There is a nice highlights reel - Declan Keilty

I thought Hamish Brayshaw was on the list? Surprised that he wasn't picked up?

    Its great isnt it. Plapp must be stoked as both likely ro be with casey most of the year so they dont lose the talent or the synergy and history they have with their Casey team mates. But will have the advantage of afl level training, develipment and training. 

    A win for both young men and both clubs. A very smart move.

    The other positive is that the MFC players who played multiple game for Casey and Smith and Keilty will know each other pretty well, which has to hep in terms of them settling in and the general vibe around the club

    How can he possibly be fielding calls while doing a 10km run?

    That's what he was doing right?

    Is he big enough to play on Gorilla forwards? We still lack a defender who can take on these.

    Nothing against our draftees but it beggars belief if we didn't draft a key back. Tmac who struggles on gorilla forwards goes down our next option is Omac....

    If it's any consolation he was rated Number 1 this year in the VFL for one-on-one wins, mostly against key forwards.

    Listed as 194cm but has a good leap on him and an athletic powerful frame that should fill out. Oscar will be stronger next year and Frost is being trained up as a defender now. So that's 3 options other than Tom to take on the big boys.

    Cloke got him once or twice in that absolute wet bog of a game at Casey but he was more beaten for smarts by an experienced player than for sheer strength.

    1 last thing I'd like to note, is his listed weight shows 88kgs, where the last time he weighed in he was up to 96kgs, pure muscle. A good pre-season in him and he will have a very competitive amount of strength.

    Haven't seen much of Dec, other than what's on the highlights tape on the MFC website.  The kid looks like a genuine swingman, which will be awesome.

    Have a feeling that he will fast become Uncle Bitter's favourite, given how much he likes his swingers...

    Dec has been given jumper number 45

    I hope Declan has a successful career.

    Please don't take to heart any of the remarks that will come if Declan drops a mark or misses a goal, some people can be feral.

    Spoke to Macca about him, showed enough improvement in the 6 week mini pre season last year and consistency at Casey to be given the chance, think only scratched surface they want to see what full time environment can achieve

    Big lump of a bloke, managed to rip his training jumper to shreds in tackling drill

    I saw him train early in that block at thought his endurance was poor and skills were ordinary. I actually thought Moncrieff was the far better prospect of the 2.

    So I was very surprised with his Casey form this year. I get the feeling big raw country lads would be Macca's specialty.

    Macca's speciality is getting the best out of everybody, reckon he is the best signing, apart from senior coach,  the club has made in the last few years, you can see the respect from both the coaches and players, also calls a spade a spade, ask a question you get an answer

    Attended a a small function with Macca as guest speaker a few weeks ago and thought it was just about the best one I have been to, in terms of learning something new about the club.

    Macca was honest and informative and you couldn't help but feel that the club is now in great hands, from the CEO down.

    You got the feeling we would leave no stone unturned, in our quest for success.

    Also the Pizza was great. Must find out where it came from.

    I thought you had been banned from partaking in pizzas Red. Something to do with the number of kgs displayed on your scales.?

    I also attended that evening and can confirm that McCartney was a very special presenter who is really positive about the direction of the club and particularly about our younger brigade. 

    Declan's in good hands.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
