    Yeah, I know. Sorry. I'm keen to know about a couple and KC is always a good read.

    I had Taggert and Tynan in my preferred Round 1 team vs Port

    Might have gone too early but I rate them both highly

    would have both of them in the MFC team ahead of a dozen of the current players

    We keep hearing from at least one poster here that (can't remember which) Taggert or Tynan "will be a gun"!

    Any thoughts from your personal observations KC??

    I don't think it's me but I do think he has considerable potential if managed right i.e. looking after his back

    KC, I haven't said this for a while but I, along with many others on this forum, appreciate your efforts to keep us updated about the scorps on match days and during the week. Reading your reports are always great as well.

    Thanks again.

    It will be a couple of years before you might be able to call either one a gun but I would have Taggert ahead in the race. His four goal effort could earn him a game at AFL level, if not next week, then soon after the break. Tynan could become a steady defender but I don't think he's going to become a champion.

    Taggert should make it. He's got size, fitness and skill he just needs time and to find the footy at VFL level. He'll be a midfield/forward rotation guy at AFL.

    Tynan I have big doubts on. Seems very slow and unskilled for a guy aiming to be an AFL defender.

    Is this round 8? if so this win (and percentage) should put us in the top 4.

    A couple of observations from Sandy (I was there to watch my nephew go around in the development squad):

    • A few people I spotted: Paul Gardiner, Choco Royal, Col Garland.
    • Hogan took a terrific contested mark in the 1st quarter and is a very strong kid! Will be immovable in a couple years.
    • Blease kicked a belter of a goal from near the boundary in the 2nd.
    • Regardless of whether he played a good game or not Jimmy Toumpas makes very good position as an outside mid.Will prove a good choice in time.
    • Magner shouldn't have been dropped.
    • Casey seem to be well coached.

    I thought Taggerts biggest weakness was his fitness? - wasn't he one of the slowest on the track over preseason? - maybe that was due to injuries

    Injury Young Dee.

    Rory has had stress fractures in his back and played virtually no footy last year. He did a limited pre-season this year. As you would expect his fitness is not at AFL level yet. But he will get there, and he has all the tools to be an 150 AFL game onballer/high half-forward.

    • 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.
