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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him 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.
