Hawthorn - most hatable players

Umpires - consistently proven incompetent

Fitness staff - seemingly non existent

Gawn - couldn’t dominate enough

Pickett - regularly overran ball

Bowey - continued to excel

Langford - exciting and brave

Petracca - prolific without hurting

McVee - loose and careless

Windsor - great until last

Turner - wasted in defense

Langdon - few positive possessions

May - tried but limited

Rivers - seemingly going backwards

Spargo - waste of space

Chandler - very limited performance

McDonald - continued impressive year

Sparrow - rarely noticed again

van Rooyen - disappointed yet again

Sharp - some limited disposals

Lindsay - was rarely noticed

Oliver - not a tagger

Fritsch - continued being irrelevant

Jefferson - just an amateur

    Mostly agree but thought Riv was pretty good. 23 with 8 contested at 74% and 5 clearances. Max was fantastic but as you say, not quite fantastic enough. Too much left to too few.

    Thought Lindsay was very good. Hawks wings aren’t mugs and he held his own and looked every bit the player I was hoping for. Won some very creative possessions.

    Turner went forward and the flood gates opened for them. I like what he does up forward but until we have lever back we need him in defence.

    Another great game by Gawn. Cherishing every memorable performance I get to witness now.

    Windsor was fantastic today

    He killed Ginnivan and had a lot of the footy.

    Lindsay had IMO the best individual effort of the season for us and it led to a goal, so I definitely noticed him.

    JVR - great backup ruck

    JVR - Not a forward

    JVR - only hope backline

    Langford - star in making

    X - incredibly clever player

    Bowey - obvious connection solution

    Kozzie - keep all costs

    That kid is all class. Footy IQ off the charts, so much time and space with ball in hand and super competitive for a slight player.

    To think he missed a big chunk of his first pre season with a PCL injury and is able to play full games on the wing, is pretty phenomenal.

    He will be a star. It was written all over him from his very first game.

    He'll be ok but was gassed at the end and at his age missing key parts of preseason is going to do that to you.

    My father always said to me as we watched the Demons from the wing on the MCG in the sixties

    That Brian Dixon is never beaten one on one and is a great mark for his size

    Xavier is the closest I’ve seen since those days

    Great observation - has long arms like BD, though XL is a better kick and one cannot even try to compare athleticism from those days.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
