That Best 22 looks Premiership quality 🏆❤️💙

Casey depth squad is a good balance between depth and development.   Guys like Hunt, Tomlinson, Dunstan, Weideman, Jordon and Melksham will be putting their best case to get in the team.  That drives the best in all.
I would also expect Laurie to get a debut in 2022 if he stays healthy.  Very smart skilled youngster.

    Yes, Tommy should stick with number 32, it’s his premiership winning jumper after all.  
    Cam Bruce went alright and of course there are some famous players from other teams in the number 32: Timmy Watson, Mark Riccuito, Buddha Hocking and Paddy Dangerfield.

    Don’t forget #32 in our previous premiership Barrie Vagg. 
    And why move a successful Tom Sparrow from 32 to 2 ?  I always remember that Liam Jurrah was only half the player at 24 than he was at 48.

    Have a sneaking suspicion a player like Tom Sparrow might inherit the #2 from Jonesy. Looks to be a long term midfield prospect.

    I think Tom Sparrow should keep jumper number #32. Make it his own I reckon!

    Anyway these will be the ten jumper numbers available next year for new five Demon recruits.

    #2

    #21

    #22

    #27

    #39

    #40

    #41

    #43

    #45

    #46

    My tips 

    #2 - keep it vacant for 2022

    #21 - Jacob Van Rooyen

    #22 - Taj Woewodin (some players want to make their own way. Others want to pay tribute to their fathers. I think Taj’s story is so much like his dad’s that 22 will suit. Still Woewodin)

    #27 - Luke Dunstan 

    #39 - Deakyn Smith changes number (Neville’s understudy) 

    #40 - 

    #41 - 

    #43 - Judd McVee (always liked Guy Rigoni

    #45 - Andy Moniz-Wakefield (tribute to Matty Whelan)

    #46

    From the Monday 6/12 training video it looks maybe like 22 Howes, 27 Dunstan and 41 Moniz-Wakefield

    On topic, I hope:

    Such confidence and intent, and belief in himself as being at least equal to the exceptional incumbents. And presumably several others share all that with respect to their selves.

    But, in the strong hope of another healthy year, and maintained (and even improved) form, where are the opportunities for these players to better an incumbent?

    I think Woewodin wants to create his on path no 22 will be in the shadows of his father. Father sons don't usually take the number of their old man. Stretch didn't Viney didn't.

    Has it happened anywhere? Neither of the junior Abletts had their father's #5, Jobe Watson was different from his father, as was Dustin Fletcher. If it has happened, I can't think of any. And that may be for good reason as it increases pressure on the son. So, I'd rather sons not take their father's number.

    The only consideration I see that might possibly be relevant with allocation of numbers (apart from not allocating a son his father's number) is who's locker they might be near. For example, it might be a good idea to give the #2 to someone who might benefit from being near May and/or Salem in the changing room.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
