Jai Sheahan moved on?

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??

i think(?) the change is just to the minimum not maximum

Not alot to be honest maybe a handful. From what I did see (and read) sheahan showed promise and spent a fare bit of his time down back when most of his football has been a key forward. Yep Fitzpatrick played some good footy for Casey I just don't see him as an afl player, watched him closly in the tac the year he was drafted didnt like him then and nothing has changed my mind since. Everychance he will proove me wrong as the footy department seem happy enough too persist with him. Also pretty sure we can cut Fitzpatrick and upgrade sheahan if we like!

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

Does the name Morton sound at all like Sheahan?

Why do people care so much, we all knew we were going to have a clean out, we finished 16th ffs.

This is a player that every team passed up and then we gave him a shot at a rookie spot and he still couldn't earn himself a senior game.

This just the start so people better get used to it.

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.

Williams looks a beaut. So far.

Massive call if true...

The kid looked good in the half dozen casey games i saw

looked like he could be a very good half back flank

was looking forward to our half back line being- sheehan, mcdonald, watts

Is there a minimum turnover requirement for the rookie draft like there is for nab draft

love the way these articles always say 'He intends on continuing his AFL career elsewhere'

What AFL career exactly?

The one that's significantly more than yours.

So we have an article by Mr Clark as the only evidence and nothing out of the club. It cuold be right, especially with our over-the-top stockpile of tall timber, but I would have thought he'd shown more than enough to keep around.

But....it says so in the H-S so it just has to be true. They have never got anything wrong.

Case for; Given we just lost Rivers we don't have a real surplus of defenders and he's a nice size, very fit and a good kick. If he can add weight and learn to defend he's got a future.

Case against: Already have Frawley, McDonald, Watts, Sellar and maybe even Davis ahead of him as key defenders, how many do you need. Whilst he can run and kick there have been questions over his courage in the air and physicality defending.

I think he's got a lot more potential than Couch who I don't think is AFL grade.

I had a bit of a chat with Jai at the Demon's family day earlier this year while we were waiting in line for the Scenic Railway at Luna Park. Wasn't really sure who he was until he signed my daughters footy. I was struck by what a nice bloke he was. I had a bit of a Seinfeld moment with him though when I asked if he remembered the Big Dipper. He said he did. I went on to tell him how I rode the Big Dipper quite a few times in my day, what an awesome ride the Big Dipper was, and how nobody mentions the Big Dipper much now since the "accident". He looked at me kind of weird and the conversation kind of finished up. Didn't occur to me until much later he was probably too young to remember the ride but not too young to remember Robert Dipierdomenico.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
