Question: Would there be a benefit in paying out M. Jones and Terlich's contracts at this late stage and promoting King and White? We could offer to recruit them both into Casey (where realistically is where they will both spend all their time next year, whereas White may be a chance in getting a run and is better depth). If we did this it may allow us to look at anybody of interest in the PSD or selecting three rookies. At the very least, it would significantly strengthen Casey and provide MFC more depth (c.f. retaining M.Jones and Terlich when we have different needs to when they were drafted)!

Yes and no. Yes, we would benefit by paying them out and No, Viney said on thursday it won't happen.

Greg Clark would be worth the punt as a rookie, good size uses it well and shows some leadership, my question mark on him was hunger because from a young age he has been a standout. He wasn't expecting to be picked up as interest had dimmed so that hunger may be ignited, worth a punt IMO

also was very impressed by Snelling in his game for SA against WA earlier in the season, he was their standout mid on the day, he is not big but like the way he goes about it and has some hardness for a smaller player

Jordan Snadden is another who has talent but in games I saw him play lacked urgency, as with Clark will the rejection make these gifted youngsters realise it's time to knuckle down to realise their dreams

Hope someone picks up a young Canberran by the name of Tom Faul - good kid had a couple of injuries last year - did a syndesmosis (high ankle sprain) then a PCL just prior to draft combine last year and played as an over ager for NSW this year along with GWS NEAFL duties. Will play half back as project player, he is still relatively new to Aussie rules, has an awesome leap (comes from a volleyball background - was aiming for the combine vertical leap record before his injury last year).

I'd be happy with Snadden, boy can run. Thoughts on Hinchliffe, PSD?

Gach Nyuon is very much a project. Given our lack of ruck depth, he could be worth a flyer to sit on the rookie list for a few years. King is still a project, why not work on another one and have options if King doesn't pan out.

Really like Hinchcliffe, loves the competative stuff, not as polished as others but hard at it, WA'S best in this years under 18's and showed those more talented what hard work does for you. Only really got serious about footy this year as he was focussed on cricket previously. Would be a good pick up

We need an X factor player.,.. the kind of player who can electrify and tear a game apart and do the unbelievable. Every Premiership team has one, maybe two.

Petracca may be that player... but I'd love us to unearth another Jurrah or Woneamirri type.

Ross Tungatulam is the guy your after.

I feel a need for speed

Theres no doubt we lack that burst factor. I hope they are emphasizing it at training.

Perhaps play a game of catch Jeffrey.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
