MFC Top Up Players for 2022.

With news that David Zaharakis will most likely be one of our top up players for 2022 I wonder who else we'll nominate before next Mondays deadline.

I'll take a little stab and say these 3 are most likely our certainties.

David Zaharakis 

Matt Buntine (Was training today in the ANB vision)

James Munro

    What about Nathan Jones?

    I reckon he wouldn't mind playing a few extra games.

    I understand he has retired....but...never say never!

    Just a quick little heads up, keep an eye out for the name Roan Steele who has recently signed with Casey from Frankston YCW.

    Has been training with Melbourne.

    I don't know too much about except that he has genuine X factor and can run all day. 

    With a bit of exposure to semi professional level he could hopefully follow in the footsteps od Bayley Fritsch. 

    Jack Lonie and former Giant Sam Reid have been added to Casey's list.

    I think we need a back-up ruck or two.

    I assume the rest of the back-up players will come from Casey, if there are no more outsider additions?

    I think that is a safe assumption. I think that is really good for the alliance. The Casey boys probably aren’t happy about the 3 or 4 ring ins but when that covi-tunity strikes White or a couple others will get a game in the big show.

    I like Jack Lonie as a top up player. A known goal kicker who was almost picked up by another side (can’t recall which one) in the off season.

    With the additions of Lonie, Zaharakis and Ried we will have a really strong team.

    HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Melksham

    FOLL: Daw, Reid, Munro

    Apart from those routinely playing for Casey like Buntine and maybe Conca the guys playing local footy will probably need time at Casey to get acquainted with the game plan and get their fitness up.

    So it’s certainly smart to list a number of former AFL players but I’d hope the first line of reinforcements comes from actual Casey players. This could be a chance to convince good local talent who have been reluctant to join the VFL to give Casey a chance as well. 

    If we’re down to 28 fit players which is when these guys become eligible either us or us and the entire AFL will be pretty screwed anyway.

    So how does it work from a list perspective? Do they now train with us full time and play at Casey every week? Or train and play at Casey until called up for top ups?

    they go about their normal life as is and if it gets dire then they'll link up

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
