I know it's been mentioned in passing in other threads. But, on the eve of "H's" debut for us, and his 200th AFL game, I reckon he deserves a thread of his own.

Just watched his Press Conference. What an impressive young man! Very pleased to have him at the MFC, and really hope he turns it on big time tomorrow!

There's also a really nice highlights video on the MFC website. Even includes Bucks commenting on "H" reaching the 200 milestone. Good stuff! Bucks tells the story of how he apparently turned up at Collingwood from Perth, and pretty much begged them to give him a go. Very reminiscent of our own Shane Woewodin all those years ago.

A terrific "get" for the MFC!

Go Dees!

    yeah watched his presser, it was awesome

    Hes an asset to the MFC and speaks so well

    I couldn't stand him at the Pies but I think that was more to do with who he played for lol

    Must be a bittersweet moment for him. 200 is such a great achievement, but without any of his black-and-white teammates around him - not even Dawes!

    I reckon it'll just give him even more reason to go out there and be explosive. I'm quietly hopeful he'll drag the rest of the team with him, but the last NAB match doesn't fill me with confidence.

    I really hope a few of the Pies turn up at the game to cheer him on. It would be a pretty classy thing to do.

    So in another 20 games we can call him 'Heavy Harry"?

    (That may be too obscure for Victorians aged under about 65.)

    Wishful thinking! When was the last time a Collingwood person did anything classy?

    My husband did - he married me!! And he will be there with me tomorrow at the G.

    I'm a Victorian and past 65 "M". You have left me feeling extremely obscure.

    But I'll get over it.

    220 games doesn't equate to a ton. So I'll move on.

    Ive heard he has a point to prove as well. Really hope he smashes it.

    I will admit I was apprehensive last year when he was recruited but after seeing him train and his performances in the NAB games,I'm nothing but excited to have him play for us.Go Prince!

    • 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.
