I'm hoping that McKenna can overcome the injuries and have a decent crack at Casey. Looks a very likely type to me from his NEAFL highlights. 

Give him a 1960’s Beatles haircut and put him in the goal square

    He does have some attractions, even though little has been seen of him for some time. He has a tough and long road - possibly full of potholes - ahead of him so it will be a challenge.

    Spargo and Fritsch if healthy should be in the selection debate from the start of the year.

    McKenna, DJ and Baker aren't as easy to predict. All should play well at Casey. Unfortunately McKenna isn't back in the main group yet which is a shame because he has a lovely kick on him and could offer some depth in a variety of spots and a bit of class at Casey would be nice. 

    Keilty and King are maturing talls who should play well at Casey and be handy as depth. Whether they play or the talls like Tom McDonald and Pedersen are shuffled around is hard to say at this stage.

    Flippers and Petty are development prospects.

    So if he does make it then he will be all the stronger.

    Thanks, one-eye. You would think that was the case, quite naturally. From adversity comes.....stoic resolve?

    That assessment is a decent reality check where the list is at, lost in space and way too many speculative picks that will keep the club ironed to mid table in the near future.

    Cheer up @bluey it's almost Christmas mate! All other clubs have at least 4 new draftees/rookies. The other 5 who are yet to debut, again most other clubs would be in the same or similar position. 

    Even if 2 or 3 of the 9 turn out to be regular senior players, which is likely given the ratio of draftees/rookies to senior players, that's a good result.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
