Morton has been told he is completing for a spot on the wing, finally will get a full year to have a crack at his favorite position. Don't forget this guy is a goal kicker.

Morton was doing a session with Misson this morning down at AAMI.

Good on him, I wish the rest of the Casey Scorpions all the best for 2013 also.

Do I detect a note of sarcasm there stuie?

Who me? Why would I be sarcastic when people are saying "get rid of Gysberts, Petterd, Jetta, Bennell, Rivers.... oh but keep Morton, 2013 will be his year"........?

Hate to spoil your night stuie but I am more than happy to see the back of Petterd, Jetta and Bennel. Rivers will probably leave of his own accord and our friend Morton I am neither here nor there.

What will probably save him is he has a contract and suitors don't seem to be beating down the door for him.

We are last mate a number of changes have to be made, those out of contract are in the most danger

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying keep all those players, far from it, I just find it strange that people can still see potential in Morton but not in those players that have actually shown more IMO. I know the guy is contracted etc etc, I just find the hope and the hate all a bit displaced.

Does anyone have an idea in light of recent additions how many players we have to move on at present?

I have got to admit I have lost track

Assuming Nicho and Evans are upgraded then, Viney, Byrnes, Pick 4, Dawes, Barry, PSD3 = 8

With Moloney, Green, Jurrah gone its 5.

Rivers compo will cancel itself out so 5 players to get delisted at this stage.

Now that would make an interesting thread "who are the Five?"

That would generate some interesting heated debate.

It would, its also interesting to note (I am assuming the rookie list becomes 4 this year with a larger senior list of 40?), then with Lawrence gone, Evans and Nicho upgraded we will have one free Rookie spot. So it may be possible to re-draft a delisted player with this spot if we need to, so possibly only four more will go.

I have a feeling that is what will happen to Bartram.

Me too, I would assume Bartram to be rookie listed.

Bate gone.

Cook to be delisted (Lets face it, Clark, Dawes, Martin (if he stays), Fitzy, Sellar, Rivers (If he stays), Garland, Pedersen (If we get him) and even possibly Watts are rated ahead of him in his current position).

The next two are debatable.

The "four" I would delist are.......Bartram...due to injury

Bennell

Cook

Davis

I think we will lose Rivers,Gysberts and I would consider Jetta,Martin, to go......

Assume – off x10 to senior list

  • Moloney and Rivers as Free agents
  • Green retired,
  • Delist - Bennell, Bate, Bartram, Jurrah, Cook, Petterd, Davis
  • Delisted rookies – Lawrence, L Williams

Assume –plus 10 to senior list

  • Free agents: Byrnes
  • Trades: Pedersen, Dawes
  • Draft:
    - Barry, Hogan, Viney
    - Pick 4, Pick 58, Pick 65 used as Nicholson (Rookie upgrade)
  • Pre season draft:
    - pick 3.
  • Rookies: pick 3, 21, 39
    (retain Evans yr 3, Sheahan yr 2 , Couch yr 2, Magner yr 2)

No idea why you would assume that Leigh Williams will be delisted. Looked pretty good when he was out there and considering he suffered a very serious illness he didn't have much of a shot at it. Definitely a keep for mine, especially if he has signed a 2 year rookie contract as per usual.

Would prefer to keep Davis rather than Martin particularly after Rivers departure. We would get some more weight for the compensation also. Suspect we have two more trades to be involved in.

You probably recall they did the exact same thing with Jordie Mckenzie in order to have them play out the full 3 yrs as a rookie they promise contract them an iron clad upgrade.

I do remember that, but I thought it was a special case rather than the norm.

was talking to a mate that won a flag along side JB for the carey park panthers. said he spoke to him the other day and has been told they'll give him 2 years subject to how the rest of the trade period goes.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
