    Im surprised that this keeps coming up. Bomber Thompson was never Bomba. Ken Sheldon the St Kilda coach was called BomBa because he looked exactly like Bomba the Jungle boy.  Sheldon looked like the actor who played Boy, the adopted son of  Tarzan in eight Tarzan movies, as well as his role as Bomba the Jungle Boy in a dozen B-Movies. They'd show these sometimes on Saturday afternoons. He was a big hit in the early 60's to kids and IRWC it was Lou Richards who coined it.  But its not that long into the past for this to be mistaken so regularly.

    No Bomber Thompson was always Bomber Thompson. I'm the same age and from the same area as him. Went to school with some of his mates.


    Funny, because I recall hearing Bomba himself talk about how he was always Bomba after the jungle boy. But maybe you guys know better?

    Bedford has the tools but needs to improve to learn how to use them. Eg run to dangerous spots and definitely get the ball more. Time will tell but he's not there yet.

    We might want to play him then. 

    I would have leaned into a small quick line up after the three losses as it became obvious that we were playing on fumes. 

    Is he a part of the forward line next year? Because if he isn’t in the 7 then he will be off this October.

    Exactly right. Can’t blame the kid for wanting out if Goodwin refuses to play him

    I’d have both Chandler and Bedford in for Spargo and ANB/Melksham. Would give a different look to our forward line for the better. Would also provide more ground ball presence and defensive pressure as well.

    Agree. His pace and goalkicking is a weapon. Goody just loved putting him as a sub. Even when our small forwards were out of form, Goody refused to bring in Chandler or Bedford.

    I really like Chandler love his kicking depth and tackling. Prefer to keep him over Bedford.

    100% SN.  This bloke is class personified with ball in hand which he'll get more of at AFL level IF he's given more chances to get more of it.

    Alsi probably the quickest guy on the list (see run down tackles/forward 50 and other areas, pressure at ground level).

    He maybe the switch clubs player we need to get a high pick in the draft. That could be used to along with compo we get from WA to get a KPF from somewhere. Sometimes you have to give up someone good to get a needed position player. Like a lot of MFC deals this trade period I think a lot  will happen late in the trade period.

    Ess is the front runner and they have picks:  4, 22, 40, 58, 76.  Can't see it being 22 more likely 40.

    Hopefully, Diodoro doesn't offer something stupid like 58 and slows down getting the deal done.

    Bedford is not the answer for us. 

    He's another that is just too inconsistent at AFL level. Elite speed but goes missing and questionable foot skills. I don't see how he improves our forwardline going into next year. 

    Chandler is much more well rounded and whilst doesn't have the pace he has Bedord covered in just about every other facet.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
