Looks like there is still interest. Thought we can only use 1 draft pick tonight

    How can we pick up? What’s the play here?

    If someone leaves the list a spot opens up.

    Does Viney probably having long term injury count?

    Yes.

    No.

    If no one "retires" do we have any spare spots?

    Of course if they "retire" it will be a full payout so any "new" player has salary cap implications

    My guess is he is a mid season pickup chance, by then we will probably have at least someone out for the remainder of the year

    This guy was ragdolling senior defenders left and right.

    I have no doubt he caught the eyes of the coaches. The fact that he'll be lining up for Casey this season shows that we still have a slight interest in him.

    Big brute forwards who can't run just don't have a place in the modern game.

    Would Plugger Locket get a game today?

    I guess that's what everyone thought, and why he isn't on a list.

    I think he just proved those people wrong.

    I do have my concerns about his profile fitting the modern game, but sometimes you do need a sledgehammer on your list.

    Obviously delivery inside the F50 under King will be interesting, and we've added to the small forward fleet.

    But I do see some benefits in bringing him in, at least we can keep an eye on him at Casey.

    If we have a spot at mid-season we'll prob be towards the pointy end of that as well

    I'm not a fan of Johnson, and think he will be lucky to play a game this year, but it seems to me that we already this type on our list. I don't think we need two of them.

    AJ has a real go in the ruck and the air but he’s actually a far better athlete and less of a bruiser. Strong endurance and good agility, he’s much more similar to a JVR or Mihocek, just with a country footy look about him and the bald head.

    The big questions for AJ are whether he can stay healthy (the intraclub wasn’t a good start) and whether he has the skills/forward craft at the level.

    Big Ah-Mu probably compares with Kentfield but with another inch of height to get him even closer to ruck size. He’s probably competing for a list spot with the likes of Luker and Kalani White.

    For a young developing list there’s room for all 3 but I’m going to need more than a good quarter and a bit with good service against tiring defenders to be convinced he’s a must add.

    One decent quarter lined up on Jed Adams in a low intensity intraclub match at Casey is not proving anyone wrong.

    If he’s lucky, he’ll get a spot on an afl list from a mid season draft. Doubtful that eventuates though, and even more doubtful he ever makes it at AFL level. His only attribute is he’s a big lump of a lad. He lacks aerobic ability required for AFL, footy iq, defensive ability, and has average skills. There’s a reason he’s not on an AFL list, even as a rookie. There are better prospects to use list spots on.

    If the May gate is serious enough this could present an opportunity for Ah-mu.

    I still reckon Viney will be out for the year with his Achilles injury.

    North, Adelaide, Port, west coast, GWS, Carlton, Swans all have big bodied forwards that don't get around that much. Mihocek isn't all that mobile. Some others like Essendon, Pies, Cats and Saints often use a spare ruckman as a key forward. It's really only Freo, Lions, hawks, Suns and Dogs because they are lucky to have 2 or more mobile big men, who don't often use a big bodied stay at home forward.

    Problem is that is we don’t claim him at this time then anyone can take him in the midseason draft. What if he stars for Casey in the first half of the season? We could miss out.

    We can't claim him 'at this time' as we don't have a spare spot on our list. And we may never have [in 2026].

    Zone defence would certainly have strangled his numbers. But as a Jesse Hogan type, but a better kick, he would have still kicked plenty.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
