Yep gave pies 2 direct goals and fumbles alot. 

Doesn't like body contact much I don't think 

Couple of coach killers but still played part in team defence.

    Tomlinson reminds me of a Neeld-era player. Can't see it.

    Agree but has a role to play. It’s not on the wing.  Can fit in at CHB imo

    Im hoping he gets better with some continuity because he wasn't like that at Adelaide, at he's best he was backing into contests and taking intercept marks, still young enough to build on, although we payed through the roof for him

    He doesnt like front on contact, not many players do, but he will avoid it. He is a handy third tall. Not much more or less.

    I would give him a whole preseason of boxing, has to learn to play dirty, you can't have defenders who are scared to get hurt in big finals. I appreciate he may be a great 3rd tall, intercepter, but he can still learn to hold he's own in a one on one.

    I’ve seen Lever commit to a number of courageous acts through the last few weeks, even in the Port debacle.. so I think it’s a bit unfair to say he shirks contact.

    Everyone can have off games, think he’s coming along nicely.

    Brayshaw - an important connector

    Salem - possessions finally effective 

    Langdon - just keeps giving

    Petracca - excellent, not elite

    Oliver - prolific and vital

    May - a solid rock

    Fritsch - better second half

    Viney - normal bullocking performance 

    Hibberd - continued solid form

    Preuss - was not disgraced

    Melksham - took his chances

    Lockhart - brave and smart

    vandenBerg - glad he’s ours

    Jones - cunning but slow 

    Weideman  - making an impact

    Harmes - disciplined team first

    Spargo - great first half

    Tomlinson - was rarely sighted

    Sparrow - better each game

    McDonald - fumbly but improving 

    Lever - not his best

    Pickett - couldn’t get going 

    Spot on Joeboy however I would have put in for Tomlinson - "Did his job". Was at ground and his defensive positioning was good blocking paths where the Pies wanted to go. Plenty of defensive punches in the packs.

    Wouldn’t listen to Garry Lyon to much, we have to win by over a hundred points for him to give us any credit 

    the time when Gary was going off and giving it to Lever it was actually Hibberd that gave away the holding free kick. He blamed the wrong Mustachio brother

    No one saying he shirks contests.

    @praha - re: Tomlinson.  He certainly hasn't set the world alight since coming here, but I feel for him a bit.  Was recruited to play on the wing, which we did for a few rounds before we forced him into a back up ruck role.  Got dropped, a bit unfairly if you ask me but to each their own, and has then been brought back into the side as a key defender.  

    Poor bloke hasn't had the opportunity to settle into a role yet.  I haven't seen him make any glaring errors and he was part of a back six that dominated last night, so I'm happy to give him more time.

    Joeboy - good summary this week!

    He was the number 1 intercept marking player in the comp and had just played in a GF when we got him so of course we payed alot. 

    It's gonna pay off though, our backline is the best its ever been

    • 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.
