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%.

    ... virtually one of our best in that first quarter!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
