Good call. Unheralded game.

I've been surprised to hear so many on here talk about him in the same breath as Windsor, Langford and Lindsay. I haven't seen anything close to that. But I really liked his game on Saturday.

Six possies is low, obviously, but as you said, kept presenting hard outside 50 and made smart decisions when he got it.

Also with Tholstrup TTD he was off the ground for 20 minutes with concussion protocols as well. Fortunately he was OK he is such a personable kid, loves to tackle as well.👍😁

    He had a small moment of class where he marked the footy on the half back line and instantly used his opposite foot to hit a target up about 15 metres away...he's an interesting prospect is Koltyn, haven't really got my head around him just yet!

    His opponent had 7 score involvements and 27 touches. If he was doing a tagging job, I wouldn't have thought he did a great job.

    Thought his game was pretty overrated, but the most pleasing thing was (aside from early on), his ball use was better.

    Yeah but only 5 clearances (season average of 9) and only 345 metres gained (season average of 435). Plus of the 27 touches only 9 were kicks (down from 13 average).

    I reckon Serong will only have a handful of games this year with less impact than this.

    Wasn't a great stopping game IMV. You want to keep them under 20 possessions and sub 5 score involvements I reckon.

    Anyway, it was a better performance from Jack and something to build on. More to do with his better ball use than anything else IMO.

    It wasn't meant to be necessarily. It was certainly to curb his influence, make his possessions less damaging and hurt them the other way.

    JV did a great job

    You'd be doing bloody well to keep him to under 20 touches. He's probably dropped under that one or twice in 4 years!

    I do agree though.

    I hadn't really factored in Jack's own score involvements, which equalled Serong's, and Jack also had one more direct goal assist (2).

    So I think I might have underrated Jack's game.🤦

    Indeed - was arguably one of the best games of career. All while negating Serong, Jack had:

    • A player rating of 19.9, behind on only Koz and Brayshaw (who had a phenomenal 26.2 points - Serong had 13.2)

    • 25 disposals (Serong 27)

    • 458 metres gained (Serong 345)

    • 10 contested possessions (Serong 13)

    • 5 clearances (Serong 5)

    • 7 inside 50s (Serong 3)

    • 7 score involvements (Serong 7)

    That's some game for a bloke supposedly 'tagging' (which he wasn't really)- amazing he didn't get any coaches' votes.

    But Viney also did damage the other way so it wasn’t a full negating role IMO.

    Why are we even remotely concerned about what pick Essendon get from us in the draft?

    What's done is done and in the whole scheme of things, it doesn't matter

    Besides which, they gave us their 1st round pick last year and we drafted Lindsay with that pick

    Remember it's just a number and at least 3 of the top 10 picks each year are busts. And that's factual, not an opinion

    And Lindsay looks like he will be a fine player anyway

    Don't sweat the small stuff

    Future captain material and I don't like to anoint the young kids too early. He is a smooth operator on and off field.

    All 4 Muskateers look to be switched on up top. And all 4 are either 18 or 19

    We really should be looking at giving Jason Taylor some more picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft. On top of JT having the Midas Touch, we develop our youngsters very well these days

    It's a better percentage play than recycling players from other clubs. We've got enough experience

    And I'm with you on Lindsay. Excellent footy IQ and he's only just become eligible to vote!

    You could easily argue that his scoring means it was a stellar tagging 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.

      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.
