After two years on the Eagles AFL list, Coby Burgiel was delisted. He was drafted pick 29 in 2022 draft.

An excellent example of a player who deserves a second chance in a premium competition.

If only we had one

The current system is a disgrace. Too many byes / too few games. Gives players trying to step up to senior team fewer chances to improve/ show their talents. Senior players trying to return from injury sometimes sit on the side lines for weeks without a game to play. It's now a quasi national competition that's called the VFL.

How does the Casey training system work both pre season and in season.   At some point do they take say 12 melbourne players who are obviously not in line for senior selection and train one day a week with the casey players.   Can't imagine a Casey team could gel without some kind of joint training.   Or do they just invite 6 -10 Casey players to Melbourne training one day a week.

After two years on the Eagles AFL list, Coby Burgiel was delisted. He was drafted pick 29 in 2022 draft. He was injured in his first year at the Eagles and never got back to full fitness until mid 2024. He showed himself to be a quick skilled running type of player in his junior days   Certainly one player for Casey to have a phone call with. Draft bio was 

DOB: 9/9/2004

Height: 183cm

Weight: 76kg

Position: Midfielder/forward

Recruited from: Gippsland Power/Vic Country

The speedy and versatile Gippsland Power product enjoyed a breakout season at NAB League and national under-18s level, where he averaged almost 22 disposals and kicked 12 goals from nine appearances. Capable of playing as a small forward, high half-forward, through midfield or on a wing, Burgiel ticks plenty of boxes and his raw pace saw him run the third-fastest 20m sprint time at the AFL Draft Combine (2.88 seconds).

I think I read that Burgiel is training on with WC in the hopes of getting another shot with the Eagles.

Casey needs to get Jai Culley.  He is the priority to rebuild quality in Casey supplemental listings and gives him the chance to showcase himself for another shot at getting back onto an AFL list.  

You might get your wish.

I think Casey should look to add Max Donohue, midfielder. Runner up in Gippsland Power B&F this year.  Leongatha lad who impressed through the 4 power games I saw.  

Good news. It sounds like Jai Culley is to sign on with Casey VFL.  Would help rebuild Casey stock of quality players.  Definitely has the size, skill , contested footy strength to be in AFL system. Perhaps the knock is for him to improve in pace.

    TRAINING: Friday 6th December 2024

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th December 2024

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
