Is he a lockdown type defender?    We are desperate for a Jetta replacement

Dogs were putting him under pressure all day with repeat forward entries and he stood up really well

He was supercompetitive one v one, even left his man to jump and punch the ball away 

His disposal was good under pressure with no costly turn overs

He's great to watch

Pretty lean, as you would expect given he has probably been training his guts out trying to win a spot but given his ability and determination it's not a major issue

Why am I not shocked? Some clubs are getting top 10 players from NGA and we get donuts. Well we got Bedford. Can't think of anyone else. Absolutely screwed again by the AFL taking away

5 games in the seniors should put an end to that.  

On a serious note though, great news and best of luck to both.  Keep going hard!

No return date for Smith or Hibberd, Lockhart out probably for a month, Nietschke and Hore done for the season. 

We needed a small defender for a needs basis, so even if the kid could barely lace up his boots he had a path to a list spot. 

If he’s showing promise at training and VFL level and is aggressive and athletic with scope for development then it’s a no brainer.

Was he #40 ?

I was at the game, but wasnt sure who Smith was. Only clue was players calling #40 "Deaks"

If so, then agree that he looked pretty good.

haven't seen any footage of him but he comes across in the interview well. mature and ready to put in. love that he's into the idea of locking someone down as a defender too.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
