Garbage List management!

I"m surprised by it. Is only a report which means nothing " in the Hun so means even less" . Both will struggle to play regular games next year.

    agree, so seems little point in re-contracting them, especially Melksham

    Fair dinkum, how people could knock the Dees list management the year after winning a flag after a 57 year drought is beyond me.

    Hibbo and Melksham can offer a lot for our younger brigade and could play a lot of footy at Casey. I am thinking that JVR, Howes, Chandler, Bedford, Bowey, Woewodin and whoever we bring in via trade and draft will have a big say in wether they get the chance to play many games. We really need to blood all of the above.!!

    Being reported today that both Melksham and Hibberd will get another year. 

    If so, it reflects the ongoing ultraconservatism in our selection regimen.

    Always feels like we never have players nominating Melbourne as their preferred club for trades.

    Last one I think was BBB in 2019.

    Reminds me of the Life Of Brian skit about the Romans:

    Recently, no players ever nominate Melbourne as their preferred destination, because why would they!

    What about Langers?

    Ok, i'll give you Langers - except for that metrosexual, no player nominated Melbourne as their preferred destination  !

    Dunstan?

    What? Who? Ok, except for Dunstan and the metrosexual, no player nominated Melbourne!

    Lever?

    Ok, ok. Except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , and Lever - NO player nominated Melbourne!

    May?

    Jesus!. Except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , Lever and May - NO player  nominated Melbourne!

    Brown?

    What? Who? Which one? Ok, except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , Lever, May and Brown x 2 - NO player  nominated Melbourne!

    Tomo?

    While last years trade period was very boring this one is shaping up to be very different. I think we will have to wait until the last day or two before Jackson deal gets done, as I think there will be a massive amount of pick swaps this year that will need to get done before the Jackson deal gets done. 
    Think both pick 1&2 will be traded and although we are a chance to pick up one of them it’s far more likely that we will pick up one or more of the picks they are traded for. If that is the case we could be waiting on the likes of the Rankine deal to be completed before pick swaps take place ahead of the Jackson deal. 
    I’m hoping that if the Jackson deal is stalling it might help us get get Grundy for less than a first round pick as the pies will need picks to get their deals done. Perhaps picks 32&41 get it done. Or if we trade Bedford whatever pick we get for him might come into the mix.

    Sorry I should clarify my comment to say that it feels like no one wants to nominate for us this trade season. Still well a truely early into trade season so all being well we’ll get a few.

    I was only joking, but I agree it would be great for a really good player to come our and say I want to go to the dees.

    I wonder when really good players nominate a club it is code for, the club offering them a boat load of money (even though technically they can't do so whilst still contracted to another club). 

    For average players, it is code for, I'm not good enough to get a regular senior game at my club becauseim not tbat good.

    Probably because we don't have a lot of money to throw around and because it is very difficult to get a game let alone be part of the regular 22.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
