Talented player. But he's not the gorilla keeper that i think we're really after.

No but hes the 3rd tall that we need to replace Garland.

who?!

 

Wears number 41. On the rookie list, played a game last year and has consistently been in Casey's best.

There was some talk going around That Michael Hibberd from the Dons has been in talks with us, close mates with Melksham and another supposed player that is really not happy with the supplements saga take it with a grain of salt? I know he isn't tall like we need but I would be open to the idea if he decides to come?

don't like how our names aren't linked to Cam Marchbank like other clubs are. 

Come on, mate. You know better than that. You think that means we haven't made contact?

I thought he was good before his toe injury last year.

His presence down back certainly helped Tom McDonald.

Where's this fallacy come from? Frost played forward last year.

His left peg would be handy off half back.

O'Mac and Frost could be good defenders however we need 2 good defenders and still need a CHF. Frost may end up as a forward who knows. White could fill a defence position at 188 cmm but we still need a monster. A backup ruckman come forward/defender  would be great. I think Dunn and Garland days are numbered as defenders.

Are you serious? We have the best young CHF in the game. Hulett or more likely Weideman will play FF. I reckon we could do with someone like Hurley, but we could do without him if our midfield and half forward line improves.

Adam on this occasion I disagree we need to develop or draft some big backs. Like North Melbourne. Irrespective of our mids and forwards.

Each to their own, Ernest. :) Just my opinion, but the way I see the game going will be more about structures, zones and role playing in the back half. This is already where the game is at, but it'll only increase with time.

Good point Adam but we need to have some big backs as part of this structure as well as the Wagners and Hunts etc. Perhaps I can mitigate my comment by saying at least one mobile key position player like uhmmmmm.......Hurley.  So we are in agreement after all.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
