Very good player in his prime

Was a smart pickup in 2023 and gave us a genuine winger opposite Langdon, allowing Brayshaw to move back into the middle. This year age, injury and who knows what else got the better of him, but thank

I feel for him that he’s retiring on 199 games.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
