spirit of norm smith

Any news on Jack Leslie coming to Casey?? Big defender. Strong and quick. Injuries has impacted on his past few years but 2019 showed he was good enough in AFL quality. Was a very good junior and I thought he’d be a reasonable chance to get picked up post Suns delisting. One to watch in 2020 hopefully in a Casey jumper.

Gillon Mc has seen this and granted the Dees some compensation. We will get 1st priority pick in 2020 draft mid 1st round pick in 2021 draft exclusive access to Gippsland zone for the next 5 years Gillon Mc said “for the benefit of the game and the long term strength of the code, we need every team being competitive across many years” sorry- it was all a dream!! we are not the Suns

Omcd has shown nil and yet still gets represented in our best 22. Ridiculous

Very handy free pickup. Versatile. Smart player. Played some good footy last year and provides insurance to cover Weid and Tmcd which we didn’t have last year.

Chess piece number 1 Mitch Brown now in place

Billy Stretch and Jkh are off the list

G. Lyon. Wow. Absolutely let himself go. Mick Molloy looks in better shape!

Optimistic outlook for us to get Kolodjashnij, Vandenburg, Jsmith and then also Bennell all injury free and fit. If we can , the best 22 looks impressive.

So do Bennell and Brown now train with us from next week. Assume we have 2-3 months to top up with 2x rookies or an upgrade.

Both got picked up as rookies. Desperately unlucky not to be drafted.

Sokol would be the one to choose IF BENNELL fails in his comeback. Sokol has all the skills and smarts and goalkicking to be successful at AFL level.

Darcy Cassar?? Ridiculous

If only we had one more pick. Mitch O’Neill or Fraser Phillips. Both look likely AFL Players with excellent skills and that class to play at the top level. Both will definitely get rookie listed.

Agree. Twomey has him going to Lions at pick 23. Rivers and Jackson from the West.

Yes they have. Saints got him as a bargain at 53

Agree. It’s a win. I thought he would be top 25 - around 18-25, so good get imo. Skills needed in our team.

I like it. He is a classy ball user and runner. Strong mid or half back.

Sharp? Rivers? Bianco? Still alive

I like it

I like the inclusion of Brock Smith. I saw two power games this year and he looked a solid smart defender. Strong build, composed and can deliver the footy. I know there is about 8-9 really good other youngsters but Smith would be a good call out as well. A local boy

With is getting Kozzzy, it’s unlikely we’d go for ET at pick 30. But it would be tempting.

Kozzzzzzzzy that’s the call that will get the members and supporters and young kids excited. we need some X factor and I hope this kid can deliver it. Cost us 2020 1st round draft pick but imo should be worth it.

Yes it seemed split between Young and Jackson. Love the irony in the names. We can always get Young if Jackson decides to go home. That’s going to be the annual discussion after 2021 imo. Hogan was also mentioned each year to go back home and he did.

Agree. It’s just showing that plenty of good options in next 9-10 players available. I rate Jeremy Sharp highly with pace, run and skills. Good size at 187cms 78 kgs and experience at senior WAFL level. Harrison Jones could also be a good option as a young key forward.
