Wagner falls into the rookies so we have 1 rookie spot to fill and we are 1 short on the senior list.

Jay Lockhart as rookie?

 
 

Wonder why we didn't rookie him, which we could have done as no one bid for him? 

The draft has become quite confusing, with all of the new categories and live trading of picks.

Who is the last player we've had on the list that sported a rats tail??

Uncle Bitters when he had hair???

What position did he play in Under 18's?  We really need a specialist small forward, hope he is it.  Certainly has a good amount of talent and potential.

Pretty sure he played forward but didn't hit the scoreboard an awful lot.

Thats a bit of a worry.  Would like to see his stats.     Might be another Dion Johnstone.

The 2018 TAC Cup Grand Final between the Dandenong Stingrays and the Oakleigh Chargers.

The game highlights Bedford’s inconsistency in games or perhaps his lack of physical maturity and endurance (something he will no doubt be working on in the MFC environment). He has a slow start, is excellent in the second and third quarters, kicking a nice goal in the second, and fades out as the Chargers make their comeback. 

(also watch out for James Jordon in the opening stanza).

Welcome aboard Toby another tough nut who likes to win the hard ball and tackle with intensity.


If young Toby is a patch on his namesake Peter Bedford. Brownlow medalist with the South Melbourne Swans, way back in the halcyon VFL days (some here may recall the Lakeside oval). He will be a most worthy recruit. Of course that is a very big “if”.

Moves like a steaming locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, images of a Rioli superman, for mine. Mild-mannered, too with just a touch of mongrel. Perfect acquisition.

Unless he chooses to play cricket over football.

Sounds like a player we need. When they say lively do they mean quick? We need pace, pace and more pace.

Loved it.

Outstanding young prospect 

Hard at it.  Tackles. Chases.  Knows where the goals are. Demons should grab with pick 50-55 range. 

Still amazed he wasn’t given a chance and we let him go 🤬

Giving Spargo a 4 year deal last year meant the end for Toby. Bedford has a 10 times higher ceiling than Spargo. Poor list management.

He was named 16 times for us in his final season for us. Shame it was an injury sub rule and wasn't used 8 of those times. Pretty sure we made it clear to him he would be getting more game time and wanted to keep him.

We run the risk of losing a few players this way if we don't introduce them consistently into our team. Turner, Howes, Laurie should all get significant game time next year you would think.

I too wanted Toby to be played ahead of others and be given a better go. But, the club gave him a good offer and he was not an untouchable. He made a good choice for himself.

 I’m happy for him to be playing regular good football. Finals footy even better.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
