    Couldn't make it at 2 clubs before, including Geelong who have proven to be incredible at identifying and developing talent. No reason to think he would work here.

    That’s not a reason for rejecting a player solely. The Cats have many flanker types some now more skilled and quicker than that list in 2024.

    I M O we are possibly short on a HFF/ winger which we have attempted to solve by Harry Sharp. As he is young he is the right age and is a needs based selection and his role I hope can fulfill our expectations. Others in competition for the HFF probably high role that ANB had a grip on for at least a half decade are Chandler McAdam Maybe Bowey, Kolstrup slightly different type but equally ok for potential and style and ability if he develops. 
    Personally I would like AMW to also get a go as HF flanker as his skills and pace are vital to that position plus he has kicked goals at Casey in that position. Kossie is usually on the other flank but may be in ball more or in a forward pocket sometimes or even sole full forward as in the SF vs Blues in 2023 where he nearly won the game for us. 

    So maybe don’t need Narkle or Parfitt after all.

    Perhaps the sleeper in our list who is constantly underrated is Pup Brown. I expect him to put his fears and soul  into gaining a spot in 2025. A On the ball or HF flanker role is not beyond him as he is a very solid and positive player who wants to succeed desperately.

    The Hawks officially delisted Denver Grainger-Barras.

    Here is the link about it: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1245799

    I wouldn't mind giving him a 2nd chance as a replacement for Adam Tomlinson.

     

    What was the knock on DGB… injury? Failure to work hard?  Highly rated junior but didn’t show enough development/ desire.  Assume he goes back home to WA.

    All good questions that unfortunately I cannot answer.

    All I know is that he has had talks with Carlton and could be possibly signed by them as a DFA.

    I think at 22 and 195 cms he could be worth a chance. We are a little light down back now and he could improve in a new club.

    Skinny, not overly tall, doesn’t win the ball in the air, doesn’t use it well. 

    He looked great as an underage draft prospect but stalled in his draft year and just hasn’t improved.

    Currently in Port Douglas and I’ve run in to Thommo a couple of times and he looks really fit.

    Dogs making tough decision on a young 20 year old. Aside from Weightman, I thought the Dogs were light on for small forwards.  Clarke kicked 23 goals for VFL team across 16 games.  Made his debut this year.  I saw some of the finals game VFL Dogs v Lions and to be honest he was quiet.  Maybe they saw themselves as well covered for small forwards.  High draft pick delisted early.  
     

    THE WESTERN Bulldogs have made a further list change, axing small forward Charlie Clarke after two seasons with the club.

    The 20-year-old managed just one senior game in his time at the club, in round nine this year against Hawthorn.

    The former Sandringham Dragon was touted as one of the best pressure forward options in his draft year, and joined the Bulldogs with pick No.24 in the 2022 draft.

    Still has a bit of talent?

    Only 20 years old.

    Worth a 2nd chance at the Demons?

    Here's what is written about him from the Rookie Me website: https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/charlie-clarke/

    Apparently he kicked 7 goals against Tasmania in the Under 18s? Not a bad effort!

    Here is his highlights video:

    For the club to have delisted Thommo they must have someone in mind as we have no back up strong key position defender.  Nothing in the delisted fields so far that fit the bill so wouldn't be surprised to see something from WA or SA in their leagues into a rookie spot.

    Played 3 finals this year,  wouldnt grab him for best 22, but if we're after free depth does it hurt to ask the question? 

    2 kicks and 3 tackles from those 3 games

    Hard pass

    I’d definitely look at DGB

    Anyone got hawks mates (god forbid) that have an opinion on him?

    Talking to a former Casey forward coach down by the pool and he told me he was talking to Tommo who thinks he's about a 60% t0 70% chance to get picked up by Collingwood. Speaking of which, Pendle's is up here on holidays too.

    hopefully its petty returns down back, meaning jeffo might get a look in or we go with just jvr and turner and then fritsch melky mcadam combo for the third tall, like the hawks this year, more dynamic less predictable going inside, of course this is reliant on being able to hit players on leads and we know how we go at that...

    I'm certainly all for throwing a life line out to DGB. And if not him then Caleb Marchbank. The only key defender we have coming through is Jed Adams who I'm not sold on. Who knows how long May & McDonald will go on, so we need some other options down there.

     

    Either would be worth a go IMO, but preferably DGB.

    No DGB. No Narkle. We've fully subscribed when it comes to list cloggers, with at least eight.

    Interesting @MadAsHell  agree that May (33 in Jan-25) and Tom McDonald (just turned 32) are now in the twilight of their careers.  McDonald probably will finish end of β€˜25 and May end of β€˜26.  We had Petty as a key defender but seems like we are trying to convert him to fix the MFC key forward ongoing absence.  Tomlinson let go.  Adams is certainly not yet ready. I’d have him 50/50 if he even makes it.  Otherwise the cupboard is bare.
     

    Agree we would like to add another taller defender.  It might be that the Dees keep a list spot open and invite players for an SSP train on option available over the summer.  Not sure about Marchbank due to many many years of injury. Prefer Ethan Phillips as an option. At 6’6 and 90kgs, at 25yrs he’d cover off the defence if May or Tmcd were absent.

    The difference between β€˜depth’ and β€˜list clogger’ is a successful season…

    • 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 β€˜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?
