    6 Langdon - classy all-round display.

    5 Petracca - excellent third quarter.

    4 Bowey - nippy and creative.

    3 Gawn - fought all the way.

    2 Pickett - pacy and elusive.

    1 Oliver - put in the hard hards.

    6 Langdon - our best by miles to half time and one of the few who had time and space and figured out that if your coach has picked the smallest forward line in history then you better keep your kicks low.

    5 Gawn - has difficulty with Draper but kept working hard. A couple of bad howlers late though but you have to wonder why others didn’t realise the urgency.

    4 Petracca - plenty of inside 50s but not quite enough polish to be a match winner.

    3 Salem - as with Langdon kept the ball low all night which when you have four guys under 6ft up forward is smart.

    2 Bowey - he’s really smooth this year, shame our forwards and game plan aren't.

    1 Pickett - looked dangerous unlike the rest of the side.

    6 toLangdon best by far

    5 Gawn

    4 Bowie

    3 Kozzie

    2 Trac

    1. Oliver and before you ask he made 9 tackles. The only player close was Chin with 6 while Trac & Viney had 5 apiece nearly half of the entire team tackles. 4 players had 0 tackles

    1. Langdon - a shining light. Head and shoulders above of our next best.

    1. Gawn - battled on tirelessly against the odds. Can hold his head up.

    1. Petracca - instrumental in our mini fight back in the second half.

    1. Bowey - solid, with (mostly) nice disposal. Perhaps our most consistent player this season.

    1. Pickett - provided a bit of spark, at times.

    1. Oliver - the best of the rest.

    6 - Max Gawn 50 hit outs (one howler)

    5 - Ed Langdon great game

    4 - Jake Bowey playing with assurance

    3 - Christian Salem brave and consistent

    2 - Christian Petracca mini fightback

    1 - Clayton Oliver on his way back

    The mini fwd line failed miserably aided by our inaccuracy in front of goal, we had our chances but overall Bummers out marked, outran and dismantled our game plan.

    So everyone hates the turnovers, skill errors and lack of forward cohesion and yet every week they get votes. Its bizarre. Its what Goody seems to be doing also. Im rewarding goal assists.

    Grundy,Jordan,Bedford,Hogan, Jackson,Hunt, Harmes, Howe,Nibbler,Baker

    Of those Grundy, Jordan Bedford Hunt Harmes and Baker were forced out due to lack of opportunity .

    They would have stayed if....

    Hogan need love

    Howe was played out of position and chose to leave.

    Hunt had 16 possessions this week and 300+ metres gained

    Jordan has cemented his place in a far better side

    Grundy could have rucked and Max could have provided a target at FF..he marks everything but Max was selfish.

    Who is running player development ?

    Who enforces contracts?

    • 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?

    • 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.
