Tim Smith to Debut

Featured Replies

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

 

Good luck.

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

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.

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.

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.


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.

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!

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

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

Go get em Bull.

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.

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.

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.


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 !!

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. 

 

 

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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
