All but gone to the Bombers according to the little paper.

Like 700 other players every off season.

 

If he comes to us, it's a significant win for the club as he's a talented player with a point to prove who will provide excellent depth in our midfield and cost us nothing.

If he ends up at Essendon, he's a NQR with dodgy disposal and they're welcome to him.

We are so young, I can understand this. It means we might be able to squeak by in big games if one of the Holy Trinity in the middle goes down.

Luke needs to understand that he is fighting for a spot tho. And Tom and James are only going to be better next year.

I would think he understands that everyone he is trying to replace is a premiership player and he isn't. :cool:

True, but if I had a penny for every time ANB or Spargo were described as not amounting to premiership level players I would have hundreds of coins of an unusable currency.

Dunstan is good enough to play a role.

They talk about Dunstan at 1:15.

 

Interesting they use the word 'challenging'.... couldn't be Essendon? 😜

 

We owe our premiership to Alan Richardson inexplicably taking McCartin over Petracca, but I’m not sure giving him free reign over our recruiting is a good idea.

Dunstan would be clogging the list 


Good get if it happens. Very handy depth.

Someone make @goodwindees into a bronze statue please.

It’s not over the line Dazz. Bombers want AVB but AVB isn’t that keen on going there, so they’re now going harder for Dunstan.  I think Dees have their nose in front but Bombers offering a little more.

Even if he doesn't get through, you called it first yesterday before any media got wind of it. 

Keep posting the good stuff.

I've told you ten million times not to exaggerate.

Keep trying then, it’s clearly working well for you 

One of the interesting things about how we have built our list and our trading strategy is that they have worked hard to mirror the senior team at Casey.

Smart because players can train for specific roles and practice those roles in the VFL.

And all mfc players in the magoos can get used to the sytem, structures and tactics smoked in the ones.

Bowey was a big beneficiary of this model, as was sparrow.

Helps explain an interest in a player like Dunstan as he can at the vinwy defensive mid role at Casey. And if called up he is well drilled.

Same goes for resigning Mitch brown, who plays a tmac type role. May not end up getting a game, but if nor still plays a very valuable role.

You mean you have LITERALLY told him ten million times not to exaggerate.

AVB just went up a notch in my estimation

Unrestricted free agent. Adds some depth. Nothing exciting but a good value pick.

I hope he signs


Surely we can't have the luck of the injury free type of year we had, especially to the mids. I'd like Dunstan who wouldn't cost much and I know can play. Clearly tho were in a decent position list wise.

Add to depth. Richardson would have inside info. Inside mid. As posters have said it would be a fluke to have minimal injury miss games next year. We rely on inside grunt to take advantage of our ruck supremacy.

System based footy may see his best footy.

He may well end up a premiership player. Who knows.

Good move by Dees. Its not a pick and hope. We know he can play.

Such a great point, and it’s all been made even more important with the lack of footy for developing players over the last 2 years. We play a system at all levels, and the better it’s mimicked at Casey the better it is for everyone.

Agree, if we imagine a scenario where one maybe two of our mids/wings/forwards get injured he will be very handy pick up. He also won't cost us anything. Has excellent ball winning ability and Choco will sort out his kicking and decision making pretty quickly.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
