On the Dees app, Henderson is listed at number 43 👍🏼

Love to hear it. No point risking the guys said who are missing out against North in that weather. Save em. Protect the older bodies/ guys with injury clouds. No doubt the majority if not all will be on the plane to play freo next week as well👍🏼

Imagine May wouldn’t play either considering he played in the Indigenous game and we fly back to Perth next week to play Freo. + Viney has been on modified training so it would make sense that they give him another week rather than playing him in match sim against North.

Looks like with all the said absentees of tomorrows match there won’t be any players left to play for Casey in their practice match 😂

Will just be like a normal match day. I imagine Casey players and our players who aren’t picked for the first team will have their captains run following the firsts? (If the VFL practice match (North v Casey) is still going ahead tomorrow with the weather.

Marc McGowan from the age confirmed it at the time of the trade too actually. Good on him. Good security.

Harry Sharp also signed on a 3 year contract 👍🏼

Aidan Johnson and Henderson were the two they were talking about. Henderson would’ve been picked at our last selection if we got a tall (Tauru) instead of one of Langford/Lindsay. But they went with Johnson because they selected the two mids first up. Worked out in the end👍🏼

Any player placed on the inactive list means they will be out for at least the whole season. They can’t be taken off it until the following year which means they’re marked ineligible to play at any level until the next season.

Henderson goes onto the rookie list - not the main/senior list or cat b list. We still have a cat b selection in which we can sign someone who fits the criteria at any time.

I wouldn’t be opposed to any of those 3 and in previous posts I have mentioned all 3 as options I would love to see considered or given a go. However the club seem to be persisting with Laurie as a midfielder, Bowey as a half back/small defender and Brown as a wing/half forward. (Which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me given our lack of options).

Plenty of small forwards? Where? Other than Kozzy there isn’t a lot. Chandler doesn’t hit the scoreboard enough. Spargo is always injured and was never a big goal kicker. We drafted Langford to do the mid/forward role you’re talking about.

Don’t even think the LTI exists anymore. The inactive list is the mechanism which rules out whoever you put on there for the whole season.

If not us, someone else will get Culley. Very little doubt from anyone and most clubs that he’ll end up on an AFL list again one way or another. Ox talked him up this morning on SEN WA about how dominant he’s been at training this preseason taking it up to our ‘A grade’ mids.

Windsor and Chandler will be fine for Round 1.

🤝🤝🤝

Lucky we can still convince a player to sign on😂 Would love to see him against North👌

Escalated quickly. Hopefully we see him suit up against North on Saturday.

The cut off date for SSP is Friday afternoon (21st)

It’s mystifying to me why Brown hasn’t been injected into the forward line as a pressure small forward considering all our options already on the wing/half forward.

Turns out that hasn’t stopped Melbourne from asking Hendersons management about his situation over the weekend. One to watch.

Both are signed to play with Casey for this season whatever happens. ( of course without discounting either getting picked up in the mid season draft )

George has done some flashy things And I actually like what I’ve seen but in no way has he impressed enough consistently to be handed a contract purely because we lack a small forward. I think we absolutely need one but also don’t think that necessarily means Roy. Based on talent and merit throughout preseason, Culley gets the contract. *if Melbourne choose to use the pick*
