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.

    If that was 15 metres umpire you’re vertically challenged.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
