I thought we had no rookie picks? They have to be delisted free agents? Mentha is the only rookie pick we can have with Farris-White departing.

Have a look at the contracts spread sheet on this website.  AMW is a category B so if he is upgraded there are 2 category B spots. ( the other for KFW delisting).   Hore is a category A rookie and they haven't yet given him a contract.  If they don't he is delisted and creates a category A vacancy.

I thought we already had 6 rookies but we only have 5 my mistake.

Yze may still get picked up. I wonder if Hore could be picked up as a DFA

B: Lever, May, McVee

HB: Rivers, McDonald, Salem

C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon

HF: Pickett, Petty, Chandler

F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney

IC: Howes, Sparrow, Sharp, Melksham (rookie a), Pick 5

 

Casey

B: Mentha (rookie b), Adams, Moniz-Wakefield (rookie b)

HB: Bowey, DFA, Woewodin

C: Billings, Laurie, Brown (rookie a)

HF: Spargo, Kentfield (rookie a), Sestan (rookie a)

F: McAdam, Jefferson, Fullerton

FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Pick 9

IC: Verrall (rookie a), Yze (rookie a), Parfitt (DFA)

 

I think they will have 3 or 4 players train on for the last spot on the list.

Sestan has resigned on the main list. 

[Ugottobekidding 1,194]

Thought he showed more than many on the Casey list.

From MFC mid September

MELBOURNE has locked in a quintet of young talent, with Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Kynan Brown, Will Verrall, Oliver Sestan and Luker Kentfield all signing new deals with the club.

The five players put pen to paper this week, extending their time in the red and blue until at least the end of 2025.

Yeah but far as I know they all signed as rookies. Dannyz saying Sestan is on the main list.

They've got a source at the club Rumplestiltskin, regularly posts tea that is later officially confirmed.

Id like to see Noah Rookie’d, he is a good size and has shown that he is a talented youngster, being an Yze I see it as repaying Adem in some small way for his great services to the Dees. We have more spots this year and can accommodate him and who knows he could be a ripper and it may help sway others in the years to come. I.e Dees respect the tradition of F/S’s.

That would absolutely be the very last reason that we'd pick him up

Would be an insult to Adem and Noah, IMO

Agree, Moonshadow.   Repaying for dad’s great service is absolutely NO reason to recruit anyone.  F/S must be on merit.  I seem to remember a ?Molloy in the 80s or early 90s who was a f/s and failed to deliver at all.

Is that re-signed not resigned?

[jayceebee31 761]

It seems we might not have the space to bring in Noah….a pity as he seems to have some assets.

[Demonstone 22,815]

We'd make space if we thought he was worth it.  I'm not sure he's good enough.

[Demonland 73,140]

It's a tough game ... no Noah Yze (at least in 2025),

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Disappointed that Noah didn't make the cut. I wonder if the club will consider throwing him a Casey lifeline.

That would have to work both ways as there could be other VFL clubs handier to his home. However, if he's really dedicated to playing for his father's club, he should go for it. It won't be the first time that someone has proved the judges wrong.

Some very good players have made it via the VFL pathway. Fritta springs to mind. Good luck to young Noah Yze if that's something he pursues.

[monoccular 17,573]

IF McAdam chose, before list finalisation, to retire would there be a pathway to pick up Noah, IF our recruiters felt he was up to scratch ??

[Supreme_Demon 3,899]

I would let Noah Yze play at the Casey Demons in the VFL. If he wishes to, of course.

No, because Noah is not that good to be on an AFL list.

Exactly... not all will emulate their dads.

Not a family social club

Fritta was a special case in that he had a back injury and took a few years off football. Not sure he even put himself into the draft at 18. He also starred in his year as a Casey player from game 1.

It's a hard ask to break into the AFL if you miss out on the 18 year old draft. Not impossible but very rare
