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?

    Why would we be interested?

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
