Latest murmurings of a crazy time

Pick 13 is gone & is now Pick 20.

Dees expect another top 25 pick to come their way via other deals in coming days also!

Draft wise, Dees confident of Toumpas @ 4 with Wines & Macrae rumored to be GWS pref choice at 3 & even Grundy has come into contenion at that pick if they lose Giles. If GC had #2 Toumpas would be gone, but now they dont, dees have a shot!

it has been said in another thread that Dom Barry could also be part of the Hogan trade , have you heard anything on this ?

I have heard a rumour (supposedly from the mouth of a StKilda director) that Frawley wants to go to St Kilda. Can somebody confirm that this is rubbish please!!!

He welcomed Viney to the club with open arms today

Neeld loves his pace & rebound from defensive 50, may be added as the final piece instead of the late pick GWS has been asked to add to complete the deal.

Will know by midday tomorrow we hope!

My god, this trade period makes our previous 5 year's trade efforts look like Crafternoon gatherings of the local CWA.

(Mitch Clark excepted, of course)

That's what happens when you have a coach who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, as opposed to one being lead around by the nose, by an incompetent recruiting manager.

so the deal might look like 3+13 for Hogan+20+Barry? Why Barry over someone like Jed Anderson Nudge (if you know)?

Has to be 13 to GC for Caddy.

I bet that was the sweetheart agreement with GC to pass.

They will probably announce it later so it seems like it just happened naturally. That's my bet.

Viney and pick 4 wont be sufficient enough to turn midfield around. 3 and 13s is overs for Hogan...

Everyone seems to be forgetting a kid Neeld drafted last year, in Rory Taggert. He hits the contest hard and has a good kick on him. I reckon he might have a thing or two to do with our re-shaping midfield.

If he can get on the park...

Hopefully something like Gysberts for Wellingham is put on the table. We need outside mids.

Pick 20 have much talent in the draft? Any chance Vlastuin or Simpson will drop that far?

Think im just shattered over no Stringer or Kennedy :(

Our midfield is mostly still very young. Grimes, Viney, Trenners, Howe, whoever pick 4 is, Jordie, Jones, Taggert. There's a midfield there that has to be developed. I don't think it's about finding players with talent at this point, it's about sorting our sh*t out as a club.

Ah the forgotten man!! Went to a couple Casey games this year, one specifically to watch him and definitely liked what I saw anyways. He is classier than Tynan in my opinion and showed a great leg hitting team mates.

Cant recall him smashing packs but remembered some great runs (Blease like) and hitting team mates lace out.

Something doesn't seem right to me with this pick 13 business.

How sure are you that it is part of the Hogan trade? It doesn't make sense to me why GC pay less for MD1.

I'm getting a sick feeling that if pick 13 is gone, GC have it. And we have a player that doesn't want to be on our list.

Someone tell me it can't be possible.

Getting Pedersen and Dawes in addition to Hogan is madness. We need midfielders - one key forward (Hogan) should be the aim with the rest spent on midfielders.

Hogan is 17. He's an investment in the future. Dawes and Pederson are investments in the present.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
