Speedy mids with skill in the draft and speedy mids at trade.

I’m not fussed if we recruit good VFL players because our Casey team is putrid, it’s still helping our young kids by improving that side as well

If they’re not your ideal trade then they are not worth pursuing. Better to find a young recruit and try to develop his talent.

Well that would be boring in the Trade wish list 

Peter Wright as a forward/ruckman type to give Gawn a decent chop out instead of throwing JVR in there.

James Peatling for more midfield talent. After seeing him monster Clayton Oliver around the stoppages against GWS I want this kid big time.

Malcolm Rosas for more half forward offence and speed inside 50. I don't particularly rate Chandler all that highly and I think Rosas could easily be our Jack Ginnavin for next year if given a fresh start with a brand new offensive game plan.

Will Brodie, Alex Davies and even Ben Hobbs for added midfield depth.

Don't think any of these players are on the trade table. Wright was on the outer towards the end of last year but 50+ goals and a bnf in 2022 don't think the bombers would just let him go for nothing .

Perhaps that is why this topic is a “Wishlist”.


Mac Andrew every day of the week for me. Can’t think of a player that would dovetail any better with Max. Can play back, ruck and forward. Didn’t have his best game against us but he going to be a star. The $12m over 5 years is just his agent trying to hype him up. 
Def need mids Peatling and Brodie would be very welcome too. 

I'm coming around slightly on the Brodie idea. At very worst he provides much needed depth, a luxury we probably didn't value as much until it was gone. 

If the deal was cheap I'd say go for it.

I finally get to post a vague 'in the know' post like this, but hearing Richmond might be his destination.

That’s some guaranteed game time right there

Rivers potential as a mid looks sound, McVee is nowhere near ready and is so accomplished at HB you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul. Tholstrup is also a fair way off. He has some solid attributes but he’s got a long long way to go. We desperately need Oliver’s best back to be the extractor along with Viney. We simply must get 2 “Windsor” level mids through the door this draft period. 

Yep 2 Windsors would be amazing. We will hopefully get another decent pick for ANB after he finishes high in the B&F. 

Agree somewhat on Tholsltrop, he has some clever attributes and will be good in heavy traffic, and is a competitor. but he was off the pace and thats ok you can learn that. I forgot how many times Nathan Jones was caught in his first couple of years but he learnt it slowly but surely. 


I'm not a fan of getting Will Brodie because I see him being another Luke Dunstan. He'll dominate in the VFL but will get overlooked for selection even when we have injuries to our on-ballers. Would much rather spend the cash on Peatling or draft pick on Hobbs, who still have upside.

My biggest concern is Alan Richardson coming out and saying our list profile needs to get older rather than younger. This gives me vibes of getting the next Hunter, Billings or Hore.

The thing is we need another Dunstan who can make Casey competitive again. If we want our younger players to improve while at Casey we need to play to a decent standard and similar game still to the first. 
Brodies racking up great number in the WAFL. I see it as him and Sparrow competing for same spot. 

Names in the hat …Parfitt (cats) Rosas (suns), Brodie (Freo) 

Wishlist … Peatling (GWS) 

Unlikely but worth a discussion… Davies (suns) Hobbs (ess) Wright (ess) 

pick up the phone … Jai Serong (hawks)

I think our main priority is to pick up a ruckman like Fort or Moyle.

If we could get a few depth midfielders like Robertson or Brodie that would be a bonus.

Is Deven Robertson contracted to end 2025? I think so.  He was courted by the Eagles but stayed at Brisbane.  I’m sure Eagles might try again - though they have Reid, Ginbey, Hewitt and will add pick 3 midfielder this year most likely so could be already setup with next gen mids.

Add Ollie Lord to the list as a Key Fwd and Erasmus and Sheldrick would be ahead of Davies and Hobbs for me.

Ginbey has looked good as a backman, Hewitts body is struggling. Hence why graham and robertson r of interest to them

Andrew Brayshaw.

Would love to get Andy to the Dees at the end of 2025, but hard to see him leaving the Dockers given how bright their future is and that he’s their captain in waiting 

We can dream though 🥹

What ever happened to Will Setterfield? 

After some average seasons at Carlton, I recall him being fairly decent after being traded to Essendon?

My perfect player:

- End of career
- Played half a good season four to 12 years ago
- I heard someone once say they were "clever with footy in hand" (I've seen no evidence of this, but it sounds good)
- Studiously avoids contact

The last sentence indicates a Craig Bradley type then? 

Again Tim Lamb will have a big whiteboard and is setting out an agenda

midfield depth 

Key defender  (May ageing, Tmcd on last legs, Tommo will go elsewhere, Adams still a work in progress) 

Ruck relief for Gawn … Verrall & Fullarton seen as unlikely.  Try to keep JVR as key forward impact  

Protect Pick 5 …  hands off !!! 

Get pick 25 off Crows for ANB

Wishlist … Peatling (GWS) 

pick up the phone to managers of …Angus Sheldrick (Swans), Neil Erasmus (Freo), Seamus Mitchell (hawks ) Jai Serong (hawks) , Nick Bryan (ess) , Ben Hobbs (ess) Peter Wright (ess) 

Out of contract …Davies (suns), Kreuger ( pies) 

Names to see what they could add  … Parfitt (cats) Rosas (suns), Brodie (Freo)

Absolutely the number one target next year. Nothing less than a 6 year contract. Andrew Brayshaw will turn 26 at end of next year.  Six year deal will be sought and will push Freo into uncomfortable territory.  You never know !!!

Andy Brayshaw’s about the safest bet in the league, Freo won’t have any issues giving him 6 years. The question will be money and whether he’s happy over there. 

The sticking point is whether Serong will leap him for the captaincy and whether Young, Serong, Bolton all leap him as mids and he has to play forward or wing more.

In the real world you sign Brayshaw. In a fantasy world building a perfect side I’d want a big bodied mid and more forward class to play next to Young, Serong, Bolton more than I’d want Brayshaw. But I suspect he’ll be signed by March.

  • 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. Sunday’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 Fullarton’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 Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’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 wasn’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 team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’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 Demons’ 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 they’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 ‘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. Sunday’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?
