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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
