Bill has a few tricks in his bag but hasn't put them all on display on the big stage. Confidence is something he needs to build at Casey and then carry into the senior team.

Pound for pound the hardest player in the AFL. His career is now sitting in the club Legend tier. I look forward to telling my grandkids one all about him.

Agreed. Did you hear the line about Kozzie? "He's been good the last 2 weeks after a quiet game against Sydney" He clearly didn't remember Kozzie was suspended for the Sydney clash. The rest of the commentary team fell silent after that line

Matthew Jefferson is also nicknamed 'the magician'. Tom Fullarton's nickname at the Lions was 'fullcream' however I have no confirmation that it has carried over to the dees .

As I sat in the members I reflected on two of the moves made off-season. Harmsey going to the dogs and Jibba joining the dees. The emotion of losing a premiership player was hard to swallow, but the move was right for both parties. Billings was almost written off, and a bit of a risk for the dees. Today's game showed the FD's vision, and if Billings can maintain form and fitness he may be the recruit of the year.

Assuming picks stay as they are, and Curtain fell to us at our first pick, would WC offer a future first round pick for him and would we take it? WC will be bottom 4 next year you would think.

Does anyone know if contracts can be restructured after signing to be front ended? If we don't make a move this year for a player, we have dead cap space that is not being utilised in 2024. Could existing deals be reworked to fill in the cap void in 2024 to free up space the following year(s)?

I'll back JT to find us a better option at the back end of the draft. O'Brien might find a home, but odds are against him carving out a permanent role anywhere.

One of my modern favorites. I can only wish him all the best at the kennel. He'll always be a demon in my eyes.

I'll always love these two players for winning us a flag. RE: list management, both contracts were educated decisions. If tmac and brown don't get hurt in 2022, we could have won that flag. If they were fit and firing for this year, we could have won it . Injuries are a part of the game, and we have been extremely unlucky inside forward 50. Sadly I agree with most posters that these two guys probably aren't going to contribute in 2024, the injuries have taken a toll. They won't retire, and will be a part of the 2024 season. I can't see either player making a comeback and dominating, but they may feature again in the 1s as depth selections.

He came to us when many other players spurned our advances, and was rewarded with a premiership for his faith! Not only could he see the vision Melbourne had, he was an instrumental part in making it come to fruition. Thank you Hibbo!

I feel like the sun's are going to have a tough time getting the "right price" for a top 10 pick after giving away a top 10 pick in Bowes and a first rounder for a half eaten dim sim last year. I'd the suns hold him another year and he doesn't crack the team, he's going to cost as almost nothing at the trade table. He could be on the move for less than the right price.

I'd put my faith in the football department drafting a quality mid rather than forking out for Parish.

I recall all the negative media about Melbourne over paying for him at the trade table. Here we are 100 games later with a premiership defender and potential future captain.

They won't make the 8 and will need to say goodbye to a number of best 22 vets this year and next. They don't have the cattle to come in and replace them. They are done.
