I don't think other clubs would try to screw us over at the risk of ending up with a player that they don't want.

Isn't Sheedy back at EssUndone?

yes but Jack Viney wasn't born like you and I, he burst out of his mothers womb/stomach and ran straight onto the MCG.

I asked a journo, who'd know, about this kid. "Will he make it?" "Dead certainty. Quick off 20, lovely left foot." That'll do me

Just proves how hard it is to get drafted to the AFL, even if you are a father and son prospect if you're not good enough you won't make the cut.

.....any more !

The club will treat him like he is one of our own, he can development without the worry of being delisted from the rookie list, might take two season at Casey before he makes it to the rookie list or main list, players like mat stoke where over looked in three drafts

No guarantees Jake will line up at Casey. His first priority will be his horticultural course he is now looking forward to starting.

Interesting. Maybe, despite being from a footy family and in draft calculations for a long time, he doesn't Lovett as much as he loves horticulture.

Or maybe he's no good at footy and wants to follow in his father's footsteps of raising spuds.

Very good! Jake will be playing footy in 2016, just not necessarily at Casey.

Jake has settled on Casey Scorps for 2015.

However, he and his parents were given a tour of the Holden Center recently and the filth have shown some interest in taking him as a rookie.

I suspect that he will receive considered parental guidance ensuring that he disassociates himself from the filth (however on the other hand I would have no objection if we looked at Weideman)!

I wish him the best the regardless of who he plays for. Personally, If I were him, I would put in the hard yards down at Casey. But I won't begrudge the young kid if he grabs the opportunity elsewhere. Either way he'll have to put in a lot of hard yards. The satisfaction of making our list would be greater though IMO.

The club said they wouldn't.

I'd say that's his reasoning.

Exactly.. But apparently that's still not enough..

Has an AFL Club ever said something and done the complete opposite?

Example, "we support the coach 100% and he will see out his contract", then sacked the next day, if not that afternoon.

Far out.. Todd Viney has already mentioned how hard it was for him to go to the Lovett household and break the news that they will NOT select him in this draft period.

Obviously not good enough to be in our sights. If not picked up in the rookie draft then he'll play at Casey in 2016.

Has a club ever come out and said that they will NOT select a father/son candidate, even through the Rookie Draft and then selected said player anyway?

Agree. I heard him say it on thursday night. I just said I "wonder" if it could happen, in other words, was it a ruse.

FWIW, I was at an MFC AGM many years back when Billy Snedden the President was asked from the floor, " would we be clearing Phil Carman"? He answered absolutely not. He will play with us next year.

The Headline on the back page of the Sun the next morning, revealed that Carman had been cleared the day before by the Dees.

Yes I know, Billy was a Politician.

Wasn't it Wayne Read who made that statement about Fabulous Phil?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
