Jimmy Munro last year and Mitch this year - boy we need to firm things up down there.

I’d suggest there’s problems.  Players rather go and play at Rosebud or Sorrento.  Most under 18s going elsewhere

@KC from Casey  disappointing season out at Casey.  Tough draw and tough scheduling.  
From this years squad, I would look to retain…

Primary List

Jack Bell 26.1.01. 203cm
Leo Connolly 7.8.01 181cm
Tyler Edwards 8.2.01 182cm
Tom Freeman 16.4.99 188cm
Roan Steele 22.10.01 182cm
Mitch Szybkowski 9.1.04 186cm

(add +4) having lost experience such as Munro, Grey, White , additional experienced players are needed !!! 

Development List: Category A

Riak Andrew 17.12.05 194cm
Paddy Cross 14.2.03 183cm
Brayden Laplanche 30.11.05 189cm
Ned Moodie 31.3.04 190cm
Charlie Peters 26.7.03 182cm
Kobe Shipp 12.5.05 188cm
Ziggy Toledo 15.4.04 194cm
Kai Windsor 27.1.04 180cm

(add +6) 

Obviously the AFL listed players make up the majority of the Casey Demons playing group each game.  Assume the “Casey” club needs minimum 24 players in the squad.  Some young players (unlikely to be drafted but have shown talent and good develop with the right extra support) to try to bring onto Casey’s development group for 2025 but are Henry Hayes, Ben Hopkins, Charlie Orchard (stingrays) and Asher Eastham, Max Stobie, Max O’Donohue(power). 

thoughts?
