Why oh why wouldn't we draft him for a year ot two???


 

Good last quarter to get it back to 40 points. Melksham superb agree that he should be in the team this week. Turner and Tomlinson controlled the back half. Brown great first half quiet second half probably needs another game in the 2's. Harmes was excellent.

Tomlinson is in some sort of form. Must be brought back next week. Same for Jake Melksham just too good for that competition.

Tomlinson maybe, but there was nothing in Melksham’s game tonight that looked like an AFL return. Got silver service and added goals in junk time

You hate Melksham as much as Picket hates Spargo take your blinkers off.

Bowey and Disco probably best on. But both probably more good than great. Bowser didn’t exactly carve them up with ball use. And Disco dropped a few marks (probably could’ve had 10-15 intercepts) and occasionally made odd decisions with the ball.

Woey the best mid for the first half, played exclusively wing and was quieter in the second half.

Harmes ok. Dunstan in and out. Spargo had his moments but he’s trying to do too much rather than linking up. His defensive intensity was a cut above early thought. Laurie, the classy moments are great but there’s too many slow or not physical enough to get from traffic moments, played almost always forward, way too much Munro and White on ball today.

Verrell competed strongly in the ruck and tackled well. But he was playing 2 shortish stints per quarter and running on fumes quickly which wasn’t a surprise.

BBB - maybe? Certainly holding marks and looking more sure of foot. Can a ruck miss a week so we don’t lose mobility?

Howes - can he just step up and demand selection already. He’s such a pure mover and kick. Contest work just isn’t there yet.

I don’t hate him, he’s just not an AFL footballer in any role but sub or defensive undersized tall any more.

He hasn’t made appropriate defensive efforts or won ground balls for years and snagging a few goals in a comfortable win against out classed opposition doesn’t impress me.

Could Melksham come in for ANB? I know Goody won't do it but something has to change 

This is the equivalent of saying could Melksham come in for Steven May. 

Bowey playing for Casey, when we can’t hit a target, is a criminal offense.

Agreed yet ironically some of his kicking tonight was ghastly

Damn, forgot this game was on tonight.

Tried to get to the replay without seeing the score - to no avail.

Agree 100% DeeS although will get a few sad and vomit emojis but we were in front last night by 7 points and Goody brought his love child on in the last and what happened. He did nothing and the team did nothing. He also did nothing in the two's. Surely most now will realise for a small he has no pace, doesn't kick goals and IMO is not up to AFL standard.

SUB??? He replaces Chandler No questions asked😃

Please no...he does well at Casey but offers zero tackling pressure.

...we can't afford that at AFL level.

I'm with 'Red', he's probably played himself into the sub role.

A good first up effort I thought 'Dee'...

...has missed a lot of football but there's a lot to like about him.

When he gets his fitness levels up I reckon he will add a more to his game.

Can see him as a very mobile ruck/forward.

Also appears to have put on a lot of upper body size while in rehab.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
