Bate's kicking may not be great, but he showed some great signs toward the end of the game like taking a great contested mark. That is what we want to see.

If Bate can keep taking those marks that we desperately need inside our 50, kicking skills can come after.

The commentators mentioned they can imagine him a 3rd tall in a premiership side. Bate`s kicking skills were pretty good today. He`s not a bad set shot, And Brad Green tell you want don`t know why he isn`t one of the competitions best players, Very underated and Aaron Davey another super performance on his way to win the bluey. Good signs in the Last quarter.

    but he never really influences a match, he just teases us with glimpses of good play.

    I would argue he was our most influential player today. I tossed up whether him or Davey deserved our BOG and Davey got him purely on weight of numbers.

    Martin is quick for his size, but Martin's main fault is when possessing the footy he is sometimes unsure of what to do.

    Stefan Martin is a star. Love him. Has been a great replacement for Garland. Just keeps getting better and better. The Backline looking very promising. Frawley did ok on Motlop and Warnock work ethic is unquestionable. Forward line weren`t in front and times. Jetta struggled but tried hard and Brad Green, Bate,Miller and Bruce all cashed in with Majors.

    All Bate needs to do now is become consistent.

    He needs to kick 2 or 3 goals on a weekly basis and if he can do that it will help the forward line by a long shot.

    So does Brad Miller. Brad Green is on track to win our leading goal kicker by a long way.

    My 50th post this is, since joining Demonland just 3 days ago.

    Well I guess I'll have to concede defeat on the Bate issue.

    He is an extremely frustrating player IMO, he is absolutely hopeless below his knees, and too often gets pushed aside in a marking contest. Yes he worked very hard today, and his kicking is generally very good, but he never really influences a match, he just teases us with glimpses of good play.

    Well that's what young players do, tease. If Bate has a problem it's that he's so one sided. He's a good long kick, and I disagree that he's terrible below his knees, he found the ball pretty well today a number of times and turned some pretty good opponents inside out. He's not a fantastic contested mark, but he doesn't usually drop sitters either. His real strength is his endurance, he worked his way into the game today and didn't drop his head which is a big step forward from last year IMO.

    yes he usually is but today he actually got plenty there thought he worked harder today in an undermanned forward line

    • 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.
