down

2 Kozzie - actually held his marks and great options
1 Salem - rekaibke and hard to beat

Apologies  multiple including (though not exhaustive) Tom McD, Frittata, ANB, Sparrow, McVee, Billings et al

Adjudicators 

Has the 50 metre penalty for belated unduly rough play been jettisoned? Or is it open season to physically target the opposition’s ️ players? What was once policed (albeit inconsistently), has become nothing to see here. Priority it appears is given to the next sponsor placement.

Media Broadcast

Watched today’s game with no commentary and an alternative soundtrack. When the Fox commentary  team appeared Gerard, Dwayne, Jason et al, the Stones were pumping out “Brown Sugar”.  Piggy whatever the match situation would always find a positive about the hawks. So cliche.

Opposition Hyperbole watch

If young Watson is the new ‘Wizard’. After an errant goal kicking performance. (One solitary goal since debut). Mediocrity it appears transcends merit.

Overall comment

Despite losing some key players to injury, an admirable team performance. Replacements were activated or switched. Seamlessly, not missing a beat, the Demons left the carcass of the (formerly great) hawks, bereft in the MCG dust.

  • 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?
