Only really seen him play a bit, not paid much attention to the kind of player he is, if he isn’t guaranteed a starting 22 spot, would he want to come to the club? If we got him, who would he replace in the best 22?

Man I REALLY want Bedford to be a part of the team. He offers glimpses that he could become a gun player if he’s able to continually get games at AFL level. I feel like he’s one of those guys that needs to play at AFL level to gain confidence and grow into the player he could be. Don’t really have any other reason than a ‘feeling’ about him. I don’t know if this carries across, but there’s some cricketers that are good at state level without dominating, then when they get into international teams and play at that level for a while, they turn into absolute guns and do dominate. This is Bedford I reckon. Saying that though, if I look at our Premiership lineup… I don’t know who he replaces and is able to keep out long enough form him to string games together.

Totally agree about ANB. Other club supporters don’t rate him at all (which I actually like) but he’s definitely in the ‘inner club superstars’ group like Spargo and Kozzie (although Kozzie still gets a lot of fan fare obviously) for what they do for the team. Was a very noticeable difference without ANB in the team.

Wow…. just looked him up, kicked 660 goals from a total of 265 games over 3 clubs… as a ruckman Must have been some player.

Mmmm playing like trash is extremely harsh. I’d watch West Coast right now if you really wanna see trash. We’ll hit our straps about 6/7/8 rounds out from finals and roll in with a head of steam. Great teams follow this formula and have been for as long as I’ve watched footy. No point being in form at the wrong time of year.

And even though we are playing nowhere near our best at the moment and have lots of room to improve, we are still winning… Would you like to be in form now? Or heading into final?

-You support the Premiership defenders that haven’t lost a game. -It isn’t 2011 Melbourne team. -You’re in the middle of the greatest football period of your life.

Becoming a big fan of Toby Bedford. Also, anyone else think our forward line looked more dangerous when Weid and Brown were playing up the ground? It felt like their defenders didn’t know who to go to and we made use of more options.

Game done. Not enough time for hawks.

Could be a tight finish here, they don’t look as tired I as thought they would

No, I get that he’s playing for his spot, but in a team built on anti-selfish play… it’s makes him stick out as being for himself.

Tommy wtf?? Free men everywhere inside 50

Bedford can play! Get some confidence into him and he’ll be alright

Bloody hell Maxy!!!!! Doesn’t miss from outside 50

I really like the look of Brown and Weid playing up the ground. Means oppo defenders can’t double team our forwards, everyone becomes a target.

Well done Toby!!!!!!

I was confident at half time to be honest, we absolutely dominated them the entire game and I was sure the goals would come. Good teams will inevitably score when the ball is locked in their forward half for so long. The obvious thing is kicking for goal and this happens from time to time. The one thing I did notice that others have mentioned already elsewhere, is that we were selfish at times with shots for goals. We’re at our best when instead of having a crack, we look inside for a better option or at least give the chance for a Spargo/kozzie/Fritsch to crumb a goal. To be fair, a couple of Richmond players absorbed a lot of our entries… it was just that we had so many. Saying that, we address that in our forward line and there’s no reason we can’t go undefeated. I personally wouldn’t like to be undefeated for my own anxiety levels going into finals, haha

Tiges fans on Punt Road End saying that Brisbane is the next best team behind us… and they waaaayyyyy behind us. One bloke says this is the best team he’s seen for a very long time. 😁😁💙❤️💙❤️💙 Rest of the comp is scared.

You gotta be smiling now Picket :)

Langdon you beauty

Oh we’re Yippin. Yippin bad.

Just gotta kick straight. We got this!

Still confident we’ll win by 3-4 goals. We’ll get a run on goals in the 4th as Richmond get tired. All they’ve done is chase.

Put Bowie Full-Forward for a bag of 10. Easy fix.
