Well done lad.

Might be a reflection of the sheer amount of list turnover we're experiencing this season, but still, congratulations to the kid. Hopefully he can get even better from here on in.

    Well done!  He fully earned it with his second half of the year.

    Has the ability. We need to keep some mature bodied depth players. He is not best 22 but best 30 so likely will get game time in 2019 and must take chances  

    Next step is to move from very good VFL player to week after week AFL standard. Big preseason. Bring it on Jkh

    good on him for sticking with it. not my fave by a long shot, but i admire his tenacity and how he's managed to add to his game with forward pressure and improved foot skills.

    Glad he’s staying but his second half of the vfl grand final was really not encouraging 

    Here’s hoping he continues to improve

    JkH well done and deserving a one year contract  after you battled hard to break into the line up  only to be unlucky not to hold your spot. However you are still young, talented and have a chance to take the next step to become a very good consistent player. I believe that you will be our most improved player in 2019.  You have the capabilities.

    With the delistings, retirements and rumors swirling about vanders, Hogan and Kent it makes food sense to lock him up. He could be in the mix for round 1 given the potential list turnover.

    I'm hoping he has a massive 2019

    He looked gone for all money early in the year but really turned it around.

    All credit to him...

    Certainly getting most out of himself and won’t retire wondering what could have been.

    I wonder if he might be trialled down back next year?  Doesn’t have the speed or smarts to be an AFL small forward, struggles with the pace and skills in the midfield... could he be trialled as a small defender in the mould of Neville Jetta..?

    One year contact to see how he goes. FD still unsure so prudent thinking.

    Didn’t rate him, dropped the ball way too often, was a deer in headlights, this year tho, he seemed to be a bit more settled, seemed t9 concentrate on tackling and the defensive side of things.

    A one year deal seems the right amount.

    Well earned indeed 

    He worked hard on those defensive aspects as well as his tank,  but was also reliable user of the ball albeit not often in damaging positions

    I hope he continues to improve and gets to play ~10 games next year

    One year contract yells "cant let everyone go in one season"...need someone to play in the VFL and provide options ( some depth )

    If he has anything more to show...nows the time.

    He must be well regarded to have avoided the scythe cutting a swathe.

    Will have to really improve his composure with ball in hand if he's not going to be delisted at the end of 2019.

    With Tyson, Kent and AVB going, Vince retiring and Lewis and Jones probably in their last year, this is a very strategic decision. Perhaps he elevates from fringe to bottom 5 or 6 in 2019?

    I was pleasantly surprised with his form in those last few games he played. That might be at least in part because my expectations for him were rock-bottom, but still, I think this is a good call.

    He really surprised me this year.  He showed some real energy and grunt, and fully earned this 1 year contract. He might really surprise in 2019.

    • 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.
