I still reckon David Neitz was certainly the beat I've seen in my time. For a club that went through so much off field turmoil his ability to galvanise the playing group and achieve what we did with little to zero assistance from the AFL, no training facilities and a coach that was always under internal scrutiny. I also loved how Neitz was such a fierce presence on the field and was the first to run in and stick up for teammates at all times. Him and the Ox were very similar in this approach. Any defender that sat in the hole would cop an absolute knee from a charging David Neitz and you could tell that would lift his teammates. Some would say that before that Garry Lyon was one of the best Melbourne Captain we've had since the 60's also.

No goal in nearly 3 quarters of footy in perfect conditions? Oh dear...

👍

For people having a sook about Eddie McGuire, it was the Barrasi family that actually specifically requested Eddie to MC the event as he is a very close friend of Ron and the family. Regardless of what you think of Ed, respect his family wishes in all of this. It was indeed a beautiful service.

I thought it was a harsh decision to delist Hore at the start. He's been in absolutely terrific form at VFL and his numbers are through the roof. In saying that, I would have thought a mature age ruckman would be the biggest need ahead of another half back flanker/tall defender. I hope Will Varrell is ready next year.

And Watson

Casey have also recruited ex St Kilda Leo Connelly who was delisted this year. Played 7 games at elite level all back in 2021. Played all year in the VFL for Sandy and averaged 19 disposals playing as a half back/midfield.

Few moves happening. Unfortunately we've lost George Grey who's been a solid contributor for the last number of years. He's off to Frankston. Talented junior prospect who was incredibly unlucky to miss out in last year's AFL draft is joining Casey from Frankston. Was in the AFL Academy and played at Dandenong Stingrays as a big bodied midfielder.

Loved Jack. I backed the club in trading him out the year as I believe it was best for both clubs and turns out it's been a massive win for us. As other have said, had he been drafted 3 years back he'd be a weapon because he's exactly the kind of player we're lacking across half forward with his ball use and polish inside 50. Also, he kicked some serious clutch goals in big games mind you. For a guy that was perceived as soft he could certainly play in the big games.

No one has said that... but cool...

Lol.. you of all people were jumping up and down and screaming at the media around the treatment of Angus Brayshaw and then the culture crisis with Oliver etc the past couple of months. And now you're okay if Max feeds into the media? You're funny one in a confusing way... pick which side of the fence you want to sit on. The wider public would respect Max even more if he politely declined an interview with the media grubs especially the way they've conducted themselves of recent.

Maybe a simple polite decline to be interviewed? Who would have thought hey slart? Half surprised you couldn't think of that all up by yourself. We've copped enough [censored] from the media this year so we owe them nothing. Player's aren't forced to give interviews and nor should we oblige too.

I think GWS really like Leake from the reports I've read and he's certainly in contention according to their list manager.

Enjoy the races, ignore the media and don't give them the time of the day. Simple.

I reckon even if he was available, our preference would be Duursma.

Okay Max. Less words and more actions thanks. We've been hearing too much words for the past two years.

No, you are.

From Fox Footy Melbourne (Pick 6) and Geelong (Pick 8) will also consider Curtin should he slip to the latter stages of the top 10. But both clubs are also keen on Sanders.

He's more ANB then Hibberd..

Think you're completely missing his point here.

That's not how it works.. He didn't attend because he missed his flight.

Heard he's a massive flight risk.

Adelaide are the club showing most interest to Darcy Wilson and could grab him at pick 10.
