Let's never forget that Max is the leader and soul of this club. His clearing kick late in the game was up there with Kynan's tackle before it came back the other way.

Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Alex Neal-Bullen, Steven May, & Jack Viney make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Kangaroos. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

In a parallel universe, maybe.

But in this universe WE WON 🥳

6.  Rivers by the length of the Flemington & with significant mid minutes ... 80% CBA!  Welcome to the mid field son!!!!!  Should've happened weeks ago but took a Tracc tragedy for Goody to pull the trigger.  Keep him there FCS

5.  Viney.  Best game since Rnd 4 but still a bit off with the most turnovers on the night of any player (8).

4.  May ...Larkey in red hot form coming in ...kept to zero goals.  Massive win for May and we don't win the match if he doesn't achieve the above (& Brown doesn't stick that tackle).  1 goal and we were done.

3.  Maxy.  Not his best match but still solid as and Xerri is a seriously good ruckman, including at ground level.  Norf have found a beauty here.

2. Salem.  Gutsy, reliable and serviceable until subbed.  Just needs to pull the trigger more often and quickly.  Bit slow to move ball on at times which sees opponent getting numbers behind the ball too often & forwards left to wonder... "what if!?"  His mate Bowey is the worst offender here though.  Let's hope Moniz has a solid game today.  Goodwin needs to bring him straight in for Bowey if so.  Massive liability down back on  present form.  Howes not far behind!

1.  ANB...a typical dour 'Nibbla' type game 💪🏼

In no particular order.

viney. Max, Rivers, 

worthy of one vote 

McVee , Salem, Windsor, Sparrow, TMac,

AnB, 

and thanks Pup for saving the 4 points.

JvR should only ruck in the F50. But getting better,  Petty  not a great game, but he was not man Friday.

Hard game this week

Honourable mention to K. Brown.  His first stat in the seniors was a goal-saving run-down tackle to preserve our three point lead.  You couldn't script it better for that kid.  

Great effort, Kynan. Great to see Yze sitting next to Brown Snr, too. The two ingrained Demon Family members looked great together. Thinking of Yze, might it be possible for him to take over in 2025?

Maybe not worth a vote this week, but I thought Judd McVee stood up in the last quarter with three score-saving acts. A lovely side step and a strong mark followed by excellent kicks. And then a smother (which ANB pounced on).

Maybe, but even Might Gawnius Maximus does need a breather, and who else do we have.  Fullarton was supposed to fill that rôle but seems a bust.

Dunno about being a 'bust' just yet ... some things have impressed observers but the whole package could well not be there, just yet. If this is a maturing talent range that he 'might' have, he'd be handy, there is a spot for him to accelerate or help to organise his skills, understandings and contributions. Admittedly, it takes intensive coaching and staged roleplays so perhaps, that is an initial extension that has not really been worked through in his growth/development.

Ok but JvR should “rest” in the forward 50

  • 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.

    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?
