What other games are on the set?

SIDELINED The former NBL basketballer spent most of the season sidelined by a hip injury incurred early in the season.

PEDO’S FAREWELL The AFL career of this tough workhorse who was tireless in the ruck in the absence of Max Gawn and Jake Spencer last year is over. He spent most of this year as a spare parts man at Casey and, as always, stood up when it counted. Was the team’s top goal kicker in 2018.

The first piece of the puzzle has been laid down.

COMEBACK Aaron vandenBerg came out of the wilderness late in the season to play in the finals after being forced out of the game for 18 months when stress fracture in his heel developed into Haglund's disease. The strong and aggressive midfielder displayed outstanding form on his comeback but may be forced to step away from the club due to family commitments in NSW.

THE BERN Bernie Vince, who announced his retirement effective at the end of season, has had a celebrated career at the club. He arrived from Adelaide when the team was almost down and out, raised the banner early when he took on and beat former teammate Patrick Dangerfield in Adelaide and continued to lift the club on its upward journey under Paul Roos and then Simon Goodwin. Played more than 100 games with both Adelaide and Melbourne and also won best and fairest awards at both clubs. A wonderful achievement!

NO HYPHEN? JKH mysteriously lost his hyphen or perhaps it was never there? Whatever the case, he did manage to get in a handful of games at AFL level and his contract was extended by another 12 months. Had his moments but not enough for best 22. Date of Birth: 21 March, 1995 Height: 173cm Weight: 75kg Games MFC 2018: 6 Career Total: 34 Goals MFC 2018: 1 Career Total: 12 CDFC Games 2018: 14 CDFC Goals 2018: 12 Votes 2018 Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy: 61 votes

Didn't we lose our fitness guru Rob Jackson earlier in the year when he left us for a job with the umpires?

FORWARD CLASS Tom McDonald led the competition’s most prolific attack with 53 goals after missing the opening five games with a foot problem. Always a difficult match up for defenders with his strong marking and the huge tank that gets him around the ground where he can also be damaging.

THE WEID Finally moved away from his earlier injury issues and inconsistent form to establish his place in Jesse Hogan’s absence late in the season. Weideman’s breakout game was a timely best-on-the-ground display against Geelong in the Elimination Final. Date of Birth: 26 June, 1997 Height: 195cm Weight: 94kg Games MFC 2018: 9 Career Total: 19 Goals MFC 2018: 9 Career Total: 15 CDFC Games 2018: 10 CDFC Goals 2018: 25 Votes 2018 Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy: 100 votes

Ditto but a tired and already lying down GC in Darwin would be good.

Please give us some easybeats and a bye after the Darwin one.

Will be interesting to see how the back 6 evolves with the addition of May (if it happens) and Lever returning. I think this can only help OMac develop more.

HOMESICKNESS TURNS FROM PURPLE TO BLUE The former Docker who returned here after injuries and homesickness restricted his stint in the West. Balic made a stellar return to his home state with six goals in Round 1 for Casey and showed promise for the future but he found that he had lost the passion and retired before the end of the season. It was a sad end to a career that promised so much before he was injured late in the TAC Cup season before he was drafted.

NO LONGER JUST THE KID BROTHER McDonald was one of the big improvers in defence and held some of the competition’s best key forwards down to miserly levels. Will only get better with more experience.

SPEED HUMP The pacy Demon’s career hit a speed hump this year as injuries and a loss of form dogged him throughout the season and kept him down to an inauspicious six games. Needs a big pre season to regain favour and MFC selection. Date of Birth: 3 April, 1995 Height: 187cm Weight: 87kg Games MFC 2018: 6 Career Total: 47 Goals MFC 2018: 0 Career Total: 10 CDFC Games 2018: 10 CDFC Goals 2018: 1 Votes 2018 Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy: 16 votes

Dees fans are never happy. Our MFCSS runs very deep. ?

Dockers playing hard ball on Neale. Assume they play just as hard with what they give up for Hogan.

Beautiful sight.
