THE INSIDE WORD

Hard-running, strong-bodied medium midfielder with an appetite for the contest. Played seniors for Norwood in the SANFL, averaging 19 touches in seven games this year. Injured his ankle and missed the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Can win the ball from stoppages and runs hard."

Anyone got the inside view on this bloke, looks an absolute truck, missed the championships and might be a bargain?

    So who out of him and Oscar McDonald should we pick up here (at #40)?

    If you can't kick, you can't play - Coach of the last 2 premierships/

    Also how old is he? 40? Makes 18 year old Nathan Jones look young

    Yeah main difference I believe is that he is played a genuine mid.

    Dean Gore if he is there.

    Not sure what he offers that we don't already have with Riley, Michie and Tapscott. All sound similar types.

    I suppose it depends how many solid midfielders you need in your rotations, and of the ones we have how many are actually good enough. Riley and Michie offer something and I hope that they improve in 2015, but neither are cemented senior players.

    It seems that there are some very solid mids that will go late in this draft. Gore was another mentioned and there are quite a few others that win the footy regularly and hit targets. Tapscott is either gone or to be rookie listed, and we have delisted a bevy of others who weren't up to it.

    Mckenzie and M Jones are not up to it. Bail is replaceable despite his best efforts. Trengove is LTI at best.

    If the solid mids are there late, we should stock up.

    • 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.
