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.

    Essendon?

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

     

    B: Buntine, Turner, D.Smith

    HB: Hunt, White, McVee

    C: Zaharakis, Dunstan, Howes

    HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Melksham

    F: Lonie, Weideman, M.Brown

    FOLL: Daw, Reid, Munro

    IC: Bedford, Laurie, Rosman, Woewodin

    EMERG: Moniz-Wakefield, Baker, Grey

    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

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
