I've had a lot to do with him - yes

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

    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

    AFL article notes West Coast (now) and Carlton still to fill spots...

    You’d expect that to be the case but if he decides he just wants to be playing local footy I doubt Casey can force him to play up a level. Similarly if he suddenly decides SANFL or WAFL are in his best interests would Casey block him? I’m not convinced state league contracts are rock solid. And it’s a hard rejection to bounce back from when at least if Jon Ralph is to be believed (and he shouldn’t really be) he was very close to the list spot.

    Fair to say Casey will be strong this year.

    Small forward/mid with good goal sense, smarts and tackling.

    Lacks stand out attributes to be a big difference maker but can come in and do a role from day 1 if he’s had a good summer VFL training at a high enough level.

    With Pickett’s suspension, Spargo still injured and Kolt injured there’s going to be opportunity.

    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!

    Great insight mate and thanks for sharing the information.

    has been training with West Coast so youd think his conditioning would be ok in terms of AFL level

    Welcome Jack. Per the SSP contenders thread he was my preference based on list need and ability to impact short and medium term. Is too good not to be given an AFL chance. Reminds me a lot of Kane Lambert in how he plays.

    I’ve got a little family connection to Jack as well so rapt to have him at the Dees.

    Fitness won’t be an issue, he’s an elite runner and has kept himself ticking over in the off-season.

    Club have earmarked that ANB high half forward spot as his role.

    I just watched the highlights reel and he reminded me straight away of Nibbler and his run down tackles and opportunistic goals. An important role to fill. All the best to Jack!

    Was Roy an option here?

    Can't recall seeing much of Hendo and what he brings.

    Roy is magic and just needs to get to AFL levels of fitness or close to it surely?  Is he still an option somehow?

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
