Tim Smith to Debut

[jumbo returns 6,547]

As someone said in another thread, Pedo is being eased into his workload after an interrupted pre - season

I think he'll play this year

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Good luck.

May Geelong fans keep saying "who the [censored] is this guy?'

[Hogans Heroe"s 16]

No I doubt that Spencer will be playing unless a shock desicion comes in that Weid or Big Max is dropped......I think Jake will get his chance later on in the season though

I'm a big Pedo fan but you'd have to say he won't feature much in Goody's plans and seems to only be on the list to make up numbers and for depth. It's a shame because I think he can play. He's not a champion but he's certainly not a dud.

It's a long season

If Jetta was playing at Casey while other younger and more inexperienced players were getting a game I'd be saying the same thing about him too.

Jetta was playing for Casey during the JLT series.

Most commonly uttered phrase in the Casey game threads (and I presume in the crowd too) the last few years

"This guy should be playing AFL:".   And every time I watched him play I said the exact same thing.

Give them hell Bull.

[Lord Travis 10,278]

Good luck Bull! Raise Hell!

Well we know that he will crash packs and won't be thrown around.

Will probably put them through the big sticks if he gets the chance as well.

He also tackles to hurt.

Seems like a sensible and low risk selection with a fair bit of upside.

NEVER contradict me.

With Hogan and Vandenberg out, Smith's number's come up earlier than most would have anticipated, would love him to grab the opportunity with both hands.

[deelete my account 1,194]

Out of curiosity, and this is a bit presumptuous, but if he has two big games, how would this impact match selection? Would it be better to play Wiedemann predominantly in the VFL for one more year or alternate both of them?

If he plays really well, I think it's Vandenberg's spot in the team that is in doubt.

[Demonland 66,603]

I love watching these videos.

[Nasher 33,176]

He looks like an absolute tank in that video. Can't wait to see how he goes now.

That obviously depends on how Weideman goes amongst about another gazillion variables. I think the short answer is that if he has two big games they will find a way to keep him in.

Putting the cart before the horse a bit though!

Thought that was fantastic to see his joy at the news.

4 games in 1975, apparently. You must have the memory of an elephant.

Kim Smithh was a lean but very good forward. With his long hair and goal kicking prowess was a cult hero at Prahran.

[Constant Mongrel 571]

good on him, seems like a nice guy! but hard. good combo.

That's what it's all about! Turning dreams into reality. The big Bull can seriously give out a bruise or two! Well deserved mate.

 

All class from Trengove.  Even as he watches his own dreams evaporate he still finds the time and integrity to encourage teammates.

Just love Trengrove...so said that injuries have cruelled his career.

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

Goodwin has shown his hand.

He will keep playing Oscar and Weed as long as they keep following instructions. Only way they'll be dropped is if they don't follow team rules or lose fitness or form so egregiously there is no alternative but to drop them. Get games into them.

Joel Smith. Same deal.

Tim Smith. Same deal, at least until Hogan is back in. Get games into them, find out what they can do.

Pedo, Trenners, can get ready for a long season at Casey, and silently pray for a killer run of injuries.

[Demon Dynasty 16,044]

Finally!! Watching that surprise news from the club was the best feeling all year outside of beating the Saints. Another step towards Finals!

Stomp on dem Pussys Bull !!

[CHF 2,623]

It will make it interesting if Tim finds his feet in the team over the next couple of weeks and kicks 3 or 4 in each game. Hogan is available and then we have to work out how to accommodate all the riches.

 

Good luck Tim and give it a real shot.

YES BULL!!!!! So glad to see the big man get his shot this early in the season! The amount of hard work he has put in over the last 5-6 years has really paid off for him. Really happy for Tim.

Really happy for the Casey guys getting into the AFL, shows what a great partnership it is. 

 

[brendan 3,418]

How good was that video of him finding out, years of hard work paying off for your dream to finally come true, really makes you proud of the guys watching them
