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.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
