    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
