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!

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
