He’s a plan D insurance policy. Actually hope he doesn’t get a game because that would mean we have stacks of injuries. He’s behind 6-7 key defender types. More likely a chance if Lever and Tomlinson and Joel Smith and Dan Turner were injured. He’s not ready for AFL but has time and development so hope he gets in to benefit from a full year at Casey.

    He’s an Old Haileyburyian like a certain former No 1 draft pick who isn’t well thought of among many MFC fans. Perhaps, he can have a stellar career and atone for the other bloke’s sin of walking out after being lured by treasure from up north.

    But #10’s also an old Haileyburian ! (and there may be others lurking within the playing group as well).

    There's a 'few' lurking at other clubs including  Karl Amon, Josh Battle , Aidan Bonar, Andrew Brayshaw, Charlie Constable, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Jack Gunston, Hugo Hall-Kalan, Max and Ben King, Connor MacDonald, Hugo Ralph-Smith, Jack Scrimshaw, Liam Stocker, Cody Weightman, Marcus Windhager and Josh Worrell.*

    Austin Bradkte was on the rookie list briefly, Jack Bell once listed at St Kilda, played with Casey last season. Paul Hopgood, Stefan Martin, Laurie Queay, Tom Scully, Tom Lynch and Stewart Loewe are Old Haileybury-VFL/AFL alumni.

    Scott Pendlebury and Nathan Jones will join Matthew Lloyd on the coaching panel this year at Haileybury. So it's not unreasonable to expect more AFL class recruits from this school's footy program.

    Good to see not the same old Talent pathways are being used.  Last 3 year has thrown everything in a spin. Maybe we can value outside normal thinking. 

    Any game for the dees and this is a massive win.

    The first lists are due on the 31st of October so they had to make a decision on Kye Turner and AMW.

    Kye did not get much of a chance to show his talent at VFL level due to injury, spots on the list are very tight.

    A lovely, well-mannered young man. Sad to see him go. 😢

    Poor bugger. Reckon he is pretty stiff considering he missed significant part of the season due to injury.

    Footy can be brutal.

    3Some players simply wont make it but guys like McVee Bowey Rivers take that major step up almost immediately. McVee was one of our big success stories in '23.

    Buckle up for a big list clean out this time next year. Ruthless business.

    Yes surprised but not surprising.  Had interrupted year with injury.  Looked okay but I think he would need a preseason to really show his capabilities.  Tough world of AFL for lots of young blokes at this time of year.

    Unlucky, showed a bit of promise in the early VFL rounds then his body broke down.

    I thought he’d get another year given how hard it is to find athletic tall defenders but they might have other options in the draft pool.

    Stiff but understandable. Does this give AMW another year? 

    Has another year of eligible as a cat B rookie so I doubt this makes any difference. Expecting them to make a decision on him soon though

    Probably gone as a result of us holding 6 and 11 and being concerned about using them, if we haven't traded up.

    I would imagine Melk now will be delisted and rookied, giving us another draft selection.

    PS: Sorry, forgot to wish Kye well in the future.

    Thanks Kye Turner, looked a promising athletic young back up defender but has had a cruel run with injury. Good luck in the future young man.

    Can someone remind me why Moniz-Wakefield is category B? Is he from another sport? Born overseas? Something else?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
