That’s an aggressive contract that suggests we see Tobes as more than depth. Not sure I really see it, and if I was his manager I’d probably suggest he go with the team that provides him easier game time. Tricky decision for him. 

Going to need him if we have an inkling kozzie might go

    Didn’t place in the top 10 in Casey b and f despite playing majority of the year there

    He's got good speed but no more / less than Chandler, for instance, and none of the same ability to win and use his own ball

    He played 9 home and away games. 2 finals. That's why he didn't poll well.

    Gut feeling but I think we need to keep Toby now. Keen to see him with another pre-season under his belt.

    Looking forward to hearing which speedy player/(s) we are in discussions with for a trade?! 

    Bit of a hit to lose your 2 fastest players, when you don’t have an abundance of speed.

    I didn't think this kid was going to make it when he was drafted. Now I'm upset to see him go.

    I think we try trade our 2nd round selection (32) with Bedford for GWS 2nd round selection (21)

    Works out to roughly pick 49 for Bedford which i think is fair.

    The game is becoming more and more about speed and transition. A shame to see him go.

    Another downside of not giving young players enough opportunities?

    Sad to lose him because there’s still some upside to his game but it’s hard to keep guys who can’t get regular game time. He makes a lot of sense for GWS

    yup just read this on twitter to, sad loss.

    Time for Chandler to get his chance, and develop Andy Moniz-Wakefield in the VFL

    Fair based on the amount he has played. 

    But an absolute waste from an MFC perspective. Develop him up for a few years, to then not give him a decent opportunity when he is ready for AFL is a real head scratcher for me.

    All the best to Toby if he ends up at the Giants, had a few good moments this year and was keen to see more next year.

    Will Kozzie have any housemates left?

    Then 21 for Grundy

    I haven't seen enough of them to compare, but how do Bedford, Chandler and Spargo compare in their ability to tackle and make those tackles stick?  Spargo does this pretty well for a small forward, and I suspect that Goody puts a lot of value in this.

    Have seen just about nothing of Chandler - his one run this year was as I recall a part game (as sub) v North in which he was very harshly IMO suspended for two games and wants seen again.  I recall that he was going very hard at it when the incident occurred.

    I think Chandler is the one. He had a great game in the VFL grand final and I saw him kick 5 in horrendous conditions at whiten oval from every angle you can imagine.

    That is a shame. I think he has a future and to get him through the our academy and now he wants out. We can say no but you’d only do that if we see him in the best 22. If he is requesting perhaps we have said that he isn’t.

    • Grapeviney changed the title to Toby Bedford requests trade to GWS (updated)

    This is one where I'll have to trust the FD. I would be keeping him.  If the kozzie talk is half true you'd think Bedford needs to stay. Having said that I think Chandler and a couple of others are also close to the small forward 22 slot

    Ramifications of Goodwin not playing players, that IMO deserved a better go. Disappointed to see him go, Goody can’t keep playing favourites

    A bit of a positive conspiracy theory...

    - Toby wants more opporunity
    - Rumours about Kozzy and Port
    - Toby lives with Kozzy
    - Toby has requested a trade

    🤔

    Seeing ANB come 8th in the B&F this year, would be enough to make anyone competing for his position want to depart.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
