Whats the deal with Taggert, brand new recruit and plays 2 games for the season? You got to be kidding me.

Basically a wasted draft pick. Kids drafted this year will be ahead of him from the word go.

If you watched his game at Box Hill you would know that this kid can really play. Poise, good size, decision making and great kick, seems like the type of player we need.

Pity he didn't get on the park enough but a really good pick for a 2nd rounder, one year in the system playing or not still keeps him ahead of the game.

I notice the number of Demons eligible to play for Casey in the finals (after this week when selection is open) is now down to only eight – Eight Demons eligible for VFL finals

Jake Spencer is the player taken off the previous list, presumably because he played too many AFL games (?).

That’s a blow to the Scorps and might explain why, despite finishing on top, they are fifth in the line of favouritism for the flag according to the Herald Sun.

In that case then it isn't worth unsettling the Scorps winning ways to give Fitz one meaningless game & put Spence in the Casey team, for just one match? then further unsettle them again into the first week of Finals.

Are we trying to stop Casey again???

We all know we want pick 3 & 4 in the draft, so why wreck Casey for nothing?

We do not even need to consider them in our selection process-although it's nice that you have .

Casey is getting a lot out of the relationship already .

We can be mean to her and use her how we like.

and dump her if she starts to get annoying .

Also not bringing in players who are playing well in the VFL at the expense of players who are losing in the AFL may well get us investigated by the afl if one of our players shoots their mouth off in a couple of years ;)

I always thought Valenti showed a bit for us - more than others that stayed when he got the boot.

KC, has Valenti had another really good year or is he just favourite based on past performances in the award?

Valenti is a good VFL footballer but is not tall enough and too slow to go further. At VFL level, he's very much like another Liston contender, Tom Couch, a ball magnet who dominates.

Is Cook playing in the Development League game, or is he on he bench in the firsts?

so if a team is losing, it means they don't take their side seriously? maybe their VFL players just aren't that good? seriously mate pick the right time and place to have a go at other clubs

Let's see Box Hill Hawks in the VFL finals and Collingwood out - the conventional wisdom is that standalone resrves is better but I'm not so sure.

standalone teams in VFL serve a different purpose to those of alligned !!

It's on TV anyway..

Sunday, ABC, 2pm.

Sh!t, sorry.

TV guide give me dodgy info.

Qtr time - Scorpions up - 2.4.16 to 1.0.06.. but we had a 4 goal wind and wasted it!

Magner hurt his ankle.

Quarter Time: Casey 2.4.16 to Werribee 1.0.6

The Tigers would be happy as it's a strong wind and that goal against it was invaluable, especially after Casey's strong start.

Stats leaders: Clay 8, Gysberts 7, L.Tynan, Collins, Couch, Magner 6.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
