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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
