Tried to find footage of it but couldn't; anyone seen a link?

When searching though, I found this:

Tackles of the week - Rd 21:

The last tackle is Riley and is very similar to this weeks.

    Shame he was very average other than his tackle

    Anyone would've been average playing in the front half for us in the time Riley was on the ground. And he's just not fit enough to go in the middle.

    So he's made of the right stuff so let's wait for next year is my theory.

    Love his attack on the ball but he has work to do

    He'll be better for the game time. Long way to go, but shows some good glimpses of what he might be.

    On a side note, how is Michie travelling at Casey?

    I look forward to seeing him after a full preseason.

    Playing an inside mid at Casey is much different to playing a small forward at senior level. We don't seem to be able to fit him in the middle but want him in the team. I think he'll be good but he's learning a new role.

    Apologies for the lack of sound.
    I just couldn't tolerate Dwayne Russell's abhorrent commentating any longer.

    Posting under Carrot Top I made mention that a Crows mate of mine was filthy we snagged him. He reckoned that he had the best tackle of any footballer he'd seen. I reckon he might be right considering we haven't seen this guy have a preseason yet, and he still produces something like that.

    Such an awesome tackle. Wrapped him up and dumped him. We should do that more often. Physically imposing ourselves on the game is a big step towards winning every week.

    Surely he'll get rubbed out for wearing a demons jumper??

    Holy [censored] that would have hurt!

    what a tackle!

    Love how he just gets up and keeps running towards the flow of players, as if nothing even happened. Meanwhile the Bombers player is down like a sack of potatoes.

    Riley will be great for us in a few pre-seasons, but I think his tank is pretty limited at the moment.

    Love the tackle.

    But gee that passage of play was ordinary. So many plays caught in no mans land. Even Riley is late on Merrett despite the hospital handball and can't impact play. Loose man (?Grimes) caught in a useless spot. Forwards chasing but it's all a bit token and we let one of their defenders (Hibberd?) free on the outside chain of the handball. Chip I think it is charging in from the next line of forwards but he shouldn't be required to do that running.

    Luckily we win the contest in the back half I think and then we play 18 v 17 for a while whilst Merrett is in the hands of the trainers. But yeah it's a perfect piece of game film to highlight some poor work from the stoppage.

    Pretty much for a half and more they have much more run through the midfield and could create passages like this. It was a great effort to stick in the game so long.

    That tackle turned the tide. We took control of the match from that point.

    He is from NSW, maybe he played a bit of rugby?

    That was my exact thought - definite League tackle.

    • 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.
