spirit of norm smith

Agree. Taylor always springs a surprise. I think pick 47 will be potentially a smoky

Sorry still not a Petruccelle fan. Hopefully 29- Bailey (others Wooller Hayes Garner Houlahan Spargo ) 31- Wooller (others as above) 36- Fritsch (others Miers Starcevich) 47- Coleman-Jones (others McLean, Mynott, Farrell)

Amazing mock by Anderson Baker at 29. Hmmm. He is fast but disposal needs work. Garner appeals more if available Hayes at 31. An absolute steal Ling at 39. Wow. Pace smarts and a mid goalkicker. Yes though I would grab him at 29. Surely Cats take him Fritsch at 47. Yes. Though I’d take him earlier

Ouch. Petruccelle - Turnover king. We need players that can hit a target.

Ridiculous exercise. Just some lazy journos wasting time.

Red with a blue V neck??

Craig Cameron D+ 1996-2007 Barry Prendergast F 2008 -2011 Todd Viney B+ 2012 Jason Taylor A- 2013 to current

News to date Jade Rawlings - new coach Tom Couch - player and assistant coach Mitch Gent - signed up for another year Some of the development team (2017 premiers) are trialling at Frankston including Jake Lovett. Casey confident that 7-8 of key development list will stay at Casey and push for the senior team (Collis, Hillard, Cox, Allsopp, Lefau, Vanderhaar, Gordon)

Hmmm. Ballard, Moore, Taylor and Walker. Not a win here. Ballard ... skinny Grgic type. Disposal is below average. Moore ... is ok at 31 but not if Garner or Wooller is available. Taylor ... tall defender. We have plenty. Walker ... opportunist forward with some mid potential Would prefer if available on this listing 29 Wooller 31 Garner 36 Farrell 47 McLean or Coleman-Jones

Don’t agree with some of the rankings but it is comprehensive and shows a lot of time and effort.

Give Lever the # 8 Give Balic the # 20 would upgrade Weideman to # 9 (alongside Brayshaw and Lever) and upgrade Harmes to # 27 leaves #4 Draft pick 29 #26 Draft pick 36 #31 Draft pick 31 (love the connection) #43 Draft pick 47 Rookie upgrades #33 Maynard #35 Kielty #41 Filopovic

Hamish Brayshaw. Great grab on afl website. Would be great to see MFC potentially grab him at 47. He has the ability to make it.

It’s a no no no no no no from me

Yes a definite chance. I see him as a 25-35 draft pick and he would be a good choice at our picks (any one of 29,31,36).

Fritsch was out with Jamie Elliott. Very high risk draftee.

Great story about Zac Bailey on AFL website. Good Demons connection. I had him at pick 30. Would be happy to see him land at a MFC selection.

Heard Fritsch was out drinking last night. Got arrested outside nightclub at 4am. Might have been fighting. Similar to Jack Darling in 2010. How could anyone but MFC take the punt on this reckless young man !! (Hope HS picks up this news )

Knightmare on Big Footy has MFC choices as 29 Wooller - yes if available 31 Spargo - good but prefer Garner 36 Mcpherson - good but prefer Fritsch All good choices if we were lucky enough. Though need more height at pick 47. As per my top 50. I think Fritsch at 36 is the go.

Top 3 clearly are Jakovich Jurrah Farmer Schwartz also a very popular choice. Agree that Charles, Yze, Vardy and Stinga (Tingay) were other notable mentions. Sean Wight as a backman was another that excited us Demons fans with his courage and athletic ability to spoil the marking contest.

Nucleus of team is strong but plenty of room to grow and spots available. We need to develop very good youngsters players into Stars. Viney is ready. Oliver Petracca Hogan Lever Brayshaw Tyson all to step up. Jetta and Hibberd were outstanding in 17. Others make up a strong nucleus. Perhaps too much reliance on Gawn and Hogan to be fit and stand up in 2018. Go around one more time: Vince - dropped off in 2017 and may struggle to be in best 22. May go forward if required. Pedersen - keeps on going. Lifts when you think he is gone. Big heart may carry on On the edge : J Smith- I see him really stepping up in 18. Lever takes tall defender role but Smithy has the tools to play anywhere. Fingers crossed on healthy run. Bugg - lucky to survive ...Owes the club Vandenburg - needs to be injury free Kent - poor discipline and injuries killed 2017. Last chance saloon. JKH - on the cusp. 2018 will be make or break Wagner - dropped off in 2017. Disposal was poor. A maybe at best! Mckenna - didn’t see him in 2017. Must be injury free and show his potential Must develop : Johnstone - saw him twice at Casey. Plays in on/off bursts. Not sure so would like to see him more before judge. King- more gym work required. Our backup in 2018. Rookies: Kielty - very close. Like to see him given a game in 2018 Maynard- like his style. Hope he progresses T Smith- another who needs a clean fit run. Still on doubtful list Filopovic - raw and skinny. Injury hit 2017. Given another year to see what he brings. A lot more required.

Yes really glad Jack got picked up. Two Demon “Jacks” now at the power.

Yes agree. Very smart. Goal sense and skill was natural.

Chopper Lovell. Hard at the footy. Yes and yes. One of our heart and soul types. Excitement machine. No.

Excellent. But it makes sense. Why would the AFL reward an exciting team with an upward trend.

Zac Clarke - any appetite???
