Ex-Saint Daniel McKenzie (27) is on the radar of a few clubs recently. Gaining "significant interest" reportedly.

Yes/No? 

I’d be a yes on this one based on current list composition— IF JT (who I was lucky to say gday to last weekend) thought it was right that is.

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.

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.

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

His name is literally Saad El Houli (with a different spelling of the surname)!

Casey signed Campbell Hustwaite and Leo Connolly for a reason and both have been injured/MIA.

So I agree, one more versatile midfield veteran would be great for Casey to help get them over the line in close games. But I don't think they're so light on that you'd make that a priority in the mid season draft. 

They rolled White, Billings, Laurie, Tholstrup and a bit of Sestan and Brown through the midfield last week against a Sandy midfield stacked with AFL experience and did fine.

The priority should be weighing long term players against short term AFL players (in any position).

Is there someone who will be a long term player that JT likes? Is there someone who will fill an important spot (even as depth - say back up ruck or key forward) in our best 26 for the rest of the year? Ideally it's both.

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.

Interesting that whomever wrote this thinks we may not add anyone at all, given that we are two down already, and have one vacancy.

IF there is anyone who fills any of our needs surely we should grab one.

I feel like we didn’t add a guy at least one year? Or didn’t use every spot? 

Or maybe I’m thinking of 2021 when we didn’t fill our list initially before taking 2 guys mid year.

I’ve never got a clear answer on how the MSD impacts the cap, if at all, but I do hope we make a pick!

Cut and paste style difference


SUBIACO RUCK/FORWARD #29

Luker Kentfield

Height: 194cm

Weight: 93kg

D.O.B: 10-09-2005

STRENGTHS:

+ Aerial ability
+ Contested marking
+ Conversion
+ Strength

IMPROVEMENTS:

- Production
- Speed

A hulking key forward with notable senior experience, Luker Kentfield is a prospect who has flown under the radar. Along with potential first-rounder Koltyn Tholstrup, he turned out in Subiaco's League side this year for 10 games and earned a call-up to the state Under 18 side for three appearances.

At 194cm, he rotated between the ruck and forward line and was able to be a mainstay against mature bodies due to his readymade frame. While doing so at AFL level will be tougher against taller and more athletic opponents, the 18-year-old held his own in the WAFL's top flight.

Kentfield is a strong marker and pure striker of the ball, albeit if opportunities are far from frequent. He averaged just six disposals, three marks and less than a goal per game this year, with his standout senior effort yielding four of his overall eight goals for the season from eight touches and four marks.

Can't argue with any of that.

Great summary of where our mid field stocks are at and the need to re-stock is critical.

Followed by a genuine KF talent if out there.  Could be Jeffo but we won't know for a while yet and in some ways he's more a medium-tall type forward.

Reminds me of when I first watched Jesse Hogan's junior highlights.


Another couple of midfield depth players i think we should be looking at that can fill the void left by Jordon and Harmes is Toby McLean and Rhys Mathieson.

These guys both can play at the AFL level and at a pretty good standard for back ups.

Que the Rhys hate, which i do not like the guy either.

I’m not sure that Rhys Mathieson would pass the relevant testing protocols any more..

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

  • 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.
