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.

    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.

    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.

    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??

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
