What happened with McLean? Did Bevo do a number on him too?

Yeh, he had injuries.  Got back to good form in the VFL and a few AFL games last year then was delisted.

    Thoughts on Kentfield @Pennant St Dee?

    Love Luka as a competitor hard as nails and would run through brick walls for you. Lateral movement and pace aren’t strengths, which I think may effect him at AFL level but he is only 18, could he be a Miochek, possibly in a few years.

    Seen him play against my oldest all the way through junior footy and they played cricket together as juniors super kid who comes from a good well grounded family

    We are also interested in Saad El-Hawli from the Northen Bullants.

    33 possessions and 2 goals against the Swans in the VFL last week not a bad way to represent just before the MSD.

    As much as El-hawli is exciting 

    is he really what we need out of him, Voss and Howe?

    Yeah, he is - a small coming in and able to play a role defensively and at ground level is far more likely to appear at afl level than a speculative tall

    I definitely get your view.

    I’d prefer either of the other two

    Our MFC listed youngsters at Casey are “fillers” In my view in the midfield.  Sestan will not be a midfielder.  He is a smart goalkicking player. That’s his future role.  Laurie is a small forward like Spargo.  They are not AFL potential mids.  Given the loss of our depth, Harmes, Jordon, Dunstan, Munro and Gus as a first rate mid, we need to restock.  We have young talls and mid sized flankers both front and back.  We need more ball winners and midfield runners. We are lucky our midfield depth hasn’t been tested and we’re healthy right now. I’d get a young midfielder in as our mid year draft pick. 

    Would / should we be looking at Collier-Dawkins at all NS?

    I've only seen his match against us but he was pretty impressive.

    Probably others before us that will be into him though

    All roads lead to El Hawli if he hasn't been selected before our pick.

    Any chance we will pass? A recruit through mid season may play at Casey until the end of the year to learn systems, etc build a suitable engine and a body of work to warrant selection.  It a bit of the ‘bus stop of desperation’, unless we can access a kid who we missed at the real draft and think has what we need next year or beyond.

    I hear Collingwood are also quiet keen on him and they have a pick before us.

    How does the order get calculated for the MSD? Ought not we be before them?

    I agree we're missing Dunstan and Moose there but I don't think we want to burn list spaces on that. We need Casey to list them.

    Your priorities are misguided Recruiting in the MSD is not for Casey in the short term but MFC either short or long term depending upon needs. Daniel Turner was sort of both  terms and most others have been short term.

    I think you need to re-read my post.

    Obviously the club works through available players for current and future needs.  They’d assess our current 2024 squad and see how it might need boosting with additional player that 1/could fill a spot if we hit injuries or 2/ add to an area where the current group is thin or ageing or 3/ be a wildcard pick to bring some extra to the squad.  

    Thought I’d do a list assessment to see where our structure sits right now  

    key defenders: May, tmcd*, Tomlinson (Adams) 

    tall defenders: Lever, D.Turner, Hore. JS29#

    med/sml/running defenders: Rivers, Bowey, Salem, Mcvee, Howes (ANW)

    inside Mids: Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Sparrow, Laurie, Tholstrup

    outside Mids: Langdon, Windsor, Woey jnr, Hunter 

    key forwards: JVR, Petty*, Schache,  BBB, Fullerton (Jefferson) 

    tall forwards: Fritsch, Melksham (Sestan) 

    small forwards: ANB, Pickett, Chandler, McAdam , Spargo

    Rucks: Gawn (Verrell) (Farris-White) 

    Maybe there is a thought that our key forward stock looks vulnerable if Petty takes up the Crows football/golf lifestyle combo.  Can see why youngster like Kentfield (whilst raw) is being considered.  I’d like another young true mid to supplement our squad.  Wait and see.

    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.

    But surely we shouldn't be looking to draft for our Casey team. Whoever takes up an AFL list spot, should be expected to break into the AFL 23, rather than provide depth to our reserves side.

    I hope someone picks up Kobe Ryan from West Adelaide. A tall mid, good skills and hard as nails and dare say would be the best player in the SANFL ATM.

    Yep, a bit in afl.com.au that they may need to take Teakle. I suppose it's whether they think he'll be available later on

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
