No.26 Jed Adams, 19, 196cm 6’5” 91kg had shoulder issues when he arrived at the Dee’s and has taken a bit of time to fit into Casey particularly with Tomlinson and Disco playing so well down back. Needs a big pre- season and time in the gym.!!

So projecting forward our changes look like...

Out: Grundy, Hibberd, Dunstan, Jordon - D. Smith (r)

In: McAdam

 

D. Turner to be elevated to the senior list.

Decision yet to be made on Melksham.

That currently leaves 2 senior spots and 2 rookie spots pending further player movement and assuming we keep the same balance of senior to rookie players (36 and 6).

The chart says May comes out of contract now (2023) when he’s actually contracted until 2025.

Joel Smith is one we should be looking to tie up soon beyond his 2024 contract expiry. Has shown considerable improvement this season and will certainly be targeted by rival clubs if available.

My expectations:

OUT: Dunstan (ret), Hibberd (ret), Jordon (FA), Grundy (trade), Harmes (trade), D. Smith (del), Melksham*(del) + one of either Brown (ret) or Tomlinson (trade) but not both.

ROOKIE Promotions: D. Turner & McVee (year early)

Re-Rookie: Melksham

IN: McAdam (trade)

That leaves 4 senior list positions & 2 rookie list positions. At least one of those spots you'd want to be a ruck that can also play forward or even back. Having another string to their bow is important to still allow Verrall and Farris-White to try and develop at Casey.

And if we're not going for Pick 4, I'd love it if we pulled off a trade for Naughton. Would give us huge flexibility with choosing who between he and Petty plays forward or back.

That sums it up well MAH would also love to see McVee upgraded with Disco in 24, Tomlinson has been advised that he is required and a poster on Facebook quoted Grundy, JJ and Harmes almost out the door, so a big year of change and refresh ahead for us all. Lucifers Hero is going to be very busy on this site.lol.!!

This includes known but as yet unactioned changes.  It also updates the list status and draft pick status.

I will add these updates to the top of this thread so folks don't need to search the text to find the latest...as @DeeZone has foreshadowed there will be quite a few !!

Thanks LH great effort as usual, it’s going to be a very interesting trade/ draft period as we may need to free up a couple more spots.!!

Latest changes:

  • Added ND39 from the JJ move to Sydney
  • Added Fullerton to the list
  • Show the list changes identified, yet to be completed (names in blue)

Melksham is staying.  Yet to decide if it as a senior listed or rookie listed player.  It probably won't be decided until time of the draft.  It won't affect the list size, just the mix.  My guess is he will be a rookie as we may need the senior list to cover all the departures.  If that guess is correct the chart would show 3 senior and 1 A rookie list spot,

That is a very tidy draft hand we hold!!

I'm pretty sure I heard there will be an additional 'veteran spot' coming back for this coming season. So we may be able to put Melksham in that category, without taking away from a senior or rookie list spot. It just sounds so ridiculous to make a 200+ game player a 'rookie'.

Thanks for that.  If you see the 'veteran spot' confirmed let me know and I will adjust the chart.

Yes, it is crazy to use 'Rookie' for Melksham.  It matters not to his remuneration or selection but I reckon he deserves better.

I don't have confirmation on these, but I think I heard in association with the new CBA that:

  • The extra Veterans list spot was not agreed
  • Mid season Rookies can stay on the Rookie list for an extra year so it may not be compulsory to elevate Disco

Thanks for info.

Technically we may not have to promote Disco but it would be shocking optics and quite unfair to not do so.  I would think that contract for promotion would already be signed.

Going by this article I think it's safe to assume he'll be on the senior list next year.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
