Congratulations to Paddy and good luck to him. Clearly not a like for like for Steven May more a replacement for a McAdam / Melksham. Just goes to show the more attacking mindset and philosophy of the new coach which is refreshing for both players and supporters.

    The last electrician country boy we signed via Casey Demons worked out pretty well with 6 goals in the GF so have a good feeling about this one too! Welcome Paddy

    Plays like Will Hayward. Medium forward who is strong overhead and a good kick.

    Not sure.

    But I know they've got their April/Easter photo for the MFC calendar sorted - a picture of an oiled up Paddy flexing his biceps.

    The tag line will read:

    Hot Cross Guns!

    so given we have to have min 36 on primary list and we had max number of rookies, how do we fit Paddy in?

    judging by his photos his got a bit of gym work to do before he can join Jack Viney, Kozzie Pickett and Brodie Mihocek in the Gun Club

    Awesome news! Paddy’s the eldest of five boys. I was talking with his mum at the North praccy and she said they were all hoping like hell he’d get on the seniors list, and he has!

    Also great news that it’s not an ACL for Luker!

    Jamie Elliott with a few extra cm in height and a few hundred less AFL goals.

    Kick mark forward is his bread and butter but has rotated on to a wing at Casey and hopefully can play more half forward too.

    Happy to be proven wrong but I don’t think that’s an issue after the list lodgements after the draft.

    Senior list player goes on the Inactive List, you get an extra rookie spot regardless of the main/rookie split.

    26 goals in 29 Casey games (and reasonably accurate: 14 behinds)

    And 22 of the goals came in the last 14 games (with improved accuracy: 8 behinds)

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
