    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?

    1. Lingers - His 2nd highest Rated game at the MFC. Brilliant gut running never-say-die performance. More of this pls!!

      1. Max - On track for a much better season than 24 but needs a chop out from someone who is in form up forward. Can't afford to play a part-time ruck in JVR who is not contributing elsewhere at all. Goodwin can't seem to see the forest through the stubborn trees. When a player is this out-of-form you are doing no one any favours by digging your heals in and backing him no matter what until the worm turns. The only winner is the oppo who benefit from nothing dangerous happening up forward until his form does turn. Let him find his mojo at Casey FCS and don't be so pig headed pls Simon.

        1. Clazz - Offensively getting back to somewhere near his best but poor defensively on the two way as are Tracc & Vines who is nowhere near his very best across the board. Vines needs to be managed for Brown Dog imho.

          1. Riv - 31% CBA this week. Keep Riv in the middle for these sort of minutes or more from here. Whatever it takes Simon, just get his minutes up. We look better with him on the move through the middle, aside from his disposal (not alone). Kozz will hopefully find some form here also as the weeks pass.

            1. Salem - Improved on last week imo.

              1. Tracc - A long way from his best but It is coming (slowly). You can feel it. Keep the faith fellow minions. Ideally might need to be managed for a week to freshen up but not enough troops at Casey yet. Maybe Culley in three to four weeks?

                Apologies to Bowsa - Great efforts and plays the intercept / link role well. However he lets himself & the team down with ball in hand too often for mine. Needs to lower vision and look for options inside and stop panic kicking up the line to players who are well covered or double teamed so often. Go lateral or backwards if needed. T-Mac looks to do this whenever possible without the blind down the line kicks so often. A few too many turnovers to get in the votes.

    • 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.
