We have 3 senior spots and 2 rookie cat A/B. We could select 2 out of Yze, Andrew or Ricky Mentha

We didn't nominate Yze as a father son.

He really isn't that good.

 

His highlights look good… as always. Keen to get him as a Cat B rookie along with Mentha. Would be a great result for our academy and they would be two exciting players to watch develop at Casey.

Seems we’ll be taking Andrew ahead of Yze

 

Wouldn’t be relying on a late pick or rookie spot for this kid. Eureka if it somehow transpires otherwise fool’s gold.

Young Ooze looks a solid prospect but keep it hush.

Why? He's already been overlooked once


Club recruiters would be well aware of him given his brother’s ascendancy at the Suns. Appears to have rebounded solidly from the previous season’s adversity. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath on draft night 2.

Cal Twomey tweeted the list f/s & academy nominees a few days ago, Melb nominees were Andrew & Mentha (no Yze).

I saw the tweet but it didn't look complete since it left out some well known father son nominations such as the Camporeale twins at Carlton and Tyler Welsh at Adelaide.

Yze did play at Casey a couple of times so it is a matter of interest for the club's fans & it seems like a case of poor communications from the club again (unless there's something top secret going on :))

No it didn’t, just got to get to the 3rd image. We’ve never talked much about father sons and academy players pre draft, not sure the club is well served by coming out and announcing they don’t rate a player 

 

 

Just looked up dates 

FS noms for draft bidding were due on October 31

Fs rookie list noms due 22 nov

If young Yze looks like a rookie pick as opposed to draft ready - we won't know until 22 nov

So essentially - our position is that we’re not prepared to draft him onto the primary list but could consider doing so for the rookie list if he’s not drafted in the main draft.

Just noticed that Sam Marshall is Brisbane academy despite playing for Sandy Dragons. That seems a bit on the nose for me and contradicts the reasons for the academy.

Surely it is time to stop these interstate NGA advantages.

3 years at Melbourne Grammar. Played for Sandy Dragons. Even played for Vic Metro in under 16's until someone wised up and decided that would've looked horrendous if it continued in to under 18's. Genuine rort.

Interesting the article fails to mention he is an mfc NGA player and we can match a bid.

If they bid I reckon we will take him with pick 79.  Not exactly sure how the 'draft points system' works late in the draft.  I vaguely recall here is a time where the points less the 'discount' becomes zero or negative and a club can use their next available pick.  In our case 79 (or whatever it comes into).

No idea if this has changed since but when they bought the bidding system in:

the listing of F/S players and local Academy graduates is facilitated in later rounds because the discount rises steadily from 20% in Round 1 to 100% at pick 56 (if a player is bid from this point, a Nominating Club need only use their last pick in the draft to list the player).

The other question I have is whether we can go in to deficit to match a bid in the 3rd round. We might be willing/able to do that if he gets through to the start of the 3rd round which could be about pick 45. So from the 3rd round and especially from 56 he becomes an easier chance to get to us.

Or he might purely be a Cat B Rookie in the eyes of our recruiting team.

Thanks for the quote.  My memory isn't so bad!  I don't think it has changed as again iirc that is how we got Woewodin.

To your other question, we could go into deficit if a bid is in the 3rd round.  It might get tricky because the draft points 'deficit' comes off our first bid in 2025 (and it would be a very low figure).  Right now that is a 2025 second round bid but I don't know what happens if we were to trade in a first round pick in 2025. 

I think rather than go into deficit we would make a pick swap on draft night juggling our future picks to get the required points for Riak.

I might be wrong here, but I believe that the deficit gets taken from the round in which a player gets bid on.

I.e. a bid on Andrew in the 3rd round causing a deficit would result in our future 3rd pick being shifted back and wouldn't affect selections in other rounds. Not sure how the rule would apply if we didn't have a future 3rd though.

So his nickname will be ‘Prince’.  The younger brother no one really wants???

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
