ย 

Thanks guys.ย  Had a great holiday!

My predictions for what it's worth...

Luke Dunstanย -

Will be delisted. No chance he stays on the list if he couldn't get a game all year based on his Casey form.

ย 

Michael Hibberdย -

Unsure. Can see him retiring if he plays in a Premiership this year. Whether he gets a 1-year extension (if he wants it) all depends on his September form. I suspect he will probably get an offer if he wants one.

ย 

James Jordonย -

Will actively seek a trade, with the club's blessing.ย 

ย 

Jake Melkshamย -

Will almost certainly be offered a 1-year extension, which I suspect he'll accept, even if he's offered two years elsewhere (as it would be a dud club not in contention).

ย 

Andy Moniz-Wakefieldย -

Seemed to show positive signs at Casey. I'd be surprised he we didn't retain him.

ย 

Josh Schacheย -

Ordinarily, I would have said he'd be delisted, but we won't have anyone else as emergency back-up if Grundy leaves and Brown and McDonald retire - even if they don't retire, I can't see them offering much in 2024 onwards. I think the club will explore who else is out there to fill this void, if they can get someone they have more confidence in, he's gone; if not, he gets a 1-year extension.

ย 

Deakyn Smithย -

Given he's been around for 3 years without making his debut, and without setting the world on fire at Casey, I cannot see how he survives. I stand corrected if there's a reason for this.

ย 

Kye Turnerย -

Probably delisted, maybe rookie listed? Not really his fault, as he can't get on the park, but we need list spots.ย

Is there any significance of the players highlighted in 2024?

I notice on that list of OOC players,ย ,K.Farris-White is not listed..? anyone know when he is contracted until?

As a B rookie he should be.ย  Not sure where 'The Age' sourced its info or how accurate it is.

Even tho' I changed Schache to be OOC this year I'm not sure that is correct as there was info during the year that it was 2024.ย  2024 makes more sense as it is unlikely he would have come across for just one year but we will see soon.

Edited by Lucifers Hero

Melksham is playing so well but as a list management and development question he may still be denied a new contract due to the FD wanting to provide more opportunities.

Some of you think these things through in such an unfeeling manner; if Grundy and Tomlinson have suitors - we are going to get them to their homes - they are not โ€˜required playersโ€™ to the MC or the FD.

My guess is TMac goes around again and maybe Brown is done but canโ€™t be sure. We gave TMac another year to smooth out his contract so I doubt we will then pay it out too.

Dunstan, Hibberd, and JJ gone IMV. Schache stays as a cheap body if we see slim pickings for similar type.

Harmes, Tomlinson, Grundy and Spargo to be traded only if the capital they bring back can be used to acquire replacements or further talent. I think all 4 would get something back.

I would use this draft hand we have to reshape us a bit and bring in some talent similar to 2019 with Rivers, Pickett, and Jackson. But they will need opportunity.

at a rough guess...

dunstan - delisted
jordon - will sign as a free agent elsewhere (peptides need mids)
hibberd - retirement
melksham - 1 year extension
schache - honestly thought he was contracted for two years
d smith - delisted
k turner - delisted, re-rookied

and i expect ben brown might be forced into retirement, while you would think grundy, harmes, and tomlinson may seek trades to pastures anew, even though the latter two had little interest last year when they were clearly on the market as well

agreed except would be pointless to give melk 1 so i'd give him 2 and would let kturner go, melky delisted and rerookied due to squeeze on spots

Hi LH MFC just confirmed that Josh Schache has signed on for 2024, so that sorts the Schache conundrum out. Lol.!!!

Thanks again LH for your work on this

I'm interested in the age profiles. We seem to be short of good players in the 23 to 26 age range ie Viney Hunter etc replacements long term

Good observation as we do have a skewed age profile.ย  That and our long term contracts, there is a risk that in 4/5 years we are the Geelong equivalent of 'Dad's Army' in recent years.

But I am confident that JT, TL et al will keep refreshing out list as and when needed to ensure the age profile doesn't impact our performance

We had 9 players under 24 playing last weekend, and ask holding their spot pretty well (Laurie is really the only one of the 9 who is still finding his spot).

And then you can add Petty and potentially Spargo to our under 24 squad.ย 

So we've got a nucleus of a future squad, but do need to add a whole group more.

I can see the benefit of loading on up a super star at pick 1 to help carry that next group through, knowing that we'll be able to fill a few more holes in the 25-28 year old bracket with free agency as our older superstars contracts end.

Updated for the one year extension to Kyah Farris-White.

image.png.92b6cd1be02537320661fdecdcee5a72.png

ย 

I've also prepared the chart to track list and draft pick changes.ย  Regarding draft picks:

  • I have assumed Grundy and JJ are gone.ย  Other incoming picks could be if Harmes, Tomlison etc choose to go.
  • We need to take only 3 draftees:
    • Promote Turner using ND89.ย 
    • Draft Brown with a later pick.ย  I doubt he will go as high as ND34 so my guess is we will use a pick from a player trade or more likely the JJ AFL comp possibly a 3rd round.
    • One (or maybe two) elite players in the top 5 or top 10 by trading up whatever draft picks we need to to get the player(s)we want.

We have a draft hand which is as good as any of our golden draft years (2013 to 2015 and 2019).ย  A huge opportunity that will set us up for the rest of this decade.

What will be the key contracts to extend next year?

Bowey, Lever, Langdon and Sparrow. Must keep all of them I think.

Is there a chance Ben Brown retires this year? And what would that mean for our list and cap space?

Thanks LH that is a great effort not easy keeping up with all the machinations of the MFC, just curious re: AMW is he signed Cat B until 2024 as I think he is definitely a keeper.!!

Also very excited about our 2023 draft hand.!!

Love that Rivers and Kozzie are signed all the way till the end of 2027, where they will have each reached be the ripe old age ofย 26ย years old!ย 

Edited by FarNorthernD

You'd assume that Hunter and Langdon are sure things for an extension due to age and FA status.

So really it's just Bowey and Sparrow that I'm sweating on for next year.

And Petty and JVR for 2025.

Sure it'd be nice to keep Jordan and Laurie, but at this point neither are critical.

Pretty amazing really.

The downside is they will both be FA's when their contracts expire.ย  Lets hope they will still want to stay!!ย  If they want ot go the club is unlikely to play games and force trades etc...

We need to lock JVR and Petty, they'll become cornerstones of the next generation.

If we get Reid, however unlikely, Sparrow becomes less important.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
