The only concern with Cook is that Darling looks like a ready-made star.

Star is going a bit far.

We needed a key forward. He is only 191cm tall. If we had picked up Darling we wouldn't have picked up Howe who is a similar size. We have a fair few players who can play third tall.

    Hes starting to make it hard for someone not to take a punt on him.

    It's not a punt. He is a very very good footballer. At one stage he was one of the highest paid players in the afl.

    If its not a punt how'd he go at Brisbane? Taking him is a gamble on the impact to your playing list and overall culture not on whether he can play. His form would be starting to make it a consideration for some sides

    I think his payments at Carlton and Lions were a case of paying too much for clown to create a circus.

    Agree. He is doing what you would expect Fevola to do at this level and more. With Caxey dominating midfield play he should be monstering VFL defenders. Not enough for my liking. And he takes the place an MFC listed player who could play forward.

    He is doing the job similar to what Podsiardly did at clubs Werribee & Geelong before being placed on GFC rookie list and that is kicking goals.I am sure KC believes he is worth a punt,after getting fit and serious about his current footy he is averaging 6 goals a game over the last 5 weeks. Consistent and good- more than I can say for any MFC listed forward player.

    KC - thanks again for your commentary.

    Questions:

    Cook in the 2s - how did he go?

    McNamara - lots of possessions as a mid - is he due for a couple of games in the red 'n blue this season?

    Fitzpatrick - not a lot of possessions but does he look the goods?

  • Quote

    McNamara must be due for a call-up

    1. He's a rookie

    2. He's to slow to be a midfielder at AFL level

    MMMMM who else got the chop for being to slow, let me think, was it Greg Williams???? yeah and he was a dud!!

    That was 20 years ago, times have changed. Mcnamara is a good vfl player. Prefer Jetta getting a go.

    Can Tmac still come off the rookie list, or did we waste the last spot on Campbell?

    Those stats certainly surprized me. I am very happy to have Cook and Howe and look forward to both boys playing next year, after another pre season and some more gym work.

    Don't forget Scott Thompson premiership player and who had 50+ possies for the Crows today.

    Forget all the subjective b..sh.t ( he's slow, he's this, he's that) about these kids, the only way you can find out if they can play or not is to see him in action in the big time. We are prepared give some timid types 60 games+ without any great evidence they can play. Last week we also had two supposedly senior players who looked as if they were terrified.

    Tommy Mac just keeps on performing which is exactly what the club would be hoping for.27 possies isn't a bad afternoon. Good luck to him, he's a bit of rough nugget who looks like a sheepdog but he approaches the contest in the correct manner.

    • 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.
