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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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.
