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.

    people who are born into other cultures, in other countries are "ethnic" Why try to turn it into a swear word when its not?

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
