Carrying Brown, Baker and others on the list was a waste of list spots. And Munro, White, Dunstan and Grey playing most of the midfield minutes is someone’s decision.

Its hard work watching Melbourne young players stuck in peripheral roles. 

Take those players out of the team, and Casey probably don't win 20 games for the season and a premiership. Surely, team success is invaluable for player development?

They finally gave Weid a job of holding the number 1 ruck spot and he has developed more in 4 weeks than in the last 4 years.

Casey have just won a flag and you're  complaining 🤭

Lots of great young talented kids coming through.

Good for Casey, but for the sake of Melbourne we can’t carry so many experienced fringe players and VFL players chewing up important minutes.

Casey’s first priority is to develop afl players and that needs to be reinforced next year.

Remember when people complained because we didn’t have a winning culture?

Congratulations Casey, super effort on the 2022 VFL flag, keep building this culture within the club.

I hope we never see JVR in the VFL again, he’s pure class.

With Jackson now Gawn, Weideman could have a chance as a permanent second ruck.

I like this a lot because Weed would kick goals as a resting ruck in the forward line

I just can't see Weid at AFL level, if Grundy is recruited to the club no chance.

Take this [censored] somewhere else.

Had disagreements with you in the past

Flags are always very special at any level

And we would avoid the huge risk that Grundy is.

I'd rather use all the money to go all in for Harry McKay.

This is the 700k question

Pity he hasn't had long in the role.

Needs to assert himself around the ground

I think he did amazingly well. Hopefully goody just does this and saves us 400k a year for a decent forward. In 4 months he has effectively taken up full time rucking duties and has done amazingly well

The players really love Weideman. Maybe they’re just happy for him. 
 

So nice to see all the senior guys there. I reckon the ones missing are all going to the Brownlow tonight (Trac, Clarry, Gus and May). 
Gawn doesn’t have to do his hair so he can squeeze in both. 

May was there at the start I saw him drive into the car park.

Not to mention that Mitch Brown provides excellent protection and education for someone like JVR.

Is there anyone who thinks winning a premiership is a bad thing?

A few Southport supporters on Facebook going off that we stacked the team with AFL players and cheated haha

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
