And my post was in response to you saying he was useless. 

He had 12 supercoach points for the game and got dropped.

Clearly missing the context.

On your way. 

He's young and developing, I liked some of the things he did and he could well eventually take Jetta's role as the small defender permanently. For now he's in a bit of a battle to get a spot in the team.

 

Is Bedford getting a new deal? I think another year for the youngster.  Still raw and developing.  I think putting him and Pickett together for a few games might be handy and create some chaos and pressure for opposition defenders.  

Only played the 2 games and looked lightweight. He needs to play a run of games to find out if he has it or not. No point taking up a list spot and not giving him a proper run. Ditto Baker.

Why go D/L ers continually invent players to take Jay Lockhart's natural BP position or small defenders role???

We have him learning and providing run and carry and courage but our Coach somehow lost faith in Jay  about 5 games out In 2020.

More games into Locky would have him even further advanced for 2021 and we can experiment with potential Forward  crumbers with pace where we need more of a lift.

I am all for experimenting ( want Salem up forward or wing at least) but Goody won't change his mind ( Harmes) once he gets it into his Th..k head !!!
Looks as though Beddy will get at least another year to develop hopefully with Yze in his corner as a HF flanker. 

I would give him a one year deal,. He will be a third year player who was initially light and speculative. He has great speed and endurance and plays a role which we lack depth in. He just needs to put on a bit of muscle, clean up his kicking and build his confidence, Whilst he did not do much in his two games he showed glimpses of quality defensive pressure.  I particularly recall a defensive play that used his speed that got the ball to Koz.

Haha I’m going to confess being a complete tool here, I mixed up Locky and Bedo! I agree HF is Bedfords best position. 

At least the “young and developing” part was right. ?‍♂️

 

I was optimistic after his preseason and even Round 1 performance.
Not so sure now.

Struggles to find the ball and isn't damaging enough when he does. 
Kinda needs to be one or the other.

concerning for him that he's our only OOC player atm according to mitch cleary on afl.com.au's latest update

This is arguably the silliest comment ever posted in Demonland.

Disagree, It's the silliest comment ever made, by anyone.

That late goal multiple assist in Perth, where young Bedford followed up his kick into the forward 50, gained possession of the loose ball, with big boy McGovern steaming in, was full of merit. The No. 12 than stepped away with almost casual aplomb, leaving a perplexed McGovern in his dust. Kossie received a well directed handball to score his second goal on debut.

His second call up in Cairns, amid the flotsam of the truncated fast finishing final rounds of the season. Was as forgettable as the whole team performance. Down the plug hole, as the goodship SS Simon (and crew) foundered in the tropical maelstrom at Cazaly stadium.

As 2020 recedes far into the rear view mirror universe. All is forgiven!

May Toby move on up in season 2021, as he and  the other young rookies deserve to be retained, as their development was very much afflicted by covidus footballus interuptus XXXX.

Where will you play ANB another coaches favourite?

Assuming everyone is fit and firing Casey, however if Nibbler is getting games then the HFF would probably be his position. I could see him being used in a defensive role on oppo HBF, he’s not a bad tackler and has the tank to go with most players.

I'm not an ANB fan (except for in 2018) but he did actually play pretty well in the last couple of games and kicked some ripper goals.

I'm OK for him be on the list.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
