I hope Adelaide are at the top of their game. Would love to see them shut Collingwood out of top four contention.

How is Guy Rigoni’s daughter going?

No, you can’t lay on the ball and make no attempt to dispose of the pill.

But the station won’t allow you to tape the game.

It probably doesn’t matter because the Fox commentators will probably be in their Southbank studio but someone should tell them that the game between Melbourne and St Kilda on Sunday is being played at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs and not the MCG.

SInnema in the Coates Talent League team again.

Dockers are playing as if under the influence.

We desperately need a tall young ruckman (202-5 cm tall) to develop over the last few years of Maxy’s career while he can still learn from the greatest ruckman of the modern era.

Anyone else like me wonder why other clubs get the results of player scans and make them public a lot quicker than MFC (or is this just a case of MFCSS)?

A couple of reports in the media. Track watch: Concerns for Melbourne defender after match sim injury Young gun faces anxious wait as Demons dealt double training blow — Track Watch Seems like they're covering a lot of the same territory.

And therein lies the problem. If we are targeting Kalani White who is a 200cm plus tall, is there any value in investing in a 198cm tall who is also going to cost heavily in terms of draft points?

Wait till Tom Morris get a hold of this!

We should all write to the club.

Wow. That's what I call a cleanout. A lot of last year's regular Casey listed players out or undecided and one or two names not yet confirmed. Paul Amy who reports regularly on the VFL has reported that a few players not on the list have also signed on for 2025 including Noah Yze, still to be confirmed. Definitely will be a tough gig for Casey boys to get games this season.

I can. The Cats are the only club in the AFL that don’t have a salary cap.

Does anyone know how to determine if a player is eligible to be placed on the long term injury list? I know of a player in a suburban competition who had surgery on his Achilles late last year and was told he could be out of sport for 12 months so being over 30 years old, he decided to retire. Charlie’s surgery happened in July last year. If he was also looking at a 12 month return date, would that be sufficient for him to be put on the LTI?

This is a complete non-issue given that Kozzie is contracted for another three seasons. The Dockers are being mischievous if they are bringing it up so unless they are prepared to offer us both Andrew Brayshaw and Serong in exchange, they would be wise to look elsewhere.

On that basis, he’s clearly eligible and IMO is a definite chance for the Rising Star in 2025.

On that basis, I put a line through him. On what I saw of him in 2024 I thought he was handy at times but given the extent of the club's recruiting to date, I think the move to the Dolphins is probably a good move because it will give him more opportunities. If anyone else has any info on the comings and goings at Casey, please post in this thread.

By my reckoning, these are the players contending for places on the Casey Demons list. New or returning players from past years in bold. Riley Baldi, Jack Behnk, Riley Bonner, Paddy Cross, Jai Culley, Chance Doultree, Tyler Edwards, Tom Freeman, Roy George, Andrew Green, Max Gregory, Mitch Hardie, Patrick Ireland, Eddie King, Mitch Kirkwood-Smith, Brayden Laplanche, Caleb Lewis, Harvey Neocleous, Charlie Peters, Ned Moodie, Tom Sheridan, Kobe Shipp, Deakyn Smith, Tyson Sruk, Kai Windsor, Noah Yze

Yes - by all means, let's carry out a full and transparent investigation and if it's discovered that what you have written above is complete and utter bulltish, you will make a public apology in front of the members on the opening game of the season.

Fixed it for you.

I wonder if Riley Bonner is still on the table for Casey? As @george_on_the_outer mentioned, the club is subject to the limitations of a salary cap. There must be a limit to the number of high quality ex AFL players a club can recruit.
