    Well done to both Pig Dog & Fitz!

    I suspect Fitz may find an AFL home next year.

    Also well done to Jack Hutchins. Had a very good year I thought.

    Agree re Fitzy. Said to Saty many times in past how I think he could have a reasonable career, but to have that, he would have to leave the Demons.

    I hope that prediction comes true

    Personally I was sorry to see Fitzy get delisted. He did an excellent job that day he held Boyd to one touch against the Bulldogs and he played some great games for Casey. Considering his problem with injuries in the first few years, I am unsure why we delisted him as soon as he managed a full season. There are not many 200cm project players around who can play both ends and I only have to look at Martin to be reminded what happens with some players when they move to another Club (as lowly as ourselves). Pig Dog also did not get much of a chance, especially for a player who missed much of the pre-season. Considering we have retained the contracted Terlich and Jones (neither of whom appear amongst Casey's best players), it is surprising that we were so quick to delist these two before the commencement of the trade period.

    Surely either they:

    1) could have value as trade bait,

    2) be rookied as we promote Vanders, Harmes and possibly White, or

    3) go on Casey's list whilst we continue to develop them and use them as the nucleus of a stronger "Reserves" team as we progressively improve our list depth under Roos, Goodwin and McCartney!

    I think we might have pulled the trigger on Fitzy prematurely. It's true that he was on the outer with the selection panel but surely he might have been useful in the trade period? Now, he can be taken as a DFA for nothing and it would not surprise if that happened.

    Shouldnt we look at this the other way. That our list is actually getting better.

    At the start of the season many posters were doing their best 22 and saying how much depth we have. Injuries to a few players and how quickly we got found out.

    We have very little depth to speak of with some players who got regular games not up to it but were picked due to lack of other options.

  • Quote

    If Roos took over as coach 3 weeks ago we would be entitled to think some of the delistings are reactionary but the fact we are entering our 3rd preseason under him we should all be backing his judgement along with the other coaches.

    It was a shock to see Fitzy on the Footy Show players review last night.

    Maybe as it's a shallow draft pool, he has been offered a rookie spot if he has no interest from other clubs. He certainly would be handy as he can play forward, back and in the ruck.

    Like with Nev Jetta, it might be the kick up Fitzy's arse that he needs to take his game to the next level.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
