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.

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.

Find this hard to believe.

1st year of a 2 year contract....

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

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.

Posted

It's surprising, but we see only a fraction of their interaction with the club. Obviously the club sees or knows something not visible from the outer.

Posted

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.

Posted

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

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??

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
