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

 

On that, a little birdy told me Keilty isn't too far off either

maaaaattteeeeeeee!!!!

Geess I thought the Casey partnership was terrible for the Dees.... seems otherwise!

 

Loved the video.

Would love to see a them extending the practical joke a bit more.

Like pretend to give someone a game and then say "Dees Candid Camera- sucked in you idiot- you'll never play afl level"

or tell someone they'd will be traded to Gold Coast- then tell them it's a joke .

Just a few random ideas for where we can take this

Well Pickett Fence said we should cut ties asap with Casey and start our own because the alignment doesn't work ?

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.

Tim Smith has been picked because he was the tall forward in the best form. Goodwin has shown his hand that if you are performing at VFL level you will get a game. On last weeks form at Casey the next tall option would be Keilty. Pedo is not in form at the moment and it would have been an injustice if he had been given a game this weekend. I am sure he will be considered again when his fitness and form warrant it.

Whhaattt??!! Someone on DL who is held is such high regret as PFence? Nnnoooo I'm shocked. 

 

Not having seen Casey for some time what are Tim's strengths. Can he mark overhead in the pack or on the lead? Can he play KFP at 192cm. Has he got any pace at all? Is he hard at the ball. Have not yet seen a description of his abilities.

Like a prank telling him he's been stood down for stealing stationary/post-it notes and then filming him breaking down in tears as his dreams are crushed perhaps?

Yes, watched him for last three years and most training sessions since he joined the club

Your questions pretty much answer all that he is capable of manny. Watched him a number of times with Casey and on his day he is a solid all rounder in all those aspects. Hard as nails and strong through body with tackles inside 50 as well as through the middle. Is a natural forward upstairs, reads the play up the field extremely well, knowing when/where to run to get to the drop of the ball and when to present up on the lead. He runs the angles well and is 'usually' super accurate anywhere inside 50.

Stepping up to AFL level might take a few weeks though so not expecting a break out game or amazing accuracy in First game or two. Might need 3 to 4 weeks to find his groove. I think if he is given that 3 to 4 weeks he will easily be our most consistent effective forward and will play an important role in shaping our destiny into our first finals series in 11 years.

Im predicting he will be our version of Podsiadly and have that sort of impact over the next 4 years or so, assuming he can stay healthy and remain on the park.

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.

Means we're moving forward then, doesn't it? : )


Smith is good alright.

He keeps his feet, can kick a goal.

Will prosper at Dees, live wire.

Im playing local footy in Gippsland Saturday morning, but by the time the games finished I should be able to drive down to Etihad just before the first bounce. Super keen to watch my first game for the season, even more so since the Bull is debuting! Cannot wait!

Can / does / will he do ruck relief?

When Tim kicks his first goal, I'd like the crowd to yell

BULL ....  YES!!!


Let's hope he's singing the song in a Gatorade shower on Saturday night eh.

Edited by Hogans Heroe"s

When he gets the ball or goes up for a mark it should be the long dragged out BUUUUULLLL! Like they do to Josh Bruce

Be nice to get a good Dees crowd to the game....we don't like cats supporters.

Telling someone they will play AFL for their club, then saying it is a joke is harsh. I don't think we should be doing that.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
