Interesting watching the Casey today. Who plays well, who struggles, who is AFL standard, who is not etc...

You would think Turner, JVR , Bedford and Chandler look AFL standard and ready to go. Also interesting to keep my eye on Woewodin who looked very composed at times but probably a year away from being ready. Weideman, too, looks too good at times, but again, even when it was dry, he dropped marks that hit his hands clean. Disappointing. But his ruck work was really good against 

White, Chandler, Dunstan, Melksham and Munro were outstanding today.

Extraordinary bro love and hugs for Weideman. 

Do the players think he is leaving?

Would love to be able to use him in the seniors in a new role.

Maybe, although maybe they just appreciate his match winning effort against Crossley in the wet.

Shame jay Lockhart was playing for the sharks. Thought he was good enough to be on an AFL list.

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.

This team is full of AFL listed young players. The only player who wasn’t there today was Rosman and he’s concussed. 
I just don’t understand what you mean by carrying so many experienced fringe players. That’s not a Casey decision that’s a Melbourne decision. Of course Casey will play M Brown and Melksham if they’re available.

Never said it was Casey’s decision. 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. 

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.

I'm sure they will but I wouldn't want to be the sad kid that walks off the podium without one...

They really deserved the flag this year. This team has been a joy to watch.

They never give up and really work well together.

We've got some good ones in there.

A good coach too by the looks.

I think Corey Ellison might get a gig at AFL next year.  Very solid defender who also went very well up forward when needed during the season.

Last year's draftees and Laurie (who was injured most of his first year) look like they have put on quite a bit of bulk this year.

I would be very surprised if most of them don't get a go next year.

We just have to trade out a few of the incumbants.

Brown and Dunstan are direct replacements for our afl players.  younger players arn't going to come into the AFL side and if they do they arn't going to play in the midfield.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
