He is just a player, 2nd or 3rd key forward at best 

You must have very high standards

To paraphrase Joe Strummer “should I McStay or should I go”… I only hope he remembers to pack his McCluggage.

 

+1 to Mitch Lewis instead of McStay.

A back pocket could walk into our forward line this year 

Well....that worked out more than ok in the 64 grand final :-)  But times have moved on I confess.

I just don’t think he is any better than what we currently have. If I had to compare  Ben Brown at his best Vs McStay at his best, I’d take BB every day of the week and twice on Sunday

Would be great if we can grab him… will require a departure though.


I have heard the filth are the ones who he would go to if he goes.

3 way deal involving jacko/freo? 

McStay is a very handy footballer but he's not the 2nd coming of Tony Lockett....we already have a kid at Casey who will at minimum be the equal of him in the next couple of seasons.


I do like him, works great in that kind of forward line, undecided on whether he'd be a good fit for us. Seems like a Mihocek type which you'd hardly sneeze at but can they be the focal point? It would come down to what happens with our other forwards come season's end I guess. 

Upgrade from Mitch Brown no doubt though!

Don't want to freak anyone out, but McStay has about the same numbers as Sam Weideman except with a couple of extra link kicks up the ground.

He'd be an improvement, for sure, but only an incremental one and I don't think recruiting him would make a major difference for us.

That said, if Weideman decides to move on for a fresh start in a trade, and we then get McStay as a free agent, we would effectively be getting a little upgrade while also picking up Weideman's trade value. Ha! Use that to push ourselves up the draft order and we can pick up one of the very promising key forwards in the draft, and wha-bam we've got ourselves a short-term role filled and a long-term prospect in one go.

We have to get him. I have doubts whether TMac will ever come back and we can’t be held hostage to those circumstances. 

my opinion on him has definitely changed. We need to add him in. with doubts over MBrown's status this off-season, Weid's lack of progress and potential to request a move if he gets an offer of regular senior football elsewhere, Jacko's lure home and TMac's consistency and form issues in McStay you're getting a forward target who is at least on par with the rest of our options talent wise but in a much healthier age bracket and on between 500-600k a year its about 50-100k more than we're paying tomlinson and he's played more casey footy than dees footy since he came. 

Not many alternatives across the competition who are gettable. off the top of my head -one of the giants riccardi/HH/hogan, burgess at the suns who's leading the vfl goalkicking or ratugolea or reid/amartey/mclean at the swans or schache

Schache ?That would be the ultimate  victory of optimism over experience .The rest are ordinary with the exception of Jesse who is head and shoulders above the others .But alas I can only dream of his return.

Schache is less competitive than just about any KPF in the game. Gets out positioned by an empty chip packet blowing across the ground 

I like the look of Riccardi from GWS. Think he is ready to step up

Just read on AFL website that McStay has been courted by some clubs and may go Top 30.

He will be a very good CHB type.

Think  Hardeman.

Harry Himmelberg would take in a heartbeat...He is far from ordinary..... super talented player, forward and back.

I love these comments! Every time he is written off he comes back better than ever.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
