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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
