Already have PJ... ;)

As long as they kick straight and are skilled on either foot it doesn't matter whether they're lefty or righty.

    We should recruite more left footers :blink: ...is this one of those "all Catholics make better footballers" arguements?

    Brad Green???

    I would prefer if a footballer could kick off both feet. Nothing worse than see a one sided player corralled in today's game.

    Rhino pretty well sums it up

    cannot understand the logic with the left footer romance some people have (example Buddy Franklin)

    call me harsh but to me anyone who has no opposite side to their body by hand or foot is NOT COMMITTED to improving for the TEAM

    As long as he's not left handed, writing on white boards is hard for a left hander because they rub out what they write, I don't want many MFC players who can't write on whiteboards

    James Hird got away with it

    Allow me to be the first to call you harsh.

    What about M. Bate? he has no right at all IMO.

    Is he un comitted to the team?

    I'd be disappointed, and surprised, if M. Bate wasn't working his backside off to improve the right side of his body as it would have obvious positive repercussions on the team.

    All players have a responsibility to improve parts missing from their game IMO

    Absolutely, but I dont think that if the 'wrong side' just isnt there, then they havent put in.

    Would Bate be a better footballer with an effective right foot ?

    These are not the days where footballers trained on Tuesday and Thurday nights and played the match on Saturdays

    Having the ability to dispose of the ball equally with hand or foot on both sides of your body should be every footballers goal

    Of course there have been some great players who are noticeably one sided players

    To answer your *Is he uncomitted to the team* question i would have thought that was obvious if he has set aside no practice to improve a basic skill of our game

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
