Bedford Makes a Flash


Demonland

Recommended Posts

  • Demonland changed the title to Bedford Makes a Flash

Some pre draft experts last year were of the opinion he has the best potential X factor of all players in last year's draft. Look forward to seeing it in 2020 and beyond.

Must be a chance for Round 1.

With all due respect to Bedford, he is no chance for a gig come Round 1.  Too many in front of him.

However, his game yesterday was encouraging, even if it was only a scratch match.  If anything it shows some improvement to our overall depth for 2020.

Agree with you Wiseblood on Bedford, but I think our depth has improved considerably this year. And because of that I think selecting a best 22 come round 1 will be a headache. Baring the injured players, I think there could be 31 players vying for 22 spots - and I cannot remember the last time we were in such a good shape.

Has always looked a likely prospect at training but last year had minimal disposals for Casey. Obviously couldn’t get his own ball but looked good on the weekend. He is now running second for endurance in the club time trials, is quick and agile so there is something to work with there. Let’s hope for consistent good form at Casey and maybe a cameo later in the year in the firsts.

Thought he looked very promising; perhaps not pushing for early rounds, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a debut at some stage this season.  He's a great athlete and has completely transformed physically - an exciting prospect.

One of things I'm really excited about is the synergy/ bond that Kozzie and Bedford seem to have developed already. I think they are very supportive of each other. I can just see something special building in future years and see them causing havoc like Ryan and Rioli have done  (well up till Rioli had a brain fade).

The comedy festival is still 2 months away mate. You're using up your best material too early.

The Flasher in my local park was considering retirement but he decided to stick it out for another year.

Haha!  I once told my dear old mum this very same joke and she seemed to find if funny.

Later, I overheard her telling her sister but she told the punchline as "He decided to hang around a bit longer".

So, even though she stuffed up the punchline, incredibly the joke still worked!

Apparently he flashed at two elderly women last week. One had a stroke. The other wasn't quick enough.

Anyway, this thread was supposed to be about a Melbourne player in Bedford, not a Carlton player in  commodore.

Played Round 1 (6 months ago)  and hasnt been seen since.  I would love to see him play tomorrow night.   Thats if he is even in the hub. 

Pickett and Bedford both in the team please now that we have two exciting talls (Weid and LJ) providing a nice contest.

 

Two talls -   LJ ,Weid

Two mid sized forwards  -  Fritsch, Melk

Two small forwards -  Pickett,  Bedford

Its a nice mix.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
