Port must really dislike Teakle, they recruited 2 rucks in the off season - bit suspicious for that reason but fills a clear need. 

Yeah to me he has the size, athleticism and skills to easily be on an AFL list, so I was surprised he was delisted and no one took him, which might mean something especially as he's had injury concerns too. Port needed to bring in 2 established and healthy rucks and had young Visentini and it's hard to devote 4 list spots to rucks, especially when they have Dixon, Finlayson etc.

The question I'd have with Teakle is are the injuries a sign of a guy who doesn't put in the work to build his body and rehab effectively or are they just bad luck which might change?

He wouldn't give us much this year but I'd like to get him and hopefully sure up the back up to Max for a couple of years rather than kids or non ruckman types in Fullarton or Schache.

    From posts on BigFooty, Teakle got pantsed in the SA vs WA state game last week

    You'd have to imagine we would identify our lack of midfield depth and look to address that, i am sure if the club knew Gus would be forced to retire we may have retained Harmes, or fought harder to keep Jordan, the outcome ultimately is that we lose 3 AFL level mids from our depth and look a bit thin behind the big names. 

    Unsure who specifically we might target but i'd guess we will at the very least be looking at the available mature age midfielders

    Lachie Voss: what do we know?

    199cm tall defender who's had some injury problems over the years. If injury hadn't impacted him the general consensus is that he could have been a top 20 pick. He's certainly got the talent.

    Has only played the 2 coates league game so far this year.

    Still think we need to add to our midfield depth.

    Apparently has decent pace and turns in some pretty good 2km times for Sandy.

    Voss '...has his suitors higher than Melbourne...'.

    Regarding him, and other possibles, the only downside of our ladder leap yesterday!

    and my wildcard is 

    Oscar Van Dam.  Tassie under 18s …  Love his name and he’s a good young footballer too

    Surely we must pick up M.White he has been kicking [censored] in a weak team. If another team picked him up it would be a slap in the face for the MFC.

    Nice snag, if he's half as good as Saad or Houli he'll be a player

    Not nominated. He's been dominating at Casey for years, if he wanted to push to re-enter the AFL system he'd have likely done it by now. His body didn't stand up when he played AFL.

    Your handle is a perfect nickname should we draft him in.

    Wonthaggi boy Jack Hutchinson is expected to be picked early in the mid year draft.  Now at Collingwood VFL this year, his “Schwartz like” high marking has been a highlight and he’s a capable key forward goalkicker.  Likely the Eagles or Hawks might call out his name.

    I'm not sure about a "lack of midfield depth", we've been successfully running ANB, Pickett and Salem through there this year. Sparrow hasn’t spent as much time as usual in there as a result. A VFL player is not going to push ahead of those 4 and Laurie, especially when it gets down to our pick in the order. We'd be better off going for a high reward, high risk speculative pick. We don't need more foot soldiers.

    It's very clear at VFL level we are missing 1 or 2 big bodies around the ball after the retirements of Dunstan and Moose. Extra support at VFL level will help our younger players grow and will improve Casey overall.

    why are you comparing him to other Muslim players. Is it the style of his game??

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
