Seems like a nice kid. 

Hope he makes it.

    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.

    Nice to see him mark the ball and in front of the coaches as well

    Still only 19, watched him last year at Casey where he made steady progress

    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.

    Very nice game yesterday.  His last goal was a beauty.   

    Certainly was. It was the highlight of the day.

    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.

    Touch wood.

    If Bedford is making a flash as the thread title states, the last thing I'd do is touch wood, Tony.

    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.

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

    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 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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
