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.

  • 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.

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
