I can understand why you defend him saty, it's his guns isn't it??

Not defending, just watched him play and train and discussed him with other players and coaches

    I'm sure Steve appreciates the reminder that what he posted was his opinion.  I'm not sure whose opinion he thought he was posting.

    Yes sorry,  of course he is right and some others aren't, what was I thinking

    Nasher wasn't making an assessment on the validity of Steve's opinion or otherwise, moreso the needless futility of you telling Steve that's "your opinion", something Steve was almost certainly aware of.

    but felt the need to let someone who was

    questioning his place on the list know that, seems like you were defending him. And most likely because of his guns

    Just an update on list management. 

    Lamumba gone.

    Hulett, Kennedy, Garland - likely to be delisted

    Trengove, Vandenburg - on the edge.  Kent to return to WA??

    suggest 5 go (Lamumba. Hulett. Kennedy. Garland. Vandenburg to rookie list to overcome injury). Mitch White delisted off rookie list so Vandenburg can be retained.

    Joel Smith elevated.  Plus 3 draftees. Plus one trade/free agent.

    Another mid with pace, a key defender and a ruckman as support.

    Even the guys who look likely to be delisted on the most part have played good footy at AFL Level. 

    I genuinely hope at least a few of them good another opportunity

    Clearly a big shake up is needed in the playing list. Delistings are crucial and there are many players I'd love to see the back of.

    I will rank in order the 10 biggest list cloggers

    Lumumba

    Garland

    Hullett

    White

    JKH

    Trengove

    Wagner

    Kent

    Vince

    Stretch

    He doesn't have the tools to make it as a wingman, is short, slow and has poor foot skills

    Well they aren't going to clear out 10 players in 1 hit and it will depend on contract status. Garland, JKH and Stretch all have contracts for next year and beyond. Agree that Lumumba, Hullett, Trengove and White will not get new contracts.

    Team selection for Casey over the next few weeks will tell us a lot

    So he is fits in well at our club

    H, Trengove, Hullett will be our three mandatory spots.  Kennedy not sure who he has [censored] off not to get an AFL game this year.  Vince hard call but he really struggled this year and his last kick on Saturday summed up his season.

    A bit hard to delist Lumumba when he's not even on the list anymore....

    I think he was still on the books hence the official delisting

    Stretch

    They are not our problem - only Vince has played regularly this year and he has said he is happy to play games at Casey next year if he stays.

    It may make people feel good to delist 10 players but it is only tweaking around the fringe and will not fix the bigger problem.

    The bigger problem is a game plan which does not currently match the players we have and a huge lack of player smarts and disposal skills.  If our coach is flexible he can fix the former, the latter takes more than one season.

    Keep Oliver, Viney, Jetta, Hibberd and Hogan. Jetta can be captain. The rest can take their overinflated pay packets and [censored] off

     

     

    On second thoughts that is harsh on Jones. Delist and rookie

    Whoever the tackling coach is. Either they dont know their craft or the players dont listen. We have been horrific all year.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
