I got banished to the big bit bucket in cyber land for being a very naughty boy, by my fav mod (make that ex)

seems we need to run some Satire101 courses here on land - lol

I might change my nick to "Dreyfus"

You and Range Rover weren't in the same bucket were you? If so, what impact has it had on your rehabilitation? Are you a better man for it?

A bucket is a small place. Did you and RR share any , shall we say "imtimate moments" ? Be assured any reply will be treated with the utmost discretion.

not really, he spent his time surfing ski shops, but a cyber bit bucket is actually quite large and apparently expanding faster than the universe

It's an interesting situation, should invite him down to Casey for a season to get a proper evaluation.

Yeah right, let's get him down there with Hogan, Barry, Kent and Stark and have him teach them his party tricks. It's pretty simple - DO NOT TOUCH.

I put him in the same boat as Manson. Has all the talent, give him a few years in the state leagues to see if he has the desire.

James or Charles?

I don't know why we are discussing this topic so many pages into the thread. We are talking about changing the culture of the club and people are entertaining the idea of a player who was already under intense scrutiny and who went out on the tiles till 4am a couple of days before the PSD and rookie draft.

That suggests he doesn't even fulfill the most minimal levels of discipline for a junior team let alone the AFL.

We need to stay away.

Don't worry 'Freddy', I can't see us going anywhere near him and I hope Casey are not stupid enough too.

and Freddy that is all they could report about. If you speak with a lot of people involved in footy and the press over here in WA they say if half of the rumours are true it is no surprise everybody has stayed away from him.

I still wish to remain employed so will leave it at that

why waste your time

He does not have the brain for it.

The same reason Geelong took a punt on Ablett Snr after his Hawthorn days.

And getting him to play for Casey isn't even taking a punt. Either he consistently gives it a good hard honest crack or he doesn't, whichever way it goes the MFC loses nothing out of it.

Have a look at 'Pennant's' post above and you will understand why there is plenty to lose in bringing him into our club, particularly at Casey which is a development club for our list.

It wouldn't be a punt it would be pure lunacy.

I was against Fevola going to Casey for similar reasons to you with Dayle, but after it was all said and done he had no impact on the culture whatsoever.

That's not to say I'm pro-Fevola but it does mean Casey and our young players are strong enough to withstand a potential wildcard.

If Fevola couldn't do damage, what makes you think an 18 year old can?

I agree Freddie, there are times & places to take risks, & whilst we are trying to rebuild our culture into an elite one, we can't afford individual distractions like this one.

2 yrs ago, I may have agreed. But now we have found the culture worse than expected, & have pruned it back so hard to the bare frame, let the new wood grow strong & healthy first, before we take a punt on a flaky type of player.

Lets develop a new & strong leadership group who will pull astray types Up, & into line first before we adopt problem kids.

If I was going to adopt a troubled player into the group, at great risk, I would want to take the one who had already proven himself to be a champion, & a key position player as well, ahead of a failed, but not fully tried out skinny mid.

I think I'd pass on garlett.

#Edit: Fev is underneath all the crap, a decent family guy. He just lost control for a while.

There's just no upside there at the moment so why even tempt fate, we don't get a lock on him at next years draft if he comes good so what's the point.

Fev, well we could argue that one but basically I don't think he was any good for us and the development of younger players.

What makes you so sure of that?

A lot of the young developing players he was at Casey with, have now been moved on.

His guidance didn't exactly help Lucas Cook become a star KPF.

It's quite possible his presence was detrimental, but we'll never know for sure.

That you even suggest taking a punt on Garlett shows a certain level of naivety on your behalf.

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    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.

    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

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
