Finally.

A strong statement from the club (almost insulting.)

MFC:

'Yeah, were still paying you, so we jiggled somethings around and found a spot for you out on the rookie list.

Someone else might decide to take a punt on you, if so - Good Luck and all the best - if not, you may as well hang around here and help out the Casey boys..'

Love it.

    i think melbourne have taken the approach of putting the best available players on the 'rookie list'...that being meeesen and newton...doesn't matter we need a key forward...Newton is best available to go on the rookie list. In my opinion..

  • Quote
    I don't see much in the way of deserving application from Newton.

    He's still connected to the club, and that's, arguably, more than he deserves.

    Agreed.

    The mature-age rookie rule is fantastic and I'm glad we've taken full advantage of it.

    I'd rather have picks 34 and 55/1 PSD available, than Newton and Meesen on the primary list.

    Could this move (esp as far as Newton is concerned) have anything to do with Mitch Thorp training with us? The idea being that it makes it safer to take Thorp in the PSD, because we're not left high-&-dry if he gets injured (etc.) with Newton as a fallback option.

    It frees up a spot on the list from a player MFC dont think will be a serious AFL consideration this year.

    And could the Meesen move mean that we'll see Martin more in the ruck this year? Otherwise, our ruck stocks are really fragile with Jamar who was fit for only a handful of games in 2009, & PJ who's only for 'back-up' at best, then a 'true' rookie in Spencer and a 'pseudo-rookie' in Meesen who may now be on his way out. Especially because all 4 of their contracts will finsh at end 2010.

    Either way Meesen was not the answer and was earmarked to go in 2010 regardless. He might not be the only one. Martin will get more time in the ruck regardless of the Meesen decision.

  • Quote
    actually...how does it work if say Meesen gets picked up ? Would any subsequent contract simply make null and void ( by agreement ) the MFC one.. Do we have to pay the ( MFC ) contracted amount for the first year with pick up club topping up , if required ?

    or are we simply off the hook with new club to sort it out ( highly unlikely but offer it up for discussion )

    Has Anyone got an answer here?

    Also, If they stay on the rookie list at the club for 2010, then we will have a very strong side at Casey Scorpions. Even without Valenti. Interesting to note that the 3 melboune listed players who played in the the 2009 final for the scorpions are now de-listed. Newton, Valenti, and Zomer.

    personally I don't like this... I think Newton hasn't been given the opportunities he's deserved... Daniel Bell should count himself extremely lucky to still be on the senior list...

    Bolded bit I agree with. Bell should consider himself lucky to still be on this list. As should PJ.

    But the unbolded bit I disagree with. Newton's had his chance. Evidently the FD's seen enough.

    Great result... I'm delighted we now have 7 picks in the main draft - although its disappointing that we have no scope to rookie a young tall

    I will have to accept my two "list cloggers" ie Bartram on the main list and Hughes on the rookie list

    You need to spend more time at the club then Hoopla -I'm sure you'll find the way to get Bartram and Hughes delisted. Maybe you can put your mongrel into Jack Watts!

    Ugh.

    I'm convinced DC, you're either: -

    a) one who stalks hoopla and only answers to hoopla

    or

    B) perhaps you are indeed hoopla

    Here is a question you only ask once:

    Can Darren Cuthbertson stop willing posters to violate our future CHF?

    Thankyou.

    Were Bartram, Cheney and McNamara signed on one year contracts?

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
