Very hard because we really didn't have a player who won their position.  We had some triers so here goes -

6. Van Rooyen - 8 marks, a couple of goals, looked like he put in a decent effort.

5. May - some rubbish stat padding but wasn't disgraced and managed to get the Freo fans riled up so points for that.

4. Petty - was decent around the ground but as long as his backside points to the ground he no ruckman. Liked his contested marking.

3. McVee - he played another solid game.  He's composed under pressure and uses it well.

2. Billings - did more in less than a half than most did in a full game.

1. Langdon - ran a lot, got to position well and was a useful link

Absolutely shocking effort by our midfield - Viney, Oliver, Sparrow, ANB, Rivers, Pickett.  As poor a display as you could see.

Lever - just about a career worst game.

    Votes? For that performance?

    Maybe 1 to Langdon for trying to teach Fritsch that the game involves running, chasing and tackling.

    6   McVee. Stood up under fierce heat. Kid is so composed

    5   McDonald. The wide vision on TV was damning. On transition the only bloke running with intent was 94 year old TMac

    4   JVR. Sadly is the second best ruck at the club. Competed against the odds & showed a bit forward

    3   Petty. Sadly is the third best ruck at the club. Competed against the odds & showed a bit around the ground

    2   May. Had a crack, showed some passion & comittment

    1   Billings. Also damning. Did more in a half than most of our mids contributed for the game

    Yeah I was hoping no-one would vote out of protest.

    6 - Jacob van Rooyen tried his guts out

    5 - Steven May despite some blues

    4 - Harrison Petty good around the ground plus he re-signed to ‘27

    3 - Ed Langdon our running man

    2 - Judd McVee great awareness

    1 - Trent Rivers just edged out Billings

    Our midfield badly mauled by Freo and penalised by umps as well, our much vaunted backline were badly beaten by Freo’s as well, junior football stuff, who was guarding the goal square and Jake Lever you were so out of touch today what the hell, outmarked, outplayed jumping at shadows.

    Casting votes today is very similar to my Year 6 maths exam ie. aImost impossible!!
    All of our boys lowered their colours, in a performance I seriously want to forget, but here goes:

    6.   May  -  under immense pressure all game given the amount of ball coming in, and the complete absence of our hallmark ‘team defence’.  Battled manfully, and won or halved some contests.   
    5.  JvR  -  worked hard, whether ruck or forward.  Commendable effort against huge odds.
    4.   Petty  -  clearly not a ruckman, but battled hard all game, and contested marking around the ground (especially in the second half), was a worthy effort.
    3.   Langdon  -  ran all day (again!), and should be commended for his work-rate.
    2.   McVee  -  solid in the face of insurmountable odds.  Showed his usual good composure when he had the ball.
    1.    Rivers  -  little influence as a mid, but improved considerably when he went to HB in the second 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?
