Given that #13 is unlikely to make an early contribution to our performance, I wondered about a team built out of ‘depth’. Take out all of the ‘A’ listers and what have we got?

How would this team fare?

 

FB:  Bowey, Adams, hore

HB Rivers, Turner, McVee

C Woewodin, Sparrow, Howes

HF Billing’s JVR McAdam

FF chandler, Petty, sestan

foll: Verrall, Laurie, Windsor

i/c ; Fullerton , moniz wakefield, tholstrup, schache.

 

To me it looks like it has real potential, a few of the players might be underdone at this stage, but it is a really good side.  I reckon it would not be the worst team going around, and shows the depth that we have if you tale our all of the big names.  Start adding back: max, Trac, Viney, may, lever, lingers,ANB,Pickett, etc etc and see how good the team can be.

 

 

That forward line looks 300% better than the one we fielded last start, and it doesn't even include Fritta, Melksham and Kozzie.

Looks like our team circa 2015 - 2016 a lot of talent and potential thank goodness we already have the stars ready and mostly available. The difference between then and now we can bring them in as they knock the door down.😁

It would win a few games, and tbh would prob beat teams we have fielded in the past.

Seriously? Imo would struggle to beat any VFL side 

Would won a few I reckon but more importantly it shows that we have some significant depth to our number one team.

It's definitely going to be an interesting season this one, watching which players really step up and how others continue their development.

Isn't Petty an A lister?

He is as a backman, but is new as a forward..

Highlights an old point about how young players need the 'protection' of an established core to help them develop and to be effective.

Many players on that list we would happily say are AFL-level, but if you forced them into match ups on the opposition's very best with no counter-balance of our stars, they would get ground down and eventually destroyed.

You could put together a list of the last 22 season's Rising Star winners and it would be mind-blowing viewed from a whole-career quality perspective (except for being a little thin for tall defenders) but if you had to play them all as if it was their first couple of seasons, you wouldn't necessarily have the ultimate team right away. In fact, you could even break them badly.

And just for fun:

B:           Mills         D Talia        Sheezel

HB:        Rich          Rivers         Heppell

C:          Daicos     O'meara      Deledio   

HF:        Serong    Riewoldt    Stephenson

F:          L Taylor    Hogan       Ko****knee

FOLL:   Jackson   Selwood    Walsh

Interchange: McGrath, Palmer, Haselby, Hannebery

The Casey team is a better indicator of depth.

B: Hore, Tomlinson, Adams

HB: Connelly*, McDonald, Turner

C: Howes, Oliver, Windsor

HF: Sestan, Schache, Tholstrup

F: Jefferson, B. Brown, Moniz-Wakefield

FOLL: Fullerton, White*, Steele*

IC: Verrall, Farris-White, K. Brown, Lual*, Shipp*

 

* = Casey listed

 

I know everyone has Tomlinson in their team but I'm not a believer that using Lever as a loose defender makes us a better team, rather see us play with an extra midfielder.

Oliver won't be fit enough to go straight back to the seniors he'll have to play some reserves football.

If that is the case ( and I believe you just  be pick if he is an A grader no matter what his position or in this case leave him out). 

Also in his 3 games ( 2 injured in and went off) he was in A grade form with 6 and / lots of 2 twice before half time). That’s A grade form as a forward no matter if new or not.

  Like to have a bet on that as Clarry won’t be picked if he can’t play close to AGL standard. 

we don’t know how or often he is training in any case. As

Guessing you’re not expecting too many wins for Casey this year

Petty, JVR, Bowey, Rivers and McVee are in our A list team. Maybe Sparrow and McAdam too. Remove them from that line up and replace with lesser Casey players, and imo, yes, they will struggle to win many games

Each to their own view!

End of 24 should see plenty of changes. 
 

BRAYSHAW.  BBB. MELKSHAM. TMCD. LAURIE. SCHACHE. JSMITH.  

Thats 7 list spots available in my view.  No nice boys to apply. Warriors only.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
