2023 List and Contract Details


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

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

I heard the same (about the Veterans spot)

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
