Bit late in the season if you ask me

There's 4 games left, more than enough time for him to impress if he's good enough. For most of the VFL season he's looked average.

There’s simply no pleasing some people.

How about we all get behind Jai and hold off on the nasty [censored] for five minutes

Well there you go, Simon finally caved into debuting a player after Harvey and Lindsay this year.

How about Big Kent?

Exactly, he's only run into a bit of form lately...

We've debuted Henderson, AJ, Jefferson, Langford, Lindsay and now Culley.

Fullarton also made his debut for the club, as has Sharp.

I think Sestan would have debuted if not for his injuries later in the season. He has traits that we are missing.

IMO Adams needs to debut before the end of the year, but we have 3 very difficult games to end off the year so it seems doubtful.

May will be back versus the Hawks, and who knows if Lever will play again this year (he shouldn't IMO).

Kentfield is coming from a long way back with his fitness. I reckon he needs a good pre-season under his belt, and he is odds on to debut early in 2026.

Forgot about Jeffo is should have clarified my rant a bit better, players drafted onto our list as a 18 y.o.

The others are not straight from the draft they a mature aged recruits VFL/AFL players Hendo,AJ, Sharp and Fullerton.

How many after mid year when out of finals contention?

Answer = 1

Kinda special that Jai’s a Demons supporter and always has been ❤️💙

Sparrow out?

Sparrow doesn't play midfield anymore.

My guess is Lindsay might be given a break. He had 0 touches in the last quarter last week. He seems to be running out of steam, which is no knock on him. First year player who missed a lot of pre-season with a knee injury.

Culley is 23 at his second club with 20 games at the level, so still doesnt meet ya criteria

if it was up to Big Kent he would’ve debuted months ago 😂 He’s champing at the bit.

Hows his form been at VFL?

And how many have put together AFL level form in the VFL?

Answer = 0.

Adams is closest but he doesn't consistently intercept or insert himself in to play. There's time for him to earn a debut this year still but no rush to just give it to him when he needs to go up another gear to show he's really ready.

Sestan got close, got injured.

Mentha has some traits but isn't consistently impacting, no need to rush him. Kentfield has great traits, spent him summer in hospital, goes in and out of games as you'd expect from a teenager with no endurance base. Verrall isn't even a number 1 ruck at Casey yet, which is fine for a 21 year old.

The video of the selection on MFC site is worth a look, Goody set it up well and Langdon finished it off Go Boys Go Dees Good Luck Jai

I reckon that's so important...they're got to really want it.

Yes, could be

Is this to get more people in?

Poor guy debuting at marvel in front of a few thousand

I hope goody starts him & doesn't make him sub

Which Casey games have you been watching?His form never warranted it until a few weeks ago
