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.

    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,
