JJ is a free agent and can walk anywhere at seasons end. It's already been reported that he's put contract talks off. If it were up to me I'd sign him up for 2 or 3 years and I'd be playing him ahead of the likes of Sparrow, Harmes and a few others. Not mu decision though, and if he's put contract talks on hold, will be hard for the club to do as well.

IF (want to make sure that's clear for you) JJ walks, the likely delisting of Dunstan and who knows what with Harmes. Then a mature age recruit like Fordham could be worth consideration. 

Or do you pay that little attention that you weren't aware JJ was a free agent or that Harmes isn't playing??🙄

Do you, or does anyone know what is going on with Harmes, he's been out for a couple of weeks for personal reasons?

I understand personal reasons means personal but is he still at the club or has he walked?

    No I've only heard rumours, so wouldn't post them on the forum.

    Fingers crossed he comes back soon as I really like Harmes. While he was ordinary against Brisbane, I thought he was quite good and really clean against the Dogs in Round 1. Also he's only about 5 games away from 150, so fingers crossed he gets there. Either way I'd think he'll have to earn a spot back through Casey given the depth we now have.

    My daughter tells me it is something to do with his partner relationship, so no one elses business at the moment I would suggest, the club know what's going on .

    Fordham at his age is NOT what we  would  look for. Think Hunter !! A proven A grade player not a VFL near retiree. 

    Harmesy I think has his own issues as he overrates himself too much. This year in the practice game/s he looked unhappy and argumentive with others.

    Of course he may have other problems in his life also we are not aware of. Hope he sorts them out with our support.

    I think JJ was unlucky to be dropped but our list is so competitive. I was thrilled with JJ vs Swans a much more attacking and fluent footballer who looked much improved.  It would be a shame after all these years if he doesn't make it. Goody does have history burning some blokes but gee we are gathering some potential players at Casey who are starting off red hot this year.

    Lawrie Howes D. Turner Dunstan Jefferson AMW Sestan are all looking as improvers in four games!!  JVR is proving that our handling is correct in his development.  These players show why we don't need the Fordhams of the VFL world. Some of these are going past Joel Smith as potential AFL prospects if he does not get fit and have a crack at it this year next year will be too late for him! 

    Happy  for the comments now??

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
