I know we’re a limited side at present, but I’ve seen nothing in this kid to warrant a call up. I see glimpses of what he could be. But he isn’t an AFL level player at present, IMO. 

I'll back the Coaches etc. in this one KDA. Might be time for you to have a rest on selection etc. for a while the Club has it covered.

For all the doubters about our 2022 Woe's debut is the third from our VFL flag plus Chin's 15 games. He had a reasonable wait after his first 3 or 4 AFL games. 

For those who have chronically undervalued our Casey Dees Flag in 2022 and the team efforts it's great credit to all the Coaches and the boys for all their training and playing and extra WA pre season work.

Rooy back this week to replace Fritta would be great.

Would be great to have JVR back in the team. 

Means the 3 WA draftees from the 2021 draftees would be all playing at the same time.

Jason Taylor just keeps ticking them over 👏

Yep 31 possessions and 3 goals last round is clear evidence of this. Deserves a call up and to test his readiness at AFL level.

Great news and well deserved. I feel like he is one of those players who, while they might not become a champion, will just find a way to become a really good player at whatever level they are asked to play at.

Doubly so, because apparently he was a very good chance to be selected in round one before he broke his thumb.

That's three of the WA boys, JVR Mcvee and woey jnr, who all did some serious running work over their XMAS break back on Perth and have made the seniors.

Great reward for hard work.

The year woey snr won the Brownlow he was brilliant. In some ways he was ahead of his time- his run and carry and efficient ball use would fit perfectly into the best sides now.

All good points Rubbish Binny.

Woey Sr. was spotted during grand final week in '21, outside the ground peering through the fence, watching us train. He's a Dee through and through. My contact @Anti Saint had a chat to him and said he's still supremely fit.

So with our observations as background . . .

Can we start Woey Jr. in the centre and bring Woey Sr. on as the sub in the last to run the [censored] around the Aints?

Actually, woey's incredible fitness and running power was also ahead of its time.

Anyone doubting this can refer to the 2021 GF post game footage in our rooms where Woey Sr is strutting around in his 2000 grand final guernsey, worn over a shirt no less! I can't fit into last year's attire, let alone what I wore 21 years ago.

Forgive my ignorance, but what role or position(s) has Woey been playing at Casey? 

I haven't watched that many casey games, but I think he has predominantly played as a pure winger.

That was certainly his role when he came on against the saints in the preeason game (from memory, replacing langdon).

Really enjoyed his cameo against Richmond in the AFL practice match at Casey. Just looked like one of those players that looked comfortable at this level and like McVee should be able to hit the ground running.

Hopefully the boys will be energised and excited by a debutant as they're grinding through the months of June and July which are the hardest for motivation, so they say.

Woey senior was on the radio on SEN this morning.

Was askes the same question.

His answer:  in 2022 he was predominantly a winger, this year he's had more exposure inside and at half forward.

Not claiming to be a Rhodes scholar when it comes to footy minutiae, but appears to play as as a member of the onball brigade at stoppages.  Young Taj can 'intelligently' get separation from his direct opponent which allows him time and space to assist his team mates in goal scoring chains or kick goals himself. Of course in the big league everything seems faster and the collisions more frequent.

Judging on last year's performances in the VFL, he has the requisite courage, took some big hits, including being infamously concussed in a dangerous act  by former Casey player Lefau at Punt Rd. At Princess Park in the ultimate finale he was TMM the best of the young guns.

Good Luck young Taj Woewodin.

It’s one of the great parts of AFL club culture. 

The big question is….
Did Shaun Smith, Todd Viney and Shane Woewodin all play in the same team? 

Yes they did. In fact this happened Woey Snr's first game:

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
