After today's game I'm sure of one thing - we need more quality experienced players!!

I think we could definitely do with at least 2 mids with 1 of those being a real "A" class or elite player.

I also think we could do with a quality defender. With Rivers leaving chip has been exposed and its really up to him and col garland to run the show which is proving too much. Gillies is good enough and more of a stop gap...

So the question to ask is who is available?

And out of those who should we go after?

    I sadly think it is going to be extremely hard to lure anyone of worth to us.
    Money talks but it's not everything, happiness and job enjoyment is huge.
    Losing every week and being a laughing stock and ridiculed by everyone isn't alluring.
    Remember Caddy and Wellingham? 2 players we targeted who wouldn't even consider us even though we had a "war chest" to use.
    It's a sad state we are in, and one in which will be very hard to break.

    I don't rate dale Thomas as an elite player, pendelbury, swan and as an up and comer Dane beams from the pies...

    We need someone who can find there own ball and use it to hurt the opposition.

    I once thought Gaff but he has dropped off this year.

    We need to be the team who gets the next Goddard through FA, there must be a few becoming available can anyone confirm who target?

    Mids & at least 1 gun backline player

    We're dreaming at the moment if we think anyone will come to the club, we played our big card to get Clark a couple of years back. We will have to do it from within and maybe pick up a bargain trade somewhere along the track.

    Of this years lot at least Bynes has started to show a little bit, the 2 mature agers have been ok, Pederson, Rodan and Gillies have been a waste. Dawes yet to play, who knows. The kids, Viney and Hogan will be the ones to build a future on Jimmy T hopefully will live up to his potential and I like Kent, has the attitude and game to be more than a very good player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.
