    Slight sidetrack, but I just saw ad for 9 news tomorrow night (Monday) highlighting an interview with Sam Stynes on life post Jim. 6pm I think.

    kid's a Stynes. He wouldn't allow it that he was there as any charity . He'd want to make a statement. He'd have to understand who's shadow he'd be in. He'd also want to stamp the moment as his.

    Might be interesting. :)

    So... anyway...

    When does Lovett have to nominate us as his father/son option? And if he does, will it be our responsibility to draft him on draft night itself?

  • Quote

    Probably rookie the lad.

    Some fairly decent players have come that path.

    Any updates on young Jake? With the recuritment of Shaun's son I'd assume he's still in line to be drafted either with a late draft or rookie pick.

    i'd think rookie the only possibility

    There was a bit of buzz about him a year or so back. Did he not live up to expectations?

    He ran around for Casey didn't he... Did anyone see him play?

    I just read this thread (commencing 2013) from start to finish. Summary:

    - Promising junior - ball accumulator at that level

    - Had a strong 2014 - "certainty" to make it

    - Had a pretty poor 2015 and suffered some injuries, and was apparently told earlier in the year to improve his tank or the MFC wouldn't look at him

    - Form picked up late in the season.

    I have no idea what to make of any of it. Gut feel is that I doubt we'll take him.

    Running out of spots for him - we only have 4 spots on the list for 3, 7, 46, and 50. Harmes has yet to be signed either for the PL or the 3rd year RL from what I have read.

    Not sure the state of Michie's contract - I had him down as OOC next season but his player sponsor said it was this season. Hunt would find it difficult to survive the next delist window.

    Lovett is up against to get a spot purely because we don't have many...

    Maybe a rookie spot?

  • Quote

    I think the club would go for him if it could place him on the rookie list but otherwise, I don't see him as a top 50 contender which would rule him out for us in the national draft.

    Pity because his father was a late bloomer in that he spent a couple of seasons playing in the reserves at Hawthorn before crossing to Melbourne where he wasn't an overnight sensation.

    If he isn't picked up i wouldn't be surprise if Casey sign him up next year.

    I think we will have at least one more pick by next friday. Maybe more.

    Good decision by the club.

    Yep, agreed. I'm disappointed we've decided to pass on him but the club clearly feels he needs to make some inroads regarding his fitness and endurance. I'd much prefer him earn his spot on the list through hard work and merit rather than be awarded the position because he's a father-son prospect.

  • Quote

    well, if he was a rookie, odds are he would play all year at casey

    and now most likely he will join casy and play at casey all year anyway

    so, depending on how he handles it he may not be losing too much

    he'll get lots of support from mfc and his family and i hope he makes it

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
