THE RAGING BULL

Tim Smith has worked hard to establish a place on the club's main list and is a more than handy depth player.  He had a handful of senior games in mid season but didn’t quite do enough to establish a place in the Melbourne side, returning to Casey in the last half of the year where he shouldered the ruck duties and played forward.

    A soon-to-be 28 year old, undersized key forward who couldn't hit the side of a barn from 10 metres away for most of this season.

    Amazingly he will be our only key forward depth if Hogan departs - we are in for a world of trouble if Tom McDonald is injured or if Weideman reverts to his early season form.

    That's why we should go for Max King in the draft and not a runner. Runners grow on trees quality talls don't.

    That's the glass half empty view.  They probably said that about Townsend in the 2016 off season.  They are no world beaters but can play a role and every list of 44 will have some. 

    Glass half full he competes strongly everywhere in the air and on the ground and applies maximum forward pressure.  He's cheap, seems to have good character and is ready to play.  IMO it was either him or Pedo retained this year as insurance.

    If we bring in Preuss as planned T.Smith wont be our only tall forward option after TMac and Weed.

    Smith is Handy for depth. He buys us some time with Weeds if his form does indeed dip. Bull plays hard and has good hands. He won't beat top defenders but does offer similar value to Pedo when firing.

    Except he can't kick straight.  Big problem for a Forward.

    I was under the impression Smith's key attribute and point of difference was his elite kicking for goal?

    Only managed 4.5 in his 5 or so AFL career games.

    seemed to really go down hill through the season too. Missed a sitter in the VFL grand final

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      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?
