4 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

dow apparently toured sydney hq today

if i had a choice of there of the aints, i know which one i'd go to 

Sydney have a far deeper midfield than the Saints, so it is strange for a player who has not been able to get a regular game and is probably leaving for more opportunities. I could say the same for JJ.

Maybe the contract is fatter.

Part trade rumour/ part trade anxiety: I worry about Petty’s name coming up during the period.

Some murmurings of Adel throwing his name in the mix for McAdam trade (which we all scoffed at) but if you think about it, as a rare, flexible tall who is on the up, I’m pretty sure his market value would be much much higher than his current pay packet… 

Also you’d expect our plan is to groom him a forward to suit our needs… who’s to say that doesn’t suit him?

They can throw the name in all day long - wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t, he’s going NOWHERE!

I’m presuming the rumour you heard that had you grinning wasn’t in regards to a key forward then, Nudge? 

That’s the thing, I literally can’t say m, other than fact I was assured we had a clear strategy & that it was still on, I personally took it to mean we knew the player we wanted to draft & that he was exactly what we need or that we’d get another high pick but not #4 as I was told we were cooked on that front even before then!

With May getting into his 30s and Petty being pushed forward, I agree we need a new KPP back.

What about this bloke we currently have Jed Adams?

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/players/7416/jed-adams

Has been a bit of discussion on here regarding the development of Jefferson, but realitively little on Adams.  Normally KPP backs can step up and play seniors earlier than forwards, due to them being lead to the ball and only needing to be the spoiler, not the play maker / need for them to take big contested marks.

Do any of the Casey watchers have much of a read on Adams?  He looked great in his draft highlights videos, but all reports seem to have flatlined since then.

Agree R(B)G Adams, he represented us in the GF sprint final on Saturday, tall 196cm, lean and has some pace about him. Really hope he puts in the hard yards pre-season and gets a run in 2024.!!

Sydney have some talented midfielders but have struggled with contest & clearance since Kennedy went out of their centre square rotation. Parker can’t do it all by himself (and he’s getting on), Dow would make a lot of sense. He’s a fairly one dimensional midfielder, but just happens to be strong in the area Sydney’s midfield is lacking.

JJ has probably been told he’ll get a good crack at CBA’s as well.

Love to have Flynn, yeah want him the most,

What Dee Spencer said. He played his role and didn't really seek to do anything else. He was solid without imposing himself on the game. He has an unusual kicking style but has no problem hitting targets. I wouldn't say there is any application problem. He doesn't seem to make many mistakes. IMO He's just finding his feet off the back of no preseason and doesn't yet back himself to take the game on yet. We might see a more confident and assertive player next year.

Well hopefully we are a chance.

At least with us he would be 2nd in line, but would certainly get games.

At Giants he is 3rd in line and with WC I am unsure of their rucks without Nic Nat, but know they have Williams, who is more of a fill in. If he is a WA, then I would imagine WC would have appeal.

As long as Fogarty is part of the deal, no problem 

Bit old now. His best, playing for CCR, was some time ago now - though he was good in centrefield.

So, don't put him in coach, he's not ready to play.

Yeah he’s only just turned 16 

In order to be eligible for the NAB AFL Draft, players must have attained, or will attain the age of 18 years, on or before December 31, in the year of draft.

Kalani turned 16 on 5th May so he'll turn 18 in his draft year in 2 years (2025) and he'll go F/S and be a great addition to the Dees.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
