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?

    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.

    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.

    This really sticks in my throat!

    Despite saying publicly we are not taking him, I wonder if we still might Rookie him.

    Ah, see your reasoning...

    The club said they wouldn't.

    I'd say that's his reasoning.

    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?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
