When your getting dropped to the  development league in your 3rd year of AFL footy you know your in serious  trouble.

There are no comparisons to Gawn or Spencer. They were both playing senior  AFL level at 19 years old. King is nearly 21 and has struggled this year.

You can just about put a line through him.

You do know that he has had a broken/chipped bone in the wrist and is tryng desperately to get back into the Seniors to play finals despite being on limited time in the Dev. team. None of this may have any bearing if he is rerookied next year but he wasn't dropped as you stated.

He was dropped.

He had 3 disposals against Richmond in the VFL senior then had the bye and played development league after that.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that he had a knee injury.

Correct. Ben Newton was one of last week's mystery injuries of the week with a knee complaint. According to the medical report, he's out for a week.

Sam Weideman and Liam Hulett are this week's joint mystery injuries of the week.

How can the Weed be a mystery injury, when it has been widely reported he has a corky?

Agree.

He has definite talent and I hope we persist.

Biggest problem I can see is that he hasn't been able to develop his endurance. Whenever I've seen him at training he seems to be trailing behind and in games he hasn't been able to hold his intensity levels up. He's been in the system a few years now, no doubt about the raw talent but can he develop athletically?

When the club's own website has an article on the team's injured players and produces an injury list without mention of the "widely reported" corky, then it's a mystery.

Melbourne injury list: round 21

Jesse Hogan (knee) - available
Mitch King (knee) - season
Heritier Lumumba (concussion) - indefinite
Ben Newton (knee) - 1 week
Jake Spencer (knee) - test

Weed hobbled off at one stage against the Hawks. No smoke and mirrors here.

All the more reason for him to be included in the injury list but he wasn't.

If you wanted to re rookie him and throw other clubs off the track, what better way than to drop him to the Dev League and show you didn't have a lot of faith in his ability to succeed.  Just a thought.

Dazzle, I think we are arguing over semantics. He injured his wrist against Richmond and was given very limited time in the Dev. league because of his injury. None of this matters as like you unfortunately I too believe that Max maybe looking elsewhere in 2017. If however the Club do decide to keep him on, they obviously see something in him and I would trust them as they are far more experienced than you and I.

Notwithstanding all that, I believe that Max was on notice before he was dropped to the DL. For two or three weeks before that happened, he was also named in both the Casey Senior and DL teams so that he was very much on the border line. Apart from last week when he kicked three goals, he has done very little down there and was overlooked in favour of Oscar McInerney for the seniors in the absence of Jake Spencer.

He's not Gawn but he's got very little time to prove he's not gorn.

Casey Scorpions @CaseyScorpions now

Kingy! He's had a day out. His fourth goal and he pushes the lead past 100 points.

 

Well right on cue, maybe only DL but quite a performance.

    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.

    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.

    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.
