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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
