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.  

 

Maybe pretend to smother a pretend ball and knock peddles out and say it was a football act 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    We can't forget Blake Howes. Add a couple kgs and he will be a great 2nd or 3rd tall option for us.

    He’s an oversized flanker. Not an aerial defensive bone in his body. Has to improve that but more than anything needs to show the run and skills that saw him drafted.

    He is above average in intercept possessions, he's a nick blakey type imo. Hybrid key defender and rebounder.

    Tom Scully delisted (do not adjust your monitor)

    19yo 203cm forward. Only 2 years in the system then dumped.

    Kicked 20 goals from 18 games for Port SANFL this year. Not great but Port won the wooden spoon so it's not all his fault.

    Interesting prospect for a rookie spot?

    CARLTON midfielder Jack Carroll is among three players delisted by the Blues, despite playing 15 games this season. Blues being ruthless. They have cut a few and are loading up in this draft.  Whilst it’s tough on these young guys, they are seen as not quite good enough. Carroll can still be a good AFL player so it’s likely he will go home to WA and would be picked up by the Eagles or Dockers.

    Any news on Joel Smith??

    Justice delayed is justice denied, to be clear, not talking about what justice is denied for. So many double standards in the AFL, I'd really like to see him rehabilitated, he can actually play pretty bloody well and is easily the best of any player going around compared to anyone else on the delisted list. And on the bright side he has been injury free for 12 months.

    The below article published today discusses his delisting.

    Sorry if this sounds harsh but that’s a good result.

    Absolute nonsense having a player on the list that can’t play football.

    Now we can actually play 2025 and not have 2 players ineligible.

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

    Name them all please !

    It’s nothing to do with the AFL, in competition test is a WADA matter

    List cloggers IMO (current): Billings, McAdam, Fullarton, Laurie.

    Potential: Adams, Verrall, Sestan, Kentfield, Campbell.

    Yes, we need 'depth' players, backups, whatever term you use, but four of those named have been delisted by other clubs for a reason. Reports from Casey are that Jefferson is the only player that could debut next season.

    I hope I'm proved wrong.

    2024 squad = 45.

    Minus😭ANB, BBB, 😭Gus, KFW, Schache, Tomlinson & JS29 likely to go.

    Plus Campbell and Sharp.

    So now 40 on the list. 

    Dees likely to look at drafting 3 players in the draft and

    either a rookie or one spot for a SSP train in player over the summer.

    Is the period to pickup delisted free agents still open or do you need to use draft picks at this point?

    Opens again next Friday, and runs for a week. Not sure there will be much interest there, as clubs can wait for the draft and pick them up late, or wait for the supplementary period

    Max knobel will reportedly be delisted by Freo and picked up as a rookie. He had previously been mentioned on some posts....is he worth a look ? Only just 20 and 206 cm. Played at Gippsland as a junior. He didn't do too much this year and last, but is only 20.

    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.

    Petty should be tattoo'd into the full back goalswquare for the next decade. he could be an all australian if they actually let him flourish, even throwing turner behind the ball when may or mcdonald got subbed out of games ahead of petty was really poor to see imo from the coaching group

    Cloggers: Laurie, Billings, McAdam, Sharp, Howes, Fullarton, and chandler is probably lucky we dont have another top class small forward

    Agree with you on Petty playing in the backline however you’re very harsh on Sharp calling him a list clogger. Let the man at least play a game for us first.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
