spirit of norm smith

Austin is only 17. Year 12 at Haileybury. Not quite mature aged.

Agreed. Casey is full of mid sized utility types. Rawlings will need to push to get a quality ruck into his squad. Dees also need some more depth in key forward position and work with Casey to see if any could be developed for future drafting. Maybe youngsters like Haydn McLean, Josh Smith, Riley Bowman or Hudson Garoni will be looked at by Casey.

Casey aiming for 15 in the squad. That makes 60 players all up including MFC list. James Freeman Tom Freeman Mitch Gent Mitch Lewis Jay Lockhart Corey Machaya James Munro Corey Stockdale Mitch White Add returning Luke Tynan. Likely another ex AFL player being announced shortly. Plus add 4-5 youngsters.

No interest here

Jake Lever is the only player who would be in doubt for a round 1 start. Injuries (lack of) will be critical to a 2019 premiership opportunity. We need our stars to stay fit. That’s why Preuss was brought in. We need a fit Maxy G come September.

Horrible business if we are already talking about a Petty trade. Lots of reasons to keep beyond 2019.

Schwartz is a true believer. The mighty Ox.

Call your local Rebel Sports store. Particularly ring during a weekday. Not on Saturday or Sunday. I know Rebel in Prahan has lots of Dees gear but they may have moved it on given season is well past.

Very strong top 28. This is the measure of a top team to have enough players to rotate through the year and not drop off.

Afl website confirms Demons have one more spot to fill and may do so under SSP. Interesting to see if any extra players train with Dees over the next few weeks.

Big man looks physically intimidating. Might prove more than just a backup. Gawn will need relief in hopefully a very long year to the end of September.

Agree Weid is a priority. He should almost be strangely more assured now Jesse has decided to go home. Get a contract offer early days imo.

Good to see the boys using the footy from the 1st week. footy skills still need improving. Weid looks ready to step up. May will be ready to lift us. He may even play forward or back depending on match ups. Viney in the track is a good sign.

Rohan Connolly reckons Kangas are top 4 in 2019. Tyson Hall Polec and Pitterd plus youngster Tarryn Thomas reckon to boost team into premiership contention. Connolly suffers from “Premature escalation”!!

Spencer had a very good year in the NEAFL. Injury free. Can you believe it. Very handy for Suns as #2 ruck behind Witts

Jordan in 23 is the best. Hope MJ gets to present his jumper.

Petracca has had 3 years now. 63 games. 57 goals. Ready for a 30+ goal year. He is one who will improve and take us to the next level. At 22, Trac is ready to ignite. He just needs to believe it.

Corey Wagner to get 41 next to his bro

I agree with the overall comments. Like the competitor style that JT brings in. The “addition of youth” is true about swapping out picks and trades for 21-22 year olds last year

Don’t get Anakin jealous. We know how he reacts. Badly.

Yes get it done

Lachlan McDonnell is a quality young man. Get him into the Casey program next year. Lots of upside.

Yes I thought there was still a spot. Rookie goes to main list such as Keilty and then a rookie is added. I still think McLean or young Riley Bowman would be handy additions for the future.

I wonder when the MFC website will update the “Players” content. I thought they would now add new recruits and draftees, and remove the retired/traded/delisted players.

Nev Jetta into the” Movember “ look. He’s an outstanding bloke.
