• Tomlinson. He played well under constant pressure. A few mistakes but could be considered to replace May. 
• Moniz-Wakefield. I like him. Good at the contest. Tackles like he means it. Hope he debuts this year. 
• Laurie. Has the skill but seems to be too casual at times. Needs a rocket. Likely end of year delisting. 
• Fullarton. Perhaps still settling in.  He’s an athlete and can be handy.  
Woewodin.  Nice runner but needs better support. One of the better players today. 
• Adams. Still young and raw. 2nd year.  Perhaps ready by 2026  
• Jefferson (see Adams)  … but as a first rounder, I am getting worried.  
• Tholstrup. I can see why we jumped up spots and gave away 1st and 2nd round combo to get him.  Should debut in 2024.  Good competitive attitude. Likely start as a half forward.  
• Schache .  No no no.  Has not developed in 7 years.  Nice bloke but lacks the competitiveness to be a strong key forward.  End of year delisting.  
• K. Brown.  No frills. Socks down footballer. I like his heart and scrap.  
• Verrall. (See Adams). 
• Farris-White.  A punt.  No success here.

    Casey looks like they relied way too heavily on Munro and Dunstan for all the grunt work. They seem to have fallen apart as a result.

    Not the best game I’ve seen. 
    Strangely, the talls were better at ground level and less fumbly than the smalls, who kept handballing to the ground (or opposition).

    Nobody could hit a side of a shed with a pass into the forward line - the amount of kicks that went behind or over leading forwards and straight to the opposition was laughable.

    The smaller players did have more marks though.

    I agree, AMW is nearly slated in, heard it on the rumour roundabout.

    I just didn't see him in the first half, especially when the ball was in the area he was playing.

    Given he is possibly one of next ones to be given an opportunity at AFL level, I was expecting much more.

    Though, a bad day for many of them.

    On that outing and pre-season practice match form, it appears Casey Demons have slipped from being contenders to a re-building phase. Plenty of opportunity for a relatively young list to build resilience, develop their physiques and hone their skills.

    Unlike some I won’t be announcing on a very limited sample, that players are not going to reach AFL standard, draft picks have been wasted or an immediate mass cull is in order.

    Judging by the migration of posters from threads mostly celebrating the ‘Joie de Vivre’. of recent senior team performances. Out at Casey Fields there are hectares of space for wallowing in the wintry mire of MFCSS. etc

    I think for the 90% of picks JT has got right in the last 5-6 years posters can call out the potential bad ones. It doesn’t always have to be roses

    I'd be stoked if we can delist Kye Farris White before the mid season draft if it means it frees up a spot for an actual footballer from the bush or suburban who knows how to actually play as a ruckman.

    Genuinely one of the worst AFL listed players I've seen since Brendan Van Schaik.

    What a waste of a list spot.

    I don’t think that delisting him would create a vacancy for the purposes of the mid season draft. 

    I do agree that on his display today, he doesn’t appear to be up to it.

    Remember the loss of 2 list spots - Brayshaw and Smith, and the injuries to Turner, Melksham, Macadam, Bowey and Spargo which means in effect Casey are playing 8 men down...That's a lot of players...

    Yeah look I was being half sarcastic especially as he is category B.

    You'd think with the potential to step up as a potential back up for Gawn he'd show a bit more grit and determination but I've genuinely never seen a player completely out of his depth at any football level.

    I still havent heard what happened tp Bell?

    Although the answer could be somewhere in this thread. Apologies if so.

    On his day he was the best of any of the listed recruits playing that position at Casey over the last few seasons. 

    And by a fair margin.  Did he have some off days?  Of course.  But his best was very serviceable and sometimes more than that.

    Hopefully just injured and coming back soonish?

    I'm surpirsed he survived and made it into this season TBH.

    where does Casey get its top up players?

    Is there a VFL 2s?

    We looked poor but top point Monbon

    AMW shows a bit but his disposal is not good enough. 

    Disappointing half by Woewodin, with too many mistakes. He needs to get stronger and cleaner.

    Brown is a clever player. But is too small for AFL at the moment. 

    Jefferson shows no AFL qualities. 

    Tholstrup does some good things but not enough. 

    Laurie is a good ordinary VFL player.

    Schache played a decent half but doesn’t have the competitive spirit to play as a forward in the AFL. 

    We should probably just delist them all and start over with a fresh set of 18 y/o kids. Maybe if we put our hand up to move to Tassie we'll get some extra draft picks and some better ones next time.

    True. Box Hill were one of the better Victorian teams in the ‘VFL’ last season.

    Pick 13 for Tholstrup still remains a question mark for me. Does not seem to be impacting at this level at all

    This is a ridiculous take. 

    Even if you have high expectations, being this critical of an 18 year old after his first VFL match ever is completely insane.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
