I have met Jack a few times at functions by the way and I really like him and love his tackling and pressure, Just cant play footy 

 

It blows my mind that you think Jack Viney can't play footy.

We missed him the entire time he was out.

    I suggest you watch him closely in my view a very limited footy player but then we all see things differently

    Dont we?

    I also like Toby and we know Jack has limitations but this is a pretty amazingly bad call. Not only has Jack played many important roles over the journey and has been our physical barometer, but Toby isn't an inside mid at all. I agree he's eye catching when he's there for Casey but there's more to inside midfield work than the odd burst of speed and acceleration.

    The absolute peak possibility here is that Toby follows the Shai Bolton school of development as a small forward who develops over a period of years into a very smart HFF/part time onballer. 

    But he hasn't even cracked the team yet on a regular basis...

    Plus, he can't kick to save himself. I'm so tired of people attributing a high level of skill to Toby seemingly because of his appearance/manner/heritage. He's a shocking shocking field kick and misses more targets than Viney.

    They are completely different players for completely different roles.

    I watch him closely, as I do every player

    I rate Bolton as one of the most gifted footballers would absolutely love him in red & blue - Bedford obviously light years away from that atm

    Can't say I've seen all of Bedford's games but tend to agree his disposal can be hit and miss

    Certainly something there to work on but needs to start showing consistency within games and from week to week

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
