Joel Smith will definitely be traded at year end. He will ask to be traded imo. 
 

Baker and Rivers must play v Saints. Need them to match Hill and Jones for pace.

    No one other club is going to trade for Smith when they can just pick up a delisted free agent.

    Even if he asks for trade, no one is going to come banging down the door. Billy Stretch and JKH also asked to look at trade options last year and both barely got a nibble. And both made far more impact then Smith.

    In regards to Baker, I am fan and in the boat that he needs to start getting games. Goodwin needs to stop this idea of Vandenberg being a winger because its not working. Hunter and their outside mids exposed him on the weekend. Hate to think what Hill will do..

    Joel Smith played in the backline... christ our coaches have no idea.   A scratch match and they dont even play him forward.

    He’s kicked 1 goal in his entire career.

    This kid leads up well and would create real scoreboard pressure - to the backline he goes.  Modern coaching, i dont get it

    That is only the majority view. Goodwin prefers to do his experimenting off a four day break against the top side.

    Didn't he kick 4 or 5 in the pre-season game last year with the groin injury, when we inexplicably left him on and rubbed him out for the year?   

    Weird that they just abandoned that experiment.

    I think he got 4 against Brisbane in a practice match, but the way some carry on you’d think we have Allen Jakovich playing in the back pocket.

    FD don't have an idea they shouldn't have been on  the list to start with let alone play forward.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
