Awesome to hear Dec has 2 goals already thanks KC

Unfortunately I am working tomorrow and will miss this game, if the watches could keep a close eye on Keilty for me it'll be very much appreciated

Apparently because it’s only a practice match they can’t play at Kardinia so they chose Werribee instead

Half back that also goes into the midfield

Lockhart is a seriously good player. Plays very well both on the inside and out with good speed and superb skills. I didn’t really notice him for Casey on the weekend but he must have played inside most of the day and it’s hard to tell watching live who is doing well in there. Some of his games last year were pretty incredible so I’m expecting a lot from him. Good luck Jay.

Cornes is more biased towards his Former club then any other media personality so take this with a grain of salt

Yesssss boys awesome stuff. I said during the draft period I was really surprised Jay didn’t get picked up as a rookie. Some of the games he played for Casey last season were unreal. Handy pick up for sure and I’m super glad he gets a run at the big time.

Some good info here- http://sanfl.com.au/news/2018/09/16/nietschke-wins-u18-torrens-uni-mvp/ Seems to be a high possession getting halfback/winger.

Keilty will get a chance up forward tho to see if he can squeeze his way in.

Damn straight.

I think an important thing to know that many people don't, is that Hogan and Fyfe are super close mates.

Selwood played that up SOOOO much, Jack didnt get anywhere near his head and they got a free for High contact. Amazing follow up with Viney laying the tackle then eventually the Jonesy goal.

CARN THE [censored] DESS YYEEWW!! IFM ANYONE IS DRUNKER AND HAPPIER THEN I AM I CHALENNEGE YOU COZ WHAT A GOD DAMN WIN!!!!!!

I have been been telling youse for 2 years.... Weideman is an absolute star, his VFL games have been insane and Key Position players take a few years to develop well....He will be a key player for many years to come, im drunk as hell but what a fan[censored]tasticgame by Sammy!!!! Carn the Deees!!!!!

Not anymore actually, that got changed a couple of years ago. You can have any number of Rookies kept on for a third year.

Just to put Dec's year into perspective (and maybe to try and convince myself he'll get another contract) I've gone through the BOG for the VFL the last couple of months and here is where Keilty got- (Before Round 8 he was pretty quiet so I'll start from there) RD8 1st RD9 - RD10 6th RD11 Bye RD12 Injured (Concussion) RD13 1st RD14 - RD15 - RD16 4th RD17 Bye RD18 5th RD19 4th RD20 3rd I know I'm biased but someone in the AFL team getting in the best's in 7 out of 10 of his games would surely be holding his spot.... Let's just hope he gets at least 1 more year and a chance to Debut.

So I thought given I have some time at work I'd do a little update on Dec. After a slow start to the year due to some injuries, after a strong pre-season, Keilty has been in some decent form in the last 2-3 months. I think he's close to getting his debut but given the importance of the upcoming games he'll probably miss out again. Maybe if they choose to rest an OMac or someone for the Suns game he could come in but I don't know how the coaches are looking at him. The knock on Keilty's game is he isn't a huge possession getter, but the majority of his touches are more often then not important. For example; on the weekend vs Footscray, in the last quarter we had just kicked a behind and the Dog's bombed it out from full back straight up the guts using the wind where it nearly reached half way. Keilty was in a 2v1 and stood up in front and pulled down a massive grab that even the Footscray supporters were cheering. If he hadn't won the contest there was a good chance the dogs could've used the massive bomb to get over the back which would have put them within 8 points in the last quarter, so I thought it was a big moment to help Casey win the game. My personal worry is if he doesn't manage to crack into the team this season, given he was a late rookie pick, and even though he is playing good football and is still improving each game, he might find himself without a job at the end of the year, but I hope and wish the club give him his 3rd and final year on the Rookie list to give him the best chance to show he can be a good player for this great club..... but we will have to wait and see.

Congratulations to Petts on his debut this week, a fairly high draft pick who looks like he will build into a great KPD. Hope he tears it up.

Yeah he is too old unfortunately

Not to turn this into a p***ing contest but pretty sure I was talking him up since the start of last season

Now that's a great photo

http://afl.com.au/news/2017-11-24/2017-afl-draft-who-did-the-demons-pick-up Ive already talked Fritsch up a lot but I'll let his footy do the talking from now on. So happy we grabbed him 1 pick before WCE could. Literally yelled when we saw he was picked up by the MFC. Can't wait to see Bull, Keilty and Fritsch all playing in the Seniors together next year

Yeah for sure a couple years in the system and he should bulk up well Bull, Dec and now Fritta, 3 Casey boys, Dec is over the moon

I was close
