On the program One Week at a time last night DB made specific mention of Jordan Gysberts as an up and coming talent.

He is mentioned in despatches...

"in form young Demon Jordan Gysberts who again showed why he was drafted, with a strong performance around the stoppages. Gysberts seems destined for bigger things." match report vs Bullants

He was amongst the best against Coburg the week before.

What chance is he to play?

I didnt catch all of the DB discussion but boy can he talk! What pearls of wisdon / insight from the coach?

I was just about to say the kid really deserves a game this week, fly him up to Darwin will be a great experience. This kid is impressing so far playing extremely well at senior level for casey against men, considering he's still a teenager. Gotta say well done B.P so far.

28 possies this week :)

Yes, really looking like a great pick. Hard to see him getting in this week though, because Miller and MacDonald are probably more likely, and then if they want Wonna in to play in Darwin, that doesn't leave much room.

Against that, there's no Casey game this week (Interstate match), so he might as well go to Darwin, even as an emergency.

I think Gysberts is a shoe in to play against Port. No inside info but I will be very suprised if he doesn't play.

Likewise.

Form? Tick.

Low key entry? Tick.

Plenty of spaces in the side (injury/omissions)? Tick.

Development year (commitment to inject games in to key future players)? Tick.

The planets are aligned. There isn't going to be a better opportunity to bring him in than this week.

I tend to agree. I don't think he would have been mentioned the way he was unless he was very close to a game.

Let's not forget he's what we got in exchange for McLean. Here's hoping in a year or so we'll be just as happy with this deal as we are with the Johnstone/Grimes deal...!

Looking forward to seeing the kid on the big stage!

Think that goes for all of us

2 things i like about him is he has clean hands and doesnt lose his feet

there is a lot of love for gysberts on this site...seems the only thing he can't do right at the moment is get into the senior side.

We just want to witness his game style in the big league.. So we can too see where he's at.

Seeing him at the VFL is one thing, lets see him in Darwin.

Inclined to agree. Just Bailey mentioning him coming into the side is enough for me. :)

That said, don't be surprised that when Bailey meant "soon", he probably meant in the next couple of weeks, barring injury. Not against Port. He might introduce him against Geelong down at "Skilled"...what an introduction that would be.

Change of tack. :)

I have no doubt if Tom or Jack weren't playing, young Jordan might've played already.

Is 4 18 y.o midfielders too many? Nah. Wouldn't mind seeing Nifty back in too.

He is certain to play seniors this week.

Expect to see a few players being rested. Melbourne looked tired last week. No run, no spark. There is no doubt some of our young boys are tiring both physically and mentally. No upside in sending them to the other side of Australia to play in the most taxing conditions when there ready made replacements that need to be given opportunity.

He is a certainty to play - along with Miller

Oh oh...you said "certainty"(re: Gysberts), you know what that means...it most often means quite the opposite. Then again, you may have miraculously nailed it ! Not hard considering they were mentioned high in the best from the Casey game.

I'd say Gysberts would be a certainty if we weren't playing at 10am in the heat up in Darwin.

I think the club will hold him back a week or 2 so he can make his debut at home infront of his friends and family.

good point...but if the team gets two wins in two weeks it will make it hard?

It might, but that's probably how they'll play it.

Even if it does, I get the feeling Gysberts will force his way into the side eventually.

As it is he is still showing steady improvement at Casey, so he's still getting something out of playing there.

He hasn't plateaud.

Gysberts will play this year... but i don't see the rush. He is still a developing player. He needs to get stronger and fitter.

If he keeps playing at a level above VFL, no doubting he'll push his way into the team soon

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
