A few changes at year end.


obviously BBB retires,

Hunter cannot have his contract extended,

Schache will be delisted

AND Tim Lamb and the footy department to explain why McAdam was given a 3-year contract !!! FFS 

A thorough  review of the footy & recruiting dept is needed on the drafting of these experienced players who have brought virtually zero a team who WERE in a premiership window vs what’s walked Jordan, Harmes, Grundy, would love to hear them explain the strategy around this??

    Fullarton good around the ground but in 50/50 ruck contests getting mauled by Lachie Smith.

    He’s not a genuine ruck so don’t think he has to be elite in this area, just adequate to have a spot in the afl side. He’s had 18 hit outs to 25 so not getting completely destroyed.

    Having Jack Macrae and Ryler Sanders in a VFL midfield is ridiculous.

    If Bevo ain’t playing Saunders he should allow transfer to us. Too good to be playing seconds. Lachie and Jack should get together for a round of golf or Smash Palace Derby. Reminisce about old times.

    Hard to watch. The Casey based players are a long way of VFL standard which makes it really difficult for the AFL based Casey players. MacRae and Saunders are class midfielders who are sick of racking up kicks. Our mids are not in this class. 

    Laurie, Pup Brown and a Casey defender have all not been able to hit a target 15meters away and turned it over. Pups kicking would need to improve immensley in both accuracy and depth. There is no doubting his endeavour and ferocity but we need players who can finish of their work.

    Another one to the Dogs - 12.8.80 to 5.5.35.

    KC I’m keen to get your thoughts on the Casey player acquisition and development.

    It seems we don’t have many high quality VFL players in the side other than Mitch White. What’s the reason for this?

    Long story but two of their experienced VFL recruits Connolly and Hustwaite are long term injured.

    Hunter will have to beg Goody to have any chance of playing his 200th game. It certainly won’t be on form.

    Haven't seem him at VFL level aside from ANZAC eve, but I'd imagine he's checked out and looking to call it a day.

    Tomlinson would also be struggling for motivation these days. Can see him on another list next year.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
