A new dawn for the Demons - our 2025 squad

So I think we would all like to see what abilities some players at Casey possess.

then play them against similar opponents, I mean the weaker sides not much point in playing them and having them walloped and lose all confidence.  But it needs to be more than one game at a time.  Remember JW. 

 

Which players are possibly open to a good offer? More like a wish list.

Ideally Age 22-25 , high impact, experienced, returning Victorian? Dissatisfied with currentteam/prospects?

Just scratching the surface though I’m sure to have included or missed something obvious.
Some high cost/value, others cheaper but may not offer much. Mainly speed - mids and forwards. Have not included any rucks as I believe it will be difficult to attract any after last year until Max actually retires. 

(grouped in clubs, possibility and by quality of the group)

Serong, Young, Brayshaw, 

Butters, Drew, Bergman, 

Davies-Uniake,

Holmes

Callaghan, Ash, 

Taranto, Baker, Short, Ross, Graham

Dale, Richards, Smith 

Sinclair, King, 

Rayner, 

Walsh, Curnow 

Parish, Hobbs, 

King, Humphrey, Ballard, 

Couldn’t find too many from these teams: Coll, Haw, WC, Adl.

 

Seriously frustrated by the way Goodwin drips Woey and Tomlinson yet puts games into Hunter, Billings, Laurie, Schache etc. They are not part of our future.
 

Quick list update and revision 

key defenders: May, Petty, Tomlinson (if he stays), Adams 

tall defenders: Lever, D.Turner, Hore. 

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

inside Mids: Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Sparrow

outside Mids: Langdon, Woey jnr (if he stays) , Windsor

key forwards: JVR, Jefferson, Fullarton , Kentfield 

tall forwards: Fritsch, Sestan

small forwards: ANB, Pickett, Chandler, Throlstrup, AMW, K.Brown

Rucks: Gawn Verrell

thats 33

End of 24- retirements: TMCD, Melksham, BBB

Delist: Schache, JS29, Farris-white 

Must be delisted ( but probably won’t): Hunter, Spargo, McAdam, Laurie , Billings.  Offer nil nudda nothing.

Specially Woewodin, it's a travesty. For such a young player that could become a 200 gamer for the club. Is there some lost love between Goodwin and Woewodin Sr?

I get the frustration but Woey is a developing young player. He had a couple of full games and was poor. Understandably dropped. Has made an impact as sub so he continued as such. Then dropped as needed some full game time. Not a travesty just a young player being developed. Just how Jordon, Sparrow, Bowey, etc etc were developed. We have been excellent in this area under Goody

until woey 2.0 can hit a target from 40m under zero pressure i'm not convinced he's going to make as an afl player

the amount of times at both afl and vfl level his kicks - particularly when trying to execute the switch - miss the target by some margin is a concern

Agree Picket with ageing stars May, and Gawn, then the late 20s stars of Viney, Lever, Trac, Clarry, Salem, ANB, Lingers  

Youngsters need to elevate themselves… Rivers, Fritsch, McVee, Pickett

Fritsch is not young, he's 28 I believe.

He’s 27, (not being smart, just sitting in an airport waiting lounge with time to kill).

A lot of senior players just turning up and not playing with passion.

In my world he is a baby… 🤓 In AFL terms he is still young ish

There are people in the side who are literally a decade younger than him. 


I am not convinced on JVR. As a KPF he makes a good relieving Ruckman. As a relieving ruckman he makes a good kpf. He doesn't do either well. Yes he has the odd good game followed by 5 ordinary ones. Sadly there is no one to take his place so he stays in.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
