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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
