Few moves happening.

Unfortunately we've lost George Grey who's been a solid contributor for the last number of years. He's off to Frankston.

Talented junior prospect who was incredibly unlucky to miss out in last year's AFL draft is joining Casey from Frankston. Was in the AFL Academy and played at Dandenong Stingrays as a big bodied midfielder.

    Casey have also recruited ex St Kilda Leo Connelly who was delisted this year. 

    Played 7 games at elite level all back in 2021.

    Played all year in the VFL for Sandy and averaged 19 disposals playing as a half back/midfield.

    Looking forward to Szybkowski's pronunciation from commentators 😂

    Szybkowski = Shib-kov-ski

    Fortunately, BT doesn't do VFL

    Unfortunately, he still does AFL

    Thanks @dazzledavey36 

    Grey is a huge loss. Had an excellent 2022 in premiership year and even better 2023. He’s a smokey to get a rookie spot but might again miss out.  

    I think Leo Connolly is an excellent addition.  Good pace and run through half back or on the wing.   

    I don’t think Riak Andrew will get drafted or rookied but has real upside potential so would be good to continue his development in a system like Casey (whilst also getting some MFC development).

    @Whispering_Jack  @KC from Casey

    tell someone at Casey to get a pen and a contract 

    Local boy who imv was very very unlucky not to get drafted.  His unavailability for the combine was a disappointment.  

    Kade De La Rue
    State: Victoria Country
    State League Club: Dandenong Stingrays
    Community Club: Beaconsfield
    Date of Birth: 19/11/05
    Height: 183cm

    A medium midfielder/forward whose strength is accumulating the ball and then making good decisions with his neat disposal. Had an excellent season with the Dandenong Stingrays in the Coates Talent League where he averaged 20.5 disposals, 4.4 tackles and 2.8 clearances across 11 matches. Represented Victoria Country in all four of its matches at the National Championships including being among his team’s best with 22 disposals and five marks in the victory against Western Australia. Was unable to test at the Draft Combine due to injury.

    Really nice kick of the footy, probably too plain for AFL but happy to have a close look at him at Casey to see if he can go to another level. I like the idea that he can play mid, wing or half back so he can be used to bolster the young demons rather than hog a role.

    Does anyone actually care? As I have been saying for YEARS desolve this Basket Case of a competition and replace it with AFL reserves! George who ? Who cares? BRING BACK AN ALIGNED AFL RESERVES with no Frankston, Southport or anyone else non aligned to an AFL team!

    @KC from Casey

    surely Kobe is going to be in Casey list for 2024  

    father-son connection and he’s shown great form this year

    he deserves to keep his potential AFL dream alive 

    20 metre sprint at state combine of 3.0 seconds as good as any with good burst through half back 

    Kobe Shipp

    Defender/Winger

    187cm – 80kg

    Played plenty of football as a bottom-aged player for Dandenong and made a name for himself on AFL Grand Final day last year with an intercept-marking masterclass in the under-17s all-stars clash.

    Shipp is good one-on-one and distributes well out of the back half, but played on a wing throughout the national championships given Vic Country’s talent-laden halfback line. He has had excellent year for Dandenong and holds his width to get possessions in space.

    VFL: top signing for North Melbourne VFL squad. The Kangas have locked in ex-Demon Deakyn Smith, who won the Casey Demons' best and fairest this year, polling votes in every round.

    Deakyn deserves another go at Arden Street. Clarko, Todd and Co may sit up and take notice. Kids got talent!

    If we’re putting in requests then I thought Tarkyn O’Leary was unlucky to not be drafted and would be worth a look as an outside runner.

    As well as Sammy van Rooyen, who probably just stays at Claremont and goes through the grades but it would be nice to have him over here.

    Agree totally,In an area, I deem weak on our list, being small backs,I feel we should have retained him.At least for another year.Best of luck Deakin, hope you make it.With regards Shipp andO’leaty both should be given a trading run with the hope of making our last pick via SPP.

    In retrospect probably a victim of our increasingly gentrified or is it geriatricfried(?) list. Not naming names but there are a few gents nearing the superannuated end of their tethers. Trust Goody has the Tardis tuned up for a career defining retrospective.

    Tarkyn O’Leary should be at Sandringham VFL in 2024. Outstanding runner. Elite skills. Excellent GF performance.  Very unlucky. He played 3 games for Sandy VFL team last year and impressed. Thoughts Saints were his option but they went Schoenmaker with final pickup.

    I'd love Casey to sign delisted Gold Coast forward, Brodie McLaughlin. Still has something to offer an AFL list, in my opinion.

    Yes I agree but Casey already is a logjam of tall forwards - Schache, Jefferson, BBB, Tmcd -plus alternative of Fullerton/Verrell. McLaughlin should go to Frankston as their number 1 forward.

    As mentioned, would love to see Kade Delarue and Kobe Shipp join Casey. Both have plenty to offer aside from being locals. 

    Have a feeling Shipp will be a late developer just like his father.

    Great signing. Definitely hope he gets game time at Casey next year.  He has the run and skills to be an AFL player in the future 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    • 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.
