I don’t think Melbourne will let the Crows have Sparrow but they can still give them the bird.

There’s an interesting article on Code Sport with pen pictures of a number of the new signings in the VFL - The 210 new signings for VFL clubs heading into season 2024 by Paul Amy Campbell Hustwaite might have missed the publication deadline but these are the Casey Demons included in the article. Leo Connolly Connolly lingered in the Sandringham VFL team in 2022-23 after playing seven AFL games for St Kilda in 2021. From Gippsland, he's living in the Beaconsfield district, putting him in Casey territory. Andrew Green The left-footer has travelled far and wide to play football. Last year he stopped at Cranbourne in the Southern league and caught the eye with his dash and poise. Eddie King King gets high marks for initiative. The 18-year-old sent the Demons his highlights package from school football and Richmond Juniors. Invited to training, he was so impressive with his pace and poise that Casey gave him a contract before Christmas. Brayden La Planche The 189cm La Planche was co-captain of the strong Eastern Ranges team last season, playing at both ends of the ground and averaging 11.9 touches. Caleb Lewis Lewis had some good moments for Footscray VFL last year, kicking three goals in successive rounds, and also starred at amateur level for St Bede's Mentone Tigers, nailing 49 goals from 14 outings. More senior opportunities should bring more exposure for the former Sandringham Dragon. Kobe Shipp Coming out of Dandenong Stingrays, Shipp has joined the club where his father, Andrew, was a premiership player and Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal winner. The Stingrays considered Shipp junior a rookie hope after he finished the 2023 season with the flourish of 26, 24, 22 and 25 possessions. Mitch Szybkowski Widely considered the hardluck story of the 2022 draft, the Dandenong Stingrays midfielder joined Frankston last year and had an encouraging season, but he's chosen to switch to the Melbourne-aligned Demons. Kai Windsor Just as his younger brother Caleb became a Demon in the AFL draft, Kai Windsor will be a VFL Dee after crossing from Box Hill Hawks. Kai had also come out of Eastern Ranges, reaching Vic Metro level in 2022 and parading his pace in the NAB League.

I wonder how much connection there is between the Casey coaching panel and Melbourne when the player who is the first player to be delisted wins the B & F?

This game is very similar to last week’s game but in reverse with Casey copping the flogging. AMW with two goals.

And AMW goals - Casey’s first of the game from a Melbourne lister!
