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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
