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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
