  • Demonland changed the title to 5 Young Dees Re-Sign

Looks like they all signed 1 year deals. Happy to give all of them 1 more year. Makes sense to me. All five of them are young and have a bit of 'project player' about them.

Gives us stacks of list flexibility if we suck in 2025 and need to rebuild at the end of next year.

    MELBOURNE has locked in a quintet of young talent, with Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Kynan Brown, Will Verrall, Oliver Sestan and Luker Kentfield all signing new deals with the club.

    The five players put pen to paper this week, extending their time in the red and blue until at least the end of 2025.

    Surprised to see Sestan given another year.  Gradual improvement and is smart around goals.  But hard to see where he fits in. Had 3-4 good games but went missing in another 8-9 games.  Injured across 5-6 for the year.  Have to back in the club who sees him as one of those project players !!!

    this was the first year that sestan has been given significant game time in the middle at vfl level - he deserves at least a full year to get up to the required fitness levels to go from a deep forward to a midfielder

    from watching a lot of the casey streams in the last few years, what's clear is that the talent and skill is there but the tank and the consistency needs significant improvement

    i'm confident that sestan has attributes to compete at afl level - i see him as similar to a player like harmes who was far fitter yet still took his time to establish himself in a significantly poorer side, first as a forward who could play a bit as a mid, then as a tagger, then eventually as a second rotation mid in his own right

    Needs to get AFL fit.

    If he can/does I think he has the tools to make it.

    An excellent kick, but simply does not have the tank to get enough of the pill.

    He has a pretty good attitude so I expect he’ll take this opportunity to continue his physical evolution. 

    His ability to find the footy needs to improve along with his fitness. He’ll never be prolific but getting involved in more strings of play would help him and Casey/Melbourne as he is pretty good with ball in hand.

    Kynan Brown looked good in the 4 seconds we were able to see him at level.

    kynan will make it. he got that dog in him and some talent. just needs a tank.

    I agree, Kynan will make it, but he has some things to work on. He was careless with disposal in the latter rounds at Casey this year leading to some silly turnovers. He gets the ball, and that's a big plus. Also tackles hard!

    Does Sestan have any leg speed? We need more players who can kick and can spread.

    Huge news for Casey!

    Verrall’s worth more time. Sestan and AMW have talent but I’d have been in no rush to sign them, if they can’t improve their running they won’t make it.

    So you mean AMW was gifted AFL games this year?

    All of heard about Sestan is “he’ll be great when he gets the tank” How long does that take?

    When you’re coming off no base, a while. 
    He might not make it, but if the club has seen improvements, which you presume they have, then that’s a good sign. 
    He surely knows he has to show something in 2025 or it’s the end of the road.

    I'd rather these 5 getting extended for a year than Hunter, Hore and JS.

    Is Jed Adams still under contract?

    Yes. Fun first half in Brisbane but after that it was clear he’s a mile off

    Good luck young men. Congratulations on the extensions!

    I believe we can keep AMW as a cat B for 1 more season if he agrees?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
