Being reported that Jai Sheahan has been moved on (Clark-HS tweeted).

The bits I saw of him in the VFL I thought he looked clean and had upside.

    Had to make room and was the lowest on the pecking order

    MFC supporters think that about all their players.

    No way sheahan has alot more upside then quite a few on our list. From what I have seen I have really liked hope we keep him. Would prefer to see Fitzpatrick get the chop first can't understand all the love for him!

    true, but on the other hand you are ready to trade out Tom Mc.

  • Quote

    Interesting if true. Thought he was an obvious keeper.

    Tom Mc for pick 3, hell yes. Easily have enough talls down back and if we could pick up Grundy it would be massive. Premier A grade goal kicking ruckman for 12 years. Would thrive under the new ruck rules.

    Just a rookie. Would imagine Nicholson, Evans, Magner and Couch would be in front of him in terms of promotion. Imagine only one of them would be promoted,Nicholson for me, probably other three retained on the rookie list. Would have thought Leigh Williams would have gone before him though, being three years older.

    Would make a good step ladder for Howe.

    Surely not, Sheahan was unlucky to get a game in the firsts this year. Played well most games at Casey.

    is that right? I thought for non-interstate rookies it was only 1 year with the second year optional.

    No, not certain

    Ed. but still don't believe it!

    i wouldnt be suprised if this was a case of a journo getting names confused. Maybe Davis or Williams?

    from what I have seen of Cook, Davis and Sheahan - Sheahan was the best of three (I have seen nothing of Williams)

    Watched quite a few Casey games on TV this year and from what I saw I would rate both Sheahan and Williams ahead of Cook and Davis.

  • Quote

    Davis, Cook, Williams would head a long list ahead of Sheahan in my eyes. Mobile, tall, uses ball well, plays back and forward, huge upside. Unless there is something wrong with his attitude then he is a keeper for me.

  • Quote

    If True...maybe it was an attitude thing, I remember people touting him as going around pick 30 odd. Maybe clubs thought he had the mitch thorps about him (arrogance) and avoided him but Melbourne thought a rookie spot for a year wouldnt hurt?

    In saying that...from what I seen at Casey he showed some promise.

  • Quote

    We have enough talls.

    We should use the RL for speculative mids and attempt to find another Barlow.

    And in-state rookies are not given 2 year contracts - they are allowed to stay on the RL for two years if they and the club keep them on.

    it would be fair to say jay Clarke has been far from spot on with his tweets the past 3-5 weeks

    ill wait till the club announces it before i believe it

    Article here about Sheahan from the notorious Jay Clark himself leading up to last years draft. Mentions a lack of urgency and inconsistency.

    Mustn't have seen many Casey games this year then! And besides, Fitz is on senior list and Jai merely a rookie.

    I did heard KB and Balmey discussing (and I think I heard it right) this morning that the rookie list will be reduced from 6 to 4 next year. Can anyone confirm this??

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
