Very good analysis 

Wrong as far as Harmes, Sparrow, Hibberd & Tomlinson. They were all a real positive for me. I like what I’m seeing in Sparrow & Tomlinson at CHB gives us much more offensive run than Oscar.

    Apart from that nonchalant and classy goal Benell just couldn't get into the game. 

    I reckon we have to take the risk and play him regularly to let him work into form

    Got to agree here. He needs more game time to get up to speed of the game remembering he has missed allot of footy. That aside he needs to impact more with his defensive side. No more one handed tackles please.

    I thought Harmes played the best game he's played down back, particularly in the first half.

    Can't agree with your assessment of Tomlinson though, he was terrible. He's been an extremely disappointing pick up so far.

    Pretty much spot on Joeboy. Harmes really did come to play and his intent and attack on the ball was evident early, it didn't turn out spectacular in the end but if he brings that vigour each week I can't fault him.

    Tomlinson, terrible.  Wow, I must have been watching a different game, either that or you're letting your disappointment of his long term contract on large coin influence your specific match decisions.

    No Crows opponent got hold of him at anytime and I really liked the way on a few occasions he switched play with run and a long penetrating kick.  He was solid and far closer to good than terrible.

    Agree. Imo Tomlinson should hold the CHB role for the Kangas game

    • 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.
