Big boy forward which probably gives us a complementary skill set from Schache and Fullarton. Seems less mobile than them but willing to camp under the high ball and compete, which we need. 

Old fashioned style of forward so Iā€™m excited to see how his skill set translates to AF L level.

Going to be an interesting Casey team with Jefferson, Brown, Fullarton, Schache and Kentfield in the same forward line!

Ah old style forward?? Big Bob Johnson says Hi!!šŸ˜‚šŸ¤©

A little disappointed that we overlooked the chance for immediate help for a project tall who hasnā€™t really done anything to suggest heā€™d be an in demand pick in the top 45 of the national draft.

But obviously we need more tall forward help and in JT we trust. 

Skills look nice and seems to understand using his body, height/athleticism (if destined to play back up ruck as well as forward) and output are probably the question marks.

Had enough of project players.

Kolt and Filthy Luker can combine for our record breaking 2025,6,7,8,9 flags

Next Tony Lockett

I would be very disappointed were he to go, after starring for us, to Sydney.

 

But in all seriousness, welcome - but be warned that there are posters lurking here who will call you a spud, loser etc if you don't become a superstar within a couple of years.

Would have played together at Subiaco as well.

fixed.

Hard no for me and the reasons are he can kick for goal, fritta won't allow that, he can play on straight away and pass a ball at eye level and can mark so that's to many problems for us to get that out of him.....

Oh it's sarcasm folks so settle down.

 

He looks like he's quite natural at the forward/second ruck role which is exciting! amazing he slipped to the MSD

Worth a shot. He ticks a lot of boxes from the reports. Mid season draft picks donā€™t normally pan out so I have no issue swinging for the fences with a Forward/Ruck. Good luck Luker.

Within a couple of gamesā€¦ā€¦. šŸ˜³

No surprise we targeted a key forward not a mid.

Coz 99 problems and our mids ain't one.

Couple of years. For some it will be a couple of games.

But yes welcome, the opportunity is there

tomlinson ain't in our best 23

Speculative pick considering we have a few KPFs clogging the list. 

Unless this guy could make an immediate impact I would have preferred building the mid depth. 


Interesting message to Fullarton and Schache.  If they were up to it, would we be cutting their lunch selecting this kid??

Yes we do but not many we can actually pick. I suspect shache isnā€™t playing another game at the dees, BBB can maybe play a couple more but also may also be finished. Pettys injury may re flareā€¦ perhaps it already has. Fullerton is there but not yet in frame and jeffo may mot play til 25. So if Petty or JVR go down we have no one really thatā€™s ready despite a list of names.

The midfield thatā€™s needed Nibbler and Kossie to go on ball to provide some run and speed, has had to move Langdon to half forward to have run there and is suddenly relying on Hunter again doesnā€™t need reinforcements?

I can see the case that no one really stood out, but weā€™d be silly if we donā€™t reinforce the midfield and mid/forward depth this offseason.

Surely, the nickname will be ā€œFilthyā€ (Luker)?

Does he live on the 2nd floor?

I don't mind it at all provided we're looking to build mid field at the trade table at year's end

A big bodied forward who seems quite agile.  Might be a nice point of difference in our mix.

Maybe get a gun ex forward down on contract to show him, Roo and Jeffo some of the finer points of forward craft in this second half of the season.  Might help fast track them a little.  Couldn't hurt surely?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sundayā€™s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
