Power clubs  - think Cats, Dorks and, quite a few years ago, Brisbane, had players in the 22 - 30 best range who would have walked into most other teams. They mostly managed to keep these players

He'd have played ahead of Rhys Palmer, Jacob Hopper and probably even Ryan Griffen in the Prelim last year against the Dogs. The Giants get Deledio, Stevie J (suspension) and a preseason in to so

What an odd post BC. None, I want all players to be looking to stat and want to play from the winning MFC. Much like Hawks (up until now), very few players I can think have "requested" (that we know of) a trade out. They all have wanted to stay.

 

So you think players who can't crack the side will be happy to play for Casey all their lives? I don't think so mate.

Remember you never have the entire best 22 on the park at the same time, so just because you're #23 you wouldn't ask for a trade.

If your team is travelling well and you're just on the periphery, you should be pushing to crack in. I guess the aim is to make that periphery as wide as possible, so lots of players believe they have what it takes to get into the side when the opportunity presents itself.

I understand that but players like JKH/ANB who is not even close to being the 23rd man wouldn't want to play for Casey all their career. Both could be a regular at other clubs like the suns, blues or lions.

Spencer, ANB and Trenners I think will all stuggle to find spots long term.

ANB I believe is the biggest chance to want out if he has another year like 2016. He cant quite get it right at AFL level and he is already down the list a bit. If I was a bottom 4 team looking for competitors id go after him. His VFL form justifies a chance. Despite limited oppertunities i dont think the club will let him go without a fight

Spencer will demand sneaky bit value from a team who desperatly needs a ruckman, esspecially if we play hard ball on a trade claiming him as our only backup. I want him for another 2/3 years because i rate him as a solid compeditive backup to the Beard but if I was him I'd take any offer if it meant i could play AFL.

Trenner's injury history that will scare any prospective buyers. But i also doubt he will play much if at all. If he survives the whole year at Casey and someone offers it to him he might jump ship for one last shot at it.

Note on JKH given he has been mentioned already:
I think he has a huge upside i really liked him when he was in. He is still young and had a horrid run last year if he gets a solid injury free start to the year i think he is a smokey to take a spot should we decide to play 3 small forwards. That and I'd like them to trial him on a wing at Casey. We need a skillfull wingman on the other side of Stretch. Could also be good to rotate with Kent and Garlett during a game having 3 small forwards taking turns buzzing around the middle of the ground as well as forward of the ball.

ANB

Kent

Salem

I'll bite, Salem if fit is starting 22. His skill is sorely missed when he isn't in the team. Give him a year or two of no illness or injury to build a tank and he could be great (without wanting to put the Sylvia curse on him)

The FD have a big opinion of JKH.

I thought perhaps you were a player manager testing the waters, albeit one with masochistic tendencies if you are looking at posting 'odd' questions on here

Think the attrition going forward will be through contracts not being renewed and delistings

Has had a miserable run with injury but Macca and others think there is something there, he showed something playing in the middle in last couple of games for Casey

So they have started again and rebuilt him from the ground up, particular attention to his core, reckons he has done thousands of those leg weight pushes, not sure of technical term

Once they get him on the field, they  want him to stay on, bit like Hunt

Ran his fastest time ever over 3k the other day and was fast lapping with ANB who is known for his running

Also on Monday they were doing those beep test short runs, Watts ANB and others were doing 4 3  and 4 4, JKH was doing 3 3 and 3 4 so assume a full second faster, Watts was impressed and encouraging him

He is still very upbeat just wants a crack at it

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
