Played very well across half-back for Casey but struggled to force his way into the senior side, only playing two games for the year. Hard bodied and uses the ball well but a lack of pace hurts him - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

I think his lack of pace is his only glaring weakness. The problem is that speed is hard to get. Some people just can't get quick no matter how hard they work at it.

I like Fetta, but it is very clear that next season will be his last if he cannot crack that lineup and stay there for more than 2 weeks.

Many poster's here will be well aware of my glaring love for Kyle.

He is young. He is a tough nuggety type. He does the courageous stuff. He loves to get his hands dirty. He's an honest player.

2nd by a fraction of a margin in the Casey Seniors' B&F to B. Miller says he is solid in defence - and this is true as he was always amongst "the best".

He probably isn't in Melbourne's best 22... but he's a damn good depth player if a Bartram (in particular) or a Rivers goes down.

Kyle's an interesting case but, like James Strauss, needs to be persisted with I think. If Strauss can get a 2-year deal, Kyle has to be rewarded as well.

Has a lot of work to do.

I don't see a future for him in the senior side.

Agreed. He gets a lot of love on all the MFC forums, and I just can't see why. At AFL level he has no real strengths (oh sorry, except "a bit of mongrel") and doesn't have a position with his name on it.

I understand the logic in the two year contract he was given, but I think it was for naught. Won't make it.

I agree,sometimes you need these players to keep pressure on the other guys & for a bit of injury protection.Not every player on every list will be a star otherwise you wouldnt need over 40 blokes on a list.Some players take longer to develop or to find the best position for them.Now i havnt been on here for a while but last time i was everyone was saying delist Jamar as hes garbage,Sylvia to but look at the years they just had & to think lots of Demon supporters would of traded them for unknown players.Sometimes you have to have faith & go with what we have,its no point trading or delisting for players that arnt any better

According to Twitter, player/manager Alex McDonald says Demon Kyle Cheney could be traded by the club.

I would suggest some form of low key trade might transpire because he would only be worth a mid to late draft pick.

Kyle will only be going to one place-China with our football club.

Kyle had a very good year at Casey, as shown by his second placing Gardner-Clark Medal. However, it's hard to see how he was ever going to become a regular best 22 player for the Dees, and his trade to the Hawks seems to be a win / win for both parties. Good luck at Hawthorn Fetta.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
