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.

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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
