A new dawn for the Demons - our 2025 squad

[640MD 3,089]

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. 

[DiscoStu17 233]

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.

End of 24- retirements: TMCD, Melksham, BBB

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?

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,022]

I’d be giving TMac a 1 year deal on low coin if he’s interested.

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

[whatwhat say what 20,343]

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.

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

[old dee 23,256]

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.
