    Anyone keen to watch some VAFA footy and report back on Kye? Bonus points for any Austin Bradtke progress reports:

    https://www.vafa.com.au/vafa-tv/prem-b-gf-uni-blacks-v-old-haileybury/

    Early report is I can't believe they played the B grade granny on that swamp of a ground. That's disgraceful.

    With may and Tomlinson being 30 and 29 respectively, happy the club has added to its depth with Jed and is looking at another. If young keys are decent but end up surplus to needs they’re at least a very tradable commodity

    Looking forward to him playing 8th string backup to Kye Declase

    I skimmed through his VFL debut v Port.

    He played back pocket, took his share of rotations off and at this stage I’d say he’s a tall flanker more than a key position player. Lean and long arms and looks an easy mover who wasn’t troubled for leg speed at VFL level. 

    Some observations:

    Q1: 12:10 1st, lovely easy run from deep back pocket to link up and nail an inside 50 kick

    Q2: 5:12 easy elevation for intercept mark and hits his target with a quick short kick

    27:56 kickout to 65

    28:40 drops a kickout to a lead at 50

    Q3: 1:10 weights a kick to the corridor 

    3:50 reads it nicely for easy intercept 

    16:01 nice strong spoil deep down back

    23:01 long kickout!

    Q4 30:26 nice spoil with the game 22 points the difference, follows up to receive a handball and kicks long and wide  with a safe clearing kick 

    31:30 not as great some of his efforts to secure a loose ball

    Then the game ends on a shoddy too high free kick, with Frankston giving up a 61-16 lead 

    Not a perfectly fluent kicking action but not terrible. Kicks around it like a soccer player and certainly has distance. Interesting they trusted him on debut with kick outs 

    Looks a very natural runner. Solid overhead with a leap so there’s more to work with there. Seems to track an opponent and the ball fairly well. Probably found the pace of the game quick with the ball bouncing around the deck, but on debut that’s not a surprise.

    We all know that not all “he will be a gun” players succeed - Kye may offer yet another option, or as mentioned above, a surplus who we may offer for  trade. 
    Just wondering though, just because he is training with us at this stage, does it in any way tie him to us or us to him?

    Why so many key defenders 

    maybe shuffle the surplus to the forward line

    No I don't believe so.

      The Demons are back on the road again for the third time this season when they take on the red hot ladder leaders the Sydney Swans at the SCG. Can the Demons take another big scalp? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
