Farewell Kye Turner

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?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
