Good player, but wrong sort of winger for us. We needed, and still need, more of a speed merchant.

I see what you did there...

According to the contracts list we have a full list of rookies. Maybe we might pick up Yze at 61.

Pick 51 will be used on Derksen.

Hore may still go of the rookie list for Yze

With Windsor and Langdon clearly ahead of him, he clearly didn't fancy another season at Casey.

Nar more like the basket case scheduling of the Smithy's league.

For the same reason Dogs' supporters were happy to see him go. Best to ask one of them, if you know any. As mentioned, our mods will be keeping a close eye on this thread. For good reason.

Spot on …these retirements & de listings are all in line with current events 

All the best

 

For his sake i really hope he has some things in place for the next chapter in his life................

Why do dees fans hate the bloke so much?

I don't hate him personally at all. I do hate what his recruitment and continued selection said about our list management and "cultural" standards.

His epic bump on Hoskin-Elliot on the King's Birthday will always be etched in my brain

i take it you don't think we'll pick riak andrew @WERRIDEE - because he won't make it on our list or because he's not eligible to join us?

We definitely won't pick up Andrew in the draft or rookie draft. He couldn't get a game for Casey this year when he was on the list. If he stays on the list who knows he might get a game as the 23rd man.

I put Melbourne players ahead of Casey players except the 23rd man has to be a Casey player but your guess on who it will be. We have 2 or 3 positions available with Pickett suspended that could go to Steele, Edwards or K.Windsor hopefully they could get some decent recruits because if they are the best 2 to 3 Casey players we are in for a long year.  

Casey

B: Howes, Adams, Draft pick

HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin

C: Billings, Laurie, Brown

HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan

F: Fullerton, Jefferson, Draft pick

FOLL: Campbell, Draft pick, Draft pick

IC: Verrall, Rookie B, Steele, Edwards, 23rd man K.Windsor if we don't have a rookie B player.

Kentfield has taken that spot

 


Happy when we got him for peanuts. Was handy in his first year though he took a lot away from rangers as they focussed on moving the ball along his wing, more often than not. 

Another spot to fill with a future champion :)

In case you haven’t realised Caleb The Duke Windsor has already replaced Lachie.

Although I would like Caleb to be played in the centre this year. He will straighten us up and be in the thick of centre bounces. 

Caleb has the potential to be another Chad Warner and I believe if in the middle he will add his running and scoring potential more through the middle. This would be another new dimension to our defence and attack connectivity. 

We can still recruit or choose another winger in the draft.

He sounds like an articulate fella whenever interviewed so I’m sure he’ll be alright.

Like any Dees player, wish him well in retirement and thank him for his efforts.

Given Bayley Fritsch, Judd McVee and Oscar McInerney all graduated via the Casey team  to AFL success. Future opportunities could present for others taking the Casey pathway. George Grey and Corey Ellison both former Casey alumni have been mentioned as potential AFL recruits. 

Roan Steele combines football flair with grit and determination, plus he has a whole ground game. Tyler Edwards has been consistent performer with good anticipation and clean football skills. Kai Windsor’s efforts exceeded expectations after the previous season’s surgeries.

 
All the best Lachie enjoy the golf and a glass of red.

Sorry Tarax, you can't claim Judd McVee as a Casey graduate like you have, he was a rookie draftee.

Perhaps Papley would fit your argument better.

Not really.. he played only 1 game for Casey and that was as a top up player when he was with the Gippsland Power back in 2015.

Agree with the rest though, Judd McVee is a Melbourne listed player and was drafted from East Fremantle, not. Casey..

True LFS he was rookie listed already, but was given the opportunity to display his talent at Casey throughput the ‘22 season.Thought he was the best performed of the uncapped listed players in the VFL GF that year. In conditions that may not suit a sandgroper. Princess Park surface was very heavy underfoot after some rain. The rest is history, a JT special.
 

Papely’s tenure at Casey must have been rather brief. l don’t recall seeing him on field. If another emerging player of his ilk surfaced from Casey and MFC manage to recruit him. Terrific!

I've never seen or heard so many supporters of a club so happy about one players retirement. Yeah he was slow but he wasn't the worst footballer paid to play at our Club. 


He was handy at times Lachie Hunter.

Was a bit of a pointless trade in someway. We should of been looking for younger players.

Sadly, Lachie's body wasn't up to it. I think he will go into coaching though. I wish him all the best and thank him for his contribution to the Melbourne Football Club.

With his off field  history I would have thought he was better suited to being a player manager!!

He was good in 23 we have had a lot more worse recruits.

  • 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 ‘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?
