NOTHING PETTY ABOUT THIS BLOKE A key defender with great potential, Petty had one game at AFL level against St Kilda but clearly wasn’t ready at the time. He went back to Casey where he showed some linear improvement so despite the disappointing start to his career, we expect bigger and better things for him with a full pre season behind him.

ROYAL RUMBLED The big ruckman from the Murray Bushrangers suffered an ACL in his first season at the club and showed a few glimpses of form at Casey in his return but he failed to show out through much of 2018 and has been delisted.

GINGER NINJA The young redhead from Queensland has pace and a bit of presence and was probably not too far off AFL selection before he tore a hammy playing at Casey in the latter part of the season.

SEASON TO FORGET Jeff had a strong start to the season with a match-winning five goal performance in Round 2 against Brisbane but things went downhill from there. He was in and out of the side for most of the season and some of his later games - even at Casey - were very forgettable. He needs to lift if he is to remain in the AFL scene beyond next year.

STILL CUTTING HIS TEETH Last year, Johnstone spent his time cutting his teeth at Casey as a small forward but this year he was tried in defence and showed some good signs at times.

THE RAGING BULL Tim Smith has worked hard to establish a place on the club's main list and is a more than handy depth player. He had a handful of senior games in mid season but didn’t quite do enough to establish a place in the Melbourne side, returning to Casey in the last half of the year where he shouldered the ruck duties and played forward.

It really comes down to what we give up to get him.

I would imagine these clean ups are not unique to the Dees.

Gary stating the obvious.

NIFTY NEV Neville Jetta is as solid a defender as he is a citizen. He had another consistent season terrorising opposition forwards, many of them taller than him, and was once again very unlucky not to gain All Australian honours.

IT JUST WASN'T CRICKET The former Australian Under 19 cricket captain took more than a season and a half to recover from a debilitating hamstring injury but his form on return couldn’t save him a spot on the list.

NOT ENOUGH MUSIC TO THE EARS Josh Wagner had a solid start to the year taking part in the first five games but he fell out of favour with the selectors and spent the rest of the season playing mainly in defence at Casey.
