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.

    Wow, 3 AFL great players on a school football coaching panel.

    Unbelievable.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
