This bloke is the most intriguing prospect on our list IMO. Decent chance he never plays a game, but could be absolutely anything.

    Hopefully he can learn to play football.... seems crazy to say that about a player on an AFL list.

    Now one swallow does make a summer but the games I saw him play last season suggested to me he has a very long way to go before he is a good VFL player let alone higher. IMO the kid needs another 2-3 years at Casey. Patience will be needed.

    I have the same opinion as you. He looked way off and that was always meant to happen. I dont expect him to debut at all as he is still incredibly raw and light.

    Still only 19, says himself, aim is for a year at Casey , Stafford has the opportunity to build a ruckman from the ground up, a very popular guy amongst the other guys, for his enthusiasm and attitude

    To be fair that's pretty much the intended purpose of the Cat B rookie list. No doubt he's extremely raw and a very long way off, but has at least played some junior footy, and the potential upside is massive. Coming from a similar background, he can look to Stef Martin for inspiration (hopefully he sticks around if/ when he comes good though).

    Beef him up and then he can come back for pre season having slimmed down by 7 kegs and be right

    His father was a BIG man. Give him time, he will muscle up.

    • 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?
