Petty? He played one of the worst key defensive roles at our club since probably a game from OMac in 2020. His body language stinks and got badly beaten in one-on-ones again.

    This is a tough call, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

    6.   Chandler:  A four quarter ‘workhorse’.  Ran hard all day, put his body on the line, and kicked three goals. One of his best games.
    5.   Oliver:  Slowly working back to his best.  Never gave up against the odds.
    4.   Salem:  Solid defensively, despite that he seems to have lost a yard.  Mostly precise delivery, and a few nice second efforts.
    3.   Bowey:  Solid game, spoilt by a couple of costly clangers.
    2.   Lindsay:  Very mature and composed for his age and experience. A big part of our future.
    1.    Henderson:  mostly nice vision and neat execution.  Will be around for a while, I expect.

    Not voting - very disappointed,

    Only one player can honestly hold his chin up!

    Didn't see the game, and probably won't, now, but good to see Lindsay featuring.

    Have enough people voted yet to end this toom?

    Working yesterday and just watched the replay, so I feel quite confident that five players were worthy.

    Sixth goes to one of our hardest workers.

    6 Chandler - This was his best game ever and showed that Goody's faith in him was worth the wait. I am one of those who queried his ability to be physically effective enough to play small forward and having some time in middle helped break up that role and he was mega clean, unlike teammates.

    5 Oliver - Very good at winning the footy (12 clearances) and one lovely left-foot goal. But he was part of a terrible bit of play after halftime when both he and Trac failed to stick tackles on Paul Curtis. But still very much a step back to his good old days of 2021.

    4 Lindsay - Laid the most tackles of any Demon and very effective with his disposals. Career only two games in, but gees he looks the part.

    3 Bowey - Made perhaps the biggest howler with a dreadful shanked kick when going long through the middle that resulted in a Zurhaar goal, but otherwise was very serviceable and he's made a great start to the season after a very good game last week.

    2 Salem - Neat and tidy all day and seemed to play close to his opponents.

    1 Sparrow - Yes I know he had no awareness when being chased down with a shot on goal, but at least he worked his butt off along with Viney. Both turned the ball over continuously, but Viney's left boot missed passes did more damage to us than Sparrow's errant ball blasts.

    Not worried about the votes.

    Was that a breakout game for Chandler? Sure looked like it. .Its taken a while but with some players when the penny drops  it hits the turf with a thud.

    He now knows what he is capable of doing.

    If that is his new standard going forward I will take that loss and look forward to Kosi joining him up forward.

    3 Myself for making the effort to go to Shizzen stadium and catching the train and being entertained by the antics of other travellers,which was better than what was dished up by the Dees on Sunday!

    2 Myself for staying till the end

    1 Myself for putting up with buses replacing trains and not getting home until after 9

    Definitely chandlers best game. Did not think he had this level in him, well done.

    other years he has started OK then faded hope this also changes.

    Windsor and Oliver both played well. 
     

    3 positives  make the result a little more palatable

    That Daniel Turner is 8th is bizarre and concerning.

    He touched the pill 7 times at 57% efficiency.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
