    I think you'll find also that Stafford and Gawn will educate Pruess on pushing back into our defense and giving then a chop out. This is what Gawn such a dangerous weapon this year. Pruess contested marking is right up there with Gawns, and i feel with a bit of confidence we'll start to see him clunk some good marks around the ground. Wouldn't hurt also to start big Pruessy in the goal square from time to time. Absolute monster of a bloke!

    The one thing i got out of that articke in Brayden Pruess is already challanging Max Gawn. Since his recruitment, I'm a big believer that we definitely can play 2 ruckman in our side. I would like to see Gawn spend more time up forward to really stretch opposition backs like WC did to us in the prelim and Grand Final against Collingwood. Gawn, McDonald and Weideman has the potential to really throw sides out of wack.
  4. Whos he having a hit for Samael?

    Hang on.. you said Campbell beat Pruess outright in the ruck, and yet you were proven wrong.. You should stop while you are ahead.
  6. I highly doubt also he'll get thrown straight into main rucking role at Casey. All hes doing with Stafford is just working and getting a great deal of education on his ruck craft. He'll play majority of next year up forward with spurts in the ruck as a reliever. He's still very slight and needs to put on a fair bit of weight, so give it 2-3 years and he could def take over as the number 1 ruck at Casey, and few games in the seniors for the dees.

  10. Still reckon we'll take a tall hopefully in Hayde n Mclean who was incredibly stiff to miss out. Even a mature age midfielder like a Jye Bolton or Mitch Grigg would be handy in case a Viney or Oliver goes down.
  11. Corey Wagner also make his official debut as a MFC player.
  12. Aaanywho.. back on topic. Its a pity I've moved back up bush, some of those training days i attended around finals time were a fantastic experience. I'm now keen to keep a close eye on Kade Chandler and Tom Sparrow. Just a quick one. James Jordan is from my way ( Yarrawonga ) and played a couple of senior football matches with some of my mates still playing there. Have heard nothing but glowing reports on him. Fantastic kid who works extremely hard and has enormous upside. Was also cut by Sandringham Dragons, but just kept plugging away and working hard. Reminds me of when Clayton Oliver was coming through the ranks.... The fact that he's already played senior footy for the strong Ovens and Murray league will only hold his development in good stead. Me personally, i think next year will be a development year for him. Spend most next year learning his craft at Casey around midfield and half back. I think he'll develop similar to James Harmes, where give it 60 to 70 games and he'll become a very handy player.
  13. Great report Dr D. Appreciate it. Interesting on Chandler, same height as Spargo but has a pretty big leap and is quick. With his tackling pressure, he could surprise during the pre season. Him and Spargo could form a nice little duo.
  14. Apparently the young recruits were put through a pretty gruelling running session?
  15. Forgot about Bedford.. good point.
  16. Ohh so its their fault that he couldn't get a kick...right..
  17. Offensive to who exactly?
  18. I've been a big Jeffy fan, but i agree, that GF performance was atrocious! When we needed senior heads to stand up he was MIA. He's actually lucky he's still on the list. Has a big challange ahead of him next year if Spargo development goes to another level.
  19. Where was he grand final day? Most important game of the year and didn't show up at all. Barely touched the ball from a bloke thats played over 170 games of AFL experience. And i would like to think that someone hes age would be already putting in "extras".. especially when he's career is at the crossroads.
  20. Give the man a 5 year deal. Hes is building a serious dynasty where players actually enjoy playing under him and wanting to play under him! His development and relationship building with players is right up there with the best in the competition when it comed to player coach relationship.

    Dal Santo being captain obvious..
  22. I'll dare to dream, but i see Weideman career unfolding a bit like Josh Kennedy from WC. A one touch grab who'll be hard to stop sa times because of how good his out reach marking ability is.
  23. When you say "we" who exactly are you talking about?
