Tim Smith doesn't appear on the MFC website player listing.

Does that mean he doesn't really exist, or maybe in a parallel universe he does exist.?????

    Disappointed that they didn't give Keilty a run - he deserves it.  Tim Smith is a very average VFL player who plays a couple of very good VFL games a year.  His skills are barely up to VFL standard.

    Tim is big and strong enough he can take contested marks and knows where the goals are. Although he has played a handful of games l think his majority of games are against the Tigers and played ok. I think Tim will be important to give Gawny a rest when needed.

    A good hard footballer who gets his chance and  will give his all. You cannot ask for more.

    28 yo Bull from FernTree Gully - don't mess with him.  He'll be told to throw his weight around.

    I wonder if Weed will be 2nd ruck and Smiddy sticks to the fiddy?

    I think we should ask our skillful players to provide the skill and our grunt players to provide the grunt and our running players to provide the run.. then we might look like we are playing as a team.

    Disappointed they didn’t pick [rookie listed VFL player], who is obviously vastly better than [other rookie listed VFL player]. Fair dinkum.

    Tim Smith flies for the ball expecting to mark it in one grab. The Weid flies but does not look to be taking the ball lately, just touching it. Tim is a crap kick when in the ones or twos it must be said, whereas the Weid has a fantastic fluent motion and doesnt miss many.

    A  goer with mental toughness is better than skill and Tim Smith has mental toughness. He will have a  HONEST RED HOT GO unlike some others.  Football is more than  SKILL. Don't you agree?

    Yes.  But you did say "A good hard footballer who gets his chance and  will give his all. You cannot ask for more." I'd like skill as well.

    Tim Smith played two really nice games for us last season, before getting injured.

    If I recall it was in our two biggest wins of the year too. He was getting plenty of touches, laying heaps of big tackles and doing the ruckwork in forward 50.

     No idea what he will do tonight but I like that hes back in.

    and at VFL level he never recovered that form

    Gee Nasher, you don't think one rookie listed player can be much better than another. For example on Pies Rookie list Brody Mihocek and Max Lynch or Giants Mumford or James Buckley or Saints Callum Wilkie or James Alabakis or Roos Zurhaar or Tom McKenzie. You don't think one might be taller and better to help out in the ruck, as well as either attack or defence. You don't think one might have better form than another. You don't think one might have earned a chance while another hasn't. You don't think people might be disappointed that the bloke they thought was coming isn't.

    Fair dinkum.

    I could definitely handle another game for us like that Carlton one.  Might get our percentage back to somewhere over 50%.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
