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!

    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: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
