I have always believed that the superstars of the game have that something extra that lets them rise to the next level when the game is on the line.

I felt exactly the same way seeing Dom Tysons match winning goal on the weekend, since then I am very much of the belief that he will be a genuine superstar

the future is in good hands lads.

    I like to use my own player comparisons to see what I think these players could be

    Grimes- Enright

    Hogan - Pavlich

    Viney - Selwood

    Tyson - Judd

    JKH - Pendelbury ( I know this one is strange but I see the poise and smarts here )

    Salem - Jordan lewis

    I don't think I have seen enough of Tyson - never seem to spot the kid when he gets the ball.

    Viney I think will be a star (wish he was 2-4cms taller).

    Think of it this way...his body shape gives him a low centre of gravity which makes it really difficult to knock him over. Leigh Matthews, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan and both Gary Abletts all had or have this attribute. It's a wonderful advantage in a hard, body contact sport.

    But I guess the question is, is it a hard, body contact sport? I guess we will know in a little over an hour.

    Voss - jones

    Aker - Vince/ toump

    Lappin - Salem

    Power - Viney

    Lynch - Dawes

    Brown - Hogan

    Mmm more player comparisons. Please, tell me more about how a bloke that hasn't played a game reminds you of a triple premiership-playing coleman medallist...

    Tyson oozes Pendles, not JKH.

    Tyson has all the time in the world, and even when tackled will hold onto the footy and wait to dish it off to another team mate.

    Love this kid.

    Fully agree. Tyson is Pendlebury like & going to be worth every cent.

    Cant say JKH is anything like Pendlebury mould IMO.

    Then watch him... Tyson is quality.

    Viney's height makes no difference. Jack is low to the ground, in and under, crash and bash.

    Crying over cms is ridiculous.

    JKH to Pendlebury comparison is crazy. I like the look of JKH but i cant see any comparisons worthy of noting.

    Watching Kennedy tonight, I can see why Roos got Tyson. Both not overly quick but very strong in close and good hands.

    • 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.
