Losing Mitch White and Roan Steele a year after losing Jimmy Munro and George Grey, and even Jack Hutchins before that, makes a huge difference to the experience and composure provided by the VFL listed players.

Who's going to even be captain next year? There are no ideal candidates that I can see.

For reference, here's our Grand Final winning side:

What happened to that guy George who some thought might be a smoky draft choice for us who played a couple of games this year.

Back up in Darwin playing the season for Southern Districts once again.

Side is stacked with ex AFL/VFL/SANFL/WAFL players

Jed Anderson, Steven Motlop, Jarred Brander, Matt Dennis

in 2025, at least 11 will still be on afl lists, and it was 14 in 2024, with at least seven i would consider 'best squad' for the teams that they were on

pretty impressive development and use of the alliance, i would've thought

Edited by whatwhat say what

Of the 2022 team, 5/6 Casey listed premiership players are gone from the club, and 3/4 Casey listed emergencies are gone.  Only Valentine and Bell remain and they hardly played in ‘24.  


The lights at Frankston have enabled  night games for TV coverage and extra revenue.  So they've gone from cellar dwellers to destination club.

Bottom 4 club next year who wants to come to a snake infested, shizzen area in Cranbourne??

 

Boy that’s a gloomy picture but realistically our Casey VFL needs a good shake up, we got nothing out of our two star mids that failed to play a game for us this year due to injury. We need to go after more of the kids that miss the draft but are desperate for that extra opportunity, we will miss Mitch.

We have to start poaching players from the VFL like Frankston have done we only need to get 3 or 4 and we will be set.

There's your answer. Deakyn probably captain. Good get, should provide a lot of leadership off half back.

If Casey is half serious about being an actual club, then need to get attract players like Jai Culley if he’s not put on an AFL list by another club.  Definitely has AFL quality still and would command a game every week despite AFL listed players.  

as being reported …

comings and goings for Casey

(added) Casey Demons have regained their 2023 best and fairest Deakyn Smith, who joined North Melbourne VFL this year.

(Departed)

Ryan Valentine has joined Coburg Lions

Roan Steele (runner-up in the best and fairest this year) has joined West Perth WAFL.

Casey best & fairest and captain Mitch White has left and joined Rosebud


Other notable VFL changes 

Williamstown tall forward Corey Ellison (ex Casey) is moving to Frankston 

Werribee’s Kye Declase is expected to move to Box Hill Hawks

North Melbourne small forward Sam Lowson is heading to Southport

North will also have to replace Jack Watkins, who will train with AFL club Port Adelaide and try to win an SSP rookie-listing. Watkins won his successive John Law Medal as the Kangaroos’ VFL best and fairest, averaging 24.9 possessions

Frankston has brought in Sandringham co-captain and key midfielder Darby Hipwell, who won the Zebras’ best and fairest in 2023.

Port Melbourne is keen on delisted Western Bulldogs small forward Charlie Clarke. 


Former Dandenong Stingray Kade De La Rue has left North Melbourne VFL and will join Frankston.

And yet Frankston and Casey grounds are about the same travel time as each other from the city, and Casey has much better facilities for players including extra grounds to train on and an indoor kicking area.

Yeah but Frankston will pay about ten Bucks a game Casey about $9.50

Jack Bell has committed to Old Haileybury in VAFA 2025 A grade for next year as a full-time player. Not sure if Casey offerred him another year or if he said “I’m out”.  He was good in 2022 and 2023 with 30 games across the 2 years. But only 5 games in 2024 and used in limited minutes only.
 
Farewell #73.

And if he only had limited time in 2024, then it wouldn’t have been any better for him in 2025 with Tom Campbell on the MFC list.

Another departure from the Casey ship.  Mitch Szybkowski is leaving Casey and will join the GWS VFL program in 2025.  He showed promise in his 12 games for Casey Demons in 2024. 

Another player to leave …

Thanks @Wilson7!

One good sign is the fact that two of Casey’s “big name” recruits who were injured early in the season — Leo Connolly and Campbell Hustwaite — remain on the list. It would be a bonus if they were actually retained because Casey badly needs some experienced playing depth to be competitive in 2025.

They've both left the club.

Both returned to local level full time.

  • 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?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
