The thing is Dazzle that as a club we now lack talls and this kid at 18 is already 206cm and 95 kg, he has played footy in the past so not a total novice and is originally from Vic. I also liked the way he handled himself body on body wise on the court. This could fill one of our long term issues, now let’s get a tough tall forward into our ranks. JT is on the move.!!

Or Faris Bueller.!!

The players you have picked look the goods MAH, however we now have a glut of 6’.0”’s, we have skill, pace, toughness, we were exposed for lack of height against the top 8 sides. I am hoping for some additional tough height , ie, 6’3””+ forward and 6’6” + forward /ruck to bring some balance to our group and use towards replacing BB and TMac longer term.😁

Agree with all above he has had an outstanding start to his career and played some excellent footy. It was fun counting off his consecutive wins just a shame it had to end on 17. I am looking forward to seeing him front up in 2023 after another pre-season under his belt playing in our best 23.!!

Another one of my favourite young guns that play the selfless role for the team. His stats went through the roof in 2022 and hopefully he can continue to expand his role within the team. Needs to nail those shots within 50 and continue to hurt the opposition and increase his midfield minutes. Tom could be our JV replacement when JV gives it away.!!

We received emails today which are simple to follow showing how to select the President as your Proxy and whether you agree or disagree with the changes. Took all of two minutes to complete.❤️💙🤘

I agree with you SWUL I thought that the recognition of the 23 sat pretty easy with me but is it divisive , the playing 23 Vs whole list of 42-43 players is it a Premiership Ring or Participation award. Those of you who played at a higher level how do you feel about the decision?? As an aside I don’t think that we should pot a Premiership player that chose to leave.!!

He is such a great lockdown player, very focused and rarely beaten, he surprised me this year just how good he still is. Michael Hibberd deserves another year based on form and to help mentor a suitable replacement.!!

Heartily agree ElDiablo14 a Premiership defender that just keeps getting better has a huge tank and big enough to match with the Key Forwards, could also go forward but why weaken our Premiership backline. Harrison is developing into that star defender that every one envies.!!

30 very valuable goals from BBB but he was really beat up by the end of year, can he get back on the park, needs help if he does, we have to go hard for another key forward to either help or replace Ben and we need to do it this draft period. Good luck Ben.!!

What a year for Jake “ the Fist” Melksham hit a purple patch late in the season in the ones and then played an absolute ripper in the Granny for Casey. Although he will turn 32 next year he absolutely deserves the extra year at MFC. Good one Jake.!!

There is always a strong attachment to a father son player especially when his name is Woewodin. Shane has left such an indelible memory on MFC supporters that we already had a strong desire for his son to succeed at MFC. So the club needs to give Taj every opportunity to get him to where we need him to be a 200 game AFL player. Comeon Taj help us make it up to Shane.!!!

Blake has the height, pace and kicking skills to play wing outside mid or high half forward, is he a good mark? Standing at 6’3” adds another string to his bow but he will need to put on some extra muscle and continue to build stamina and resilience to survive at AFL level. A big pre-season and a good year at Casey should buy Blake the necessary time to get his body right for a senior call up.!!

AMW has a great raft of skills with speed, agility and kicking standing out, he is a good size at 6’.0”. Could Andy be that lockdown defender that we are struggling to find or an outside mid with pace with great disposal skill? We have a couple of openings Andy feel free to seize your opportunities young man. Like the look of this kid.!!

Looking forward to seeing Kade gain regular game time in 2023, hopefully he is rotated off the bench through forward and midfield. There is no need to continue to play players that are out of form or hampered by injury. We need to see what we have and if some of the regulars have to play at Casey so be it.!!

Daniel Turner was a great pickup for us and like everyone on DL I can see nothing but upside for this budding defender. He is a good size but needs to bulk up a bit 6-8 kegs, I feel that he has a bit of flair and a bit of mongrel as well, key ingredients for a good defender.!!

He could be very important to our long term forward structure and he showed that he is quite at home holding down A key role in defence in his draft year as well. Currently between Neita and Schwartz in size, I, like most on DL feel that this kid is Special. Lock him in MFC.!!!

I am not concerned with JJ old55 he has developed many strings to his bow just think of JJ as Mr versatile, like Gus this year he will plug holes wherever needed. He is a good height, has good skill set and great attitude.!!

I hear you Neverodd………. You can call the opposition whatever but once they pull on the Red and Blue they are ours, they may not be world beaters but they can be valuable to the overall team performance, you have to give people a chance to perform and our club and footy department the chance to iron the wrinkles out and restore confidence in their own ability, who knows what is possible??

Sam Weideman another young man with plenty of class who acknowledged our club in glowing terms, helps explain why he was loved so much by his teammates, he sounds as disappointed that he didn’t quite make it as we are. Good luck Sam.!!

Thanks LH I have been scanning the pages looking for something that LJ wrote acknowledging his time at MFC his teammates, coaches, fitness staff, boot studders, haven’t been able to find anything not even an acknowledgement of the kind words spoken by Kate Roffe. Jeezuz Luke where’s the manners young man I am Sure that the Brayshaws and personal sponsors would be disappointed, hell I am disappointed and I don’t even know you. That is my final word on LJ.

19 games at Casey is a fair effort in his first Rookie year. Hopefully grows a couple more cm’s and puts on 10 kg during the pre- season with a name like Judd and being a great kid would love to see him as a long term player for us.!!

Thanks Sam, good luck at the Bombers but not against us thanks. Still a bit mystified at what could have been.!!

Luke had a great year at Casey and had a big impact in the Casey GF, hopefully Luke will get more game time next year. We really must reward effort and he will be fitter and tougher next year.!!

TMac VIP he has bucked the rule and gotten better with age, hope you get that foot right TMac you are so critical to our mighty Dees.!!
