It will be interesting to see him develop compared to Travaglia who brings a similar skill set but is probably a bit tougher defensively

People have been crying out for a pick like this. The last 2 years we've taken punts on blokes like Schace, Fullarton and McAdam. Blokes with all the talent and no real grit. Reminds of Brody Miochek, good luck Aidan, hope he makes the most of the opportunity.

Herald sun so i cant see the rest but the article summary is: Gippsland star out to prove a point in VFL return Recruiting has started to hot up around the VFL with Riley Baldi returning to Casey, while former Cats and Power forward Francis Evans has joined Carlton Codesports.com.au | Subscribe to Code Sports for exclusive stories

Smith at 5 and Allan at 9.

Disposal efficiency is not a good measure of effective kicking. It is a measure which is too easily skewed by clearances, kick-ins etc. A half back that kicks side ways would have very high DE% but minimal damage i.e., Salem A clearance midfielder that can be highly damaging with ball in hand may have a middling DE% i.e., Bont Meters gained in the back half, and score involvements in the forward half are the best metrics for effective ball use IMO

Can see him becoming the Hawkins style tank who just toses skinnier ruckman and snaps goals when he is older.

Very mixed year Petts, felt he was a square peg in a round hole this year. Pros + powerful marking up the ground + fitness base returned after major scare with recurring foot injuries + agressive competitor + Some synergy built with JVR and Turner Cons - forward craft - major goal kicking yips - confidence My hope for 2025 is that Jeffersen pushes him out of the forward line and he pushes TMAC out of the backline.

They only celebrated our success to celebrate our downfall. Dees against the world.

Has a history at the club being a Casey and AFLW coach

We were only linked to Teague and Sloane, I don't think we had a great range of options to select from. Overall I'm pretty excited about the proposed direction from the club.

Stagnated more than a pond full of mosquitos Young high-level draftees will quickly push him out of his HF role if he doesn't crack in next year

The bloke is not a key forward, doesn't even crack 190cms. We have good depth for medium forwards. He is not the answer.

Absolutely, eventually we will need to draft some replacement big body mids, but right now we need a Zak Butters type to compliment our current crop.

He is above average in intercept possessions, he's a nick blakey type imo. Hybrid key defender and rebounder.

We can't forget Blake Howes. Add a couple kgs and he will be a great 2nd or 3rd tall option for us.

Dan Houston shut down his trade period in the media during finals than a month later admitted that he just straight up lied to diffuse tension.

I'd rather us try to attract mature age quality players to Casey's list, not ours. He is not AFL quality, and a lot of Casey's list is no VFL standard.

He definitely does have players in mind. Im confident we have targeted a player at 9, who will likely will be gone by 13 which is why we shifted our strategy to targets the dons pick instead of GCs. But like a good club we won't show our hand.

You'd probably take the punt on the larger body in andrew over the smaller Mentha, but I hope we make room for both, they both have great stories and lots of talent.

I think our focus will be our NGA prospects Riak Andrew and Mentha, Yze likely to go undrafted

Derksen might get a game!

West Coast trading 3 for mid teens picks and 2 out of contract players in Baker and Owies, yikes. Steal for the Blues.

but the vibe would be immaculate

Richards is steak knives, certainly not the 2xfirsts Port were asking. I think GC are salary dumping Atkins as well. Either way GC and Port with egg on their face, Pies laughing.
