Is former Richmond and West Coast player Patrick Naish worth a shot?

Played 11 games for the Eagles this year.

Here is an article about him: https://www.zerohanger.com/former-tiger-and-eagle-patrick-naish-searching-for-career-lifeline-afl-trade-news-128684/

Might be worth putting on the rookie list and see how he goes playing in the VFL for the Casey Demons to see if he is up to having one final chance as an AFL player?

    Of the delisted players, the only ones that interest me at all are;

    1. Kyle Hartigan: Key position depth should Tomlinson leave. Would play Turner ahead of him, but break glass in case of emergency.

    2. Tom Phillips: Genuine wing which we lack. Would have the potential to force his way into our 22 should he regain his his 2019 form.

    3. Liam Stocker: Outside of Dunstan we have no inside mids coming through. Stocker is young enough we could give him the opportunity to develop at Casey.

    4. Jackson Callow: Key position player who has some talent. Good set of hands.

    There's another term for all these delisted NQR's that posters are speculating about.

    It begins with "L" and ends in "istclogger".

    Highly doubt we'll chase any delisted free agents this year.

    I wouldn't be averse to rookie listing Callow. Still only 20yo next year and looked good as an 18yo. Strong mark and lovely kick.

    I would have had a crack at Olly Henry instead of Grundy but it is what it is..

    He is homesick and wants to go to Geelong, to be with family.

    That 50 minute drive from the Lexus Centre to Geelong, must be gut wrenching for him.

    Yeah, what do we have, two primary list spots? Maybe Rookie List for a recycled tall but I think they will go young.

    So if we lose LJ, Hunt, Bedford and Weid, and Rosman and Mitch Brown as well, then the list is down to 36.  That’s 6 vacancies. (presumably Baker, Hibbo & Melksham are offered one year contracts). 
     

    Add Grundy and 3 draftees. That’s still two vacancies. Maybe we will bring in another player through trade or delisted free agent, and a rookie selection (or keep for a SSP pickup preseason).

    Hopefully Emile-Brenna goes undrafted then we can automatically add him to our rookie B list

    Completely forgot about him..

    Really hope we've got the list spot ready to go because all talks seems to lead that we may be able to get him outside the top 40.

    Rate him highly and adds exactly what we're lacking.

    Agree DD36. Excellent disposal and decision making. But FE-B definitely needs 2 years of preseason in the gym and lots of protein powder drinks.

    With our luck he will go just before 40.

    Yep, like the look of his poise and composure but 62kg at 181cm? Would need at least 2 years to build the body but could be a risk worth taking.

    Stack, RCD and Martin all worth considering.

    Stack has the talent but I’d be a hard no if Richmond can’t get him switched on

    RCD would be good midfield depth. Could take over from Dunstan in 2024 as our best VFL mid and would like to see him tagging at AFL level if given a chance. 

    Martyn’s not a bad little flanker at either end if we went elsewhere in the draft

    You’d look at Stack based off talent - but his off field stuff/attitude(?) would probably threaten any chance of his career getting revived by another team

  • Quote

    Sydney Stack certainly has talent. But I know he has had previous behavioural issues. I can't forget that HUGE bump he laid on Jack Viney a few years ago though! Personally, I think West Coast will pick him up as a replacement for Willie Rioli Junior. But that's just my opinion.

    Riley Collier-Dawkins is the interesting one. Especially as he was taken in the first round of the 2018 AFL National Draft. Is he still worth giving a 2nd chance to?

    Here is a bit of a "video game theme" highlights video from Riley's draft year:

    He might be worth giving a rookie draft pick selection for? However, I guess that's up to Jason Taylor and the MFC recruitment team to decide?

    Credit where credit is due, this highlights video of Sydney Stack is quite impressive.

     

    You cannot deny that he has a lot of talent and can play both in defence and in the forward line.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
