Missed a set shot from 35 at a crucial time. He’s going to fit right in.

???

 
 

Thought he was pretty good today. Worked hard, and was always there or thereabouts. Also battled well against Grundy in the ruck when Mumford was off.

I know the wing has been mentioned, but to me he seems better suited to a high half forward role, and rucking when the ball is forward.

Every kick I've seen this quarter has been shocking (3 of them)

Had good work rate and battles on. Solid versatile type. 

But missed the shot and had a few turnovers.  Best position??  Mobile ruck???? Backup ruck??? CHB ?? Wing - no way !!!!!!

Better than Frosty.  Not on watching him in the last 2 weeks.

workrate is outstanding

his disposal will fit right in with the majority of his teammates

Beat me to it.

He also looks like a big unit to which is another positive. 

 

Journeyman footballer who will fit nicely into our style of play.

Played his role really well today. Outstanding workrate. Kicking was hit and miss. He'll be a good pickup, without being outstanding.

A couple of his kicks were ok but he was let down by team mates not attacking the ball. He would've hit Cameron on the [censored] but he eased up and tried to chest mark it.

I'm more worried that he's just going to struggle to crash in for the ball and jump up and tackle, chase etc at his size on the wing than I am about his disposal.

Put up a very honest effort in the ruck.

As long as he's a utility getting paid towards the bottom of the 22 I'm happy to have him. If we're expecting more we're going to be disappointed.

Exactly.

Stays on the park too, hasn't missed a game for four year through injury i don't think.

Not sure he'll be an upgrade - besides, what if he wins a Granny medal and decides to stay?

 

I don’t think that’s the issue; it’s GWS finding room in the salary cap to keep him.

Gee I hope we dont get rid of Frost only just to use Tomlinson in defence. 

Agree!!

We won't. We'll get rid of Frosty and then play Tomlinson anywhere but defence.

Feels like they will use him in a similar role to Pederson who we have sorely missed since his retirement

Yesterdays final and the one against the Lions showed he shouldnt be playing down in defence. Looked much better in and around the ball when competing against Grundy or back of the stoppage when along the wing.

Genuinely seems like he can play any position on the park. Was soundly beaten by Grundy’s hitout game in the ruck but laid some crucial tackles and made some good clearances around contests. Pederson’s flexibility was a massive help to the team


Not many blokes leave after playing in a GF. Wonder if Giants will resign him now.

Jake Lever.

 

Workrate will be a big plus and good for others in the playing group to see.

I thought he was good today in the conditions which didn't allow for quality disposal.

I'm seeing a fair bit of flexibility in him, Pedersens replacement, hard working link up player

  • 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.
