    Good luck Aaron it has been an awful start to your career, I hope that you have some luck this pre-season and that you can at least show us some of your tricks in 2021.

    Time for him to re-evaluate all values.

    A speculative late selection who can't get on the park. I can't believe we are seriously contemplating giving him a year on the rookie list, particularly after taking Rivers to fill the same position last year. It's unfortunate for him, but some things just aren't meant to be.

    My source within the club speaks so highly of this kid. Apparently his application to his rehab has been elite for his age. Given this is the only thing we can base him on, I think he's deserved of another year. I believe the club make this happen, even if it's as a rookie.

    I don't know much about him but despite being a late pick (53), apparently Nietschke won the SANFL U/18 best and fairest last season after averaging 32 disposals per game for Central Districts. That's a pretty good return.  He also first did his knee mid Feb, so they did see 3 months of training pre-season before his first injury.

    If they do keep him, while list sizes are being reduced,  it'll be because they see something.

    On the comeback trail after two knee reconstructions. Hope he gets some luck and gets on the park. Handy half back option but we shouldn’t expect much from him in 2021. Should get a rookie spot as promised by the club.

    Agreed. I'd heard at the time of his recruitment (two seasons ago) that he had talents above most, mobility and courage. I'd wish him well with his recuperation, of course, but not discard him - he does deserve a chance to show what he's got for us - and several previous onlookers were most impressed with such talents.

    Gawn on the Podcast said Aaron is professional as they come and it will be a big moment when he does debut for Casey and for the MFC.

    A Feelgood story when Aaron  plays his first game   Must be highly regarded to be kept on the list after two knee reconstructions, let's hope the luck turns for the kid. 

    I be looking forward with interest when Aaron makes his debut.

    We don't have many elite standard trainers so we should keep him on or give him a chance. Will be a good player if he can get a break.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
