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.

    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.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
