    Easy tiger. Lets wait for a season or two before assessing his worthiness to wear the jumper of the great ronald dale.

    nah... this is a popular vote award... will be won by a player who plays for the big clubs

    Bit of a joke actually having such an award ... worse than the Gold Logie

    The AFL isn't putting it to public vote anymore.  Ditto GOTY.

    Nonetheless, imagine what it does for Fritsch's confidence...not bad to be nominated twice in your first 6 AFL games - suspect there will be many more to come.

    Will say it again, hes already a better player than Watts.

    And yes I will compare them as it was a direct swap and we will win it by the length of the Nullarbor

    I feel like we say that about most who wear that jumper.

    Don't mean to be picky but he's only played 5

    First second he spends in defensive 50, mark of the week. Shows how easy Howe has it.

    Slight but understandable overstatement. It's not yet the mark of the week, just a nomination. That's still a great achievement, though. As a minimum it means it was considered to be better than every other mark taken in this round except possibly two.

    For what it's worth, I expect Jack Darling's mark to win. A true contested mark against three defenders.

    I honestly cannot remember even one who wore the number with distinction since the great RDB - Fritsch to me looks the best so far.

    Many have been great disappointments (to say the least): Ray Groom was probably the best of a bad lot in my memory.

    Pretty sure they’ve changed the voting system this year after the Howe upset? 

    This kid has courage in the air and strong hands, silky skills also, great pickup from the club.

    • 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.
