Wonder if Adem would rookie Noah 😂

would be great if we signed him with Casey and gave him a few years development while in our program.

Then we would take him in the mid year or a future draft..

    Didn't see the point of re-signing Hore as a rookie. Petty and Turner can play back if the need arises, and we have ample key forwards on our list to replace them. Hore is 29 and had an injury interrupted season. Can't see any upside in the player we previously delisted.

    From what I saw of the Werribee finals, Henderson looks like a real talent, whilst Johnson didn't look AFL level.

    Our list management continues to be puzzling.

    I like Henderson but it could be that the reason he might be seen as better than Laurie or Billings (who both tear up vfl) is we haven’t seen him struggle at afl yet!

    We have an oversupply of talls but Melk, May and T Mc don’t have a lot left, Lever’s injury prone, Jeffo and Disco aren’t finished products and Fullarton seems out of the picture.

    Disco can’t go back if he’s the starting key forward! So Hore has a role as covering Lever as well as a back pocket option if Howes and AMW aren’t up to it and Juddy is used up the ground.

    It’s a list in flux. The priority was top end picks and mature talent to fill critical holes. If we cop injuries to the mids and flankers we will be in trouble again but the priority will be playing the 4 first round picks from the last 2 years in those spots anyway.

    Been big on Henderson since last year and was surprised when we took AJ over him with our last pick 

    Perhaps now a chance to reunite a couple of Bees!

    at least based on vfl performances, he would seem to be a more likely afl-level small forward than roy george

    be interesting to see whether henderson or culley is preferred at this stage

    The reason we took AJ was that we took two mids with our first two picks.

    Hendo and AJ were basically told of this scenario - that if a tall was taken, Hendo would get picked. Mid picked with 2nd pick, AJ taken.

    Let's hope we can convince him to join as he has obviously played in the Eagles' praccy...

    I have messaged him but he is giving me nothing!

    Just to add to this - he is making the decision today so you would think we will know which way he's gone by close of play today

    Surely not having the move interstate would be a selling point 👀

    Thanks for the intel though!

    Yep - that's what I thought. But when you think about it, probably easier to break into Eagles line-up/security going forward?

    He is a country boy so a move won't affect him, but certainly his life is here atm...
    Got my fingers and toes crossed!

    yea it’s easier to break into their side but then finish bottom 3.  Whereas if he can break into the dees side he could be playing on the g in September.

    • Demonland changed the title to Welcome to Demonland: Jack Henderson

    Didn’t really stand out against Richmond but can’t say I was watching him or the match that closely (or could even see in to the sun).

    At the end of the day the needs outweighed others potential ceilings. Kind of much like when AJ was chosen over Jack in November when making sure we had some tall forwards was the number 1 priority.

    I hope Culley sticks with us at Casey.

    I know so little about him… what are his best attributes and do you think he can step straight in ?

    I hope Culley sticks is out with us at Casey. I wonder if he could still be a mid-season draft possibility?

    culley was signed by casey for season 2025

    the only way he'll be leaving would, i assume, be if he gets a call up to an afl list

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
