No i have not said i want him but they discussed this on SEN about not having to throw Watts into the ruck and also giving Hogan up forward a chop out along with Gawn.

Pretty sure he is a free agent?

Could be a 'project' player that Goodwin works on. Good size, can take a mark and rucks better than Watts, Pedo or Dawes. Much of his inability to perform is between the ears, but is that a confidence issue or simply lack of brains?

I have some mad Richmond supporting mates that want him traded this year otherwise he'll be worth zilch next year.

Does he offer more than Dawes on the field and training track? Would he hinder the development of Weed and Hulett?

The speculative name that just wont go away. Oh, how I wish it would go away.

We already have Spencer, who is better in the ruck by a mile and not far off Vickery as a forward.

Seriously, Vickery only gets mentioned because of the Tiger's hype machine being stuck in a "sunk-costs fallacy".

Could be a handy 2 year signing if he cost us nothing.. I think we have 2 good young forwards at Casey, but they are not quite ready to play AFL yet. Our bigger bodies in Dawes and Pederson are certainly not performing. He could help to cushion the transition for Hullett and Weed and help Gawn to get forward more regularly.

Wouldn't bother with him. We need key defenders or quality midfielders. We already have some key forwards developing, and he's rubbish when he gets sent into the ruck. At 26 years old he's not worth it unless he is super cheap.

I hope that is just a throwaway line. One has kicked 154 goals at AFL level while the other has kicked 6.

He is capable of playing some good football and if he didn't cost too much (financially) I wouldn't be against it.

The first part, yes. The second I'm not so sure of LG. I think Jake is limited beyond ruck duties. Having said that I'd like to see him now get a number of senior games to look at how the two rucks combine.

Couple of years ago (when we were horrible) I went to a game against Richmond and a bloke in front of me kept giving it to Chris Dawes for being a spud. I reminded him he was no star like Tyrone. That shut him up.

They knew then what we don't need to find out.

He did have the first part correct

certainly far from our first choice fwd/2nd ruck but they dont grow on trees and tend to peak in mid-late 20's.

has averaged almost 2 goals per game over the past 3 years.  He is a  upgrade on Dawes and Pedo, that's for sure.

wouldn't rule him out if we dont have to give up much for him

How long until The Weed and Hughlett are ready? Another 12 months?

Cut the crap and go and get Majak Daw for two years. 

Watts plays permanently forward. Dawes to be delisted as seasons end. Daw to rotate with Gawn in the ruck 3rd fwd.

Vickery would be better than Daw

(Marginally though, they are both very orsinary)

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
