spirit of norm smith

Jay Lockhart is the 178cm Tasmanian who joined Casey in 2018. Impressed more and more as a solid small defender with good skills and decision making. Would be very handy backup to Jetta. Pick 62, 91 or rookie.

Crystal ball view to pick 28 Very cloudy though !!! 1-Blues. Sam Walsh 2- Suns. Jack Lukosius 3- Suns. Conor Rozee 4- Saints. Bailey Smith 5- Power. Izak Rankine 6- Suns. Max King 7- Bulldogs Ben King 8- Crows. Jackson Hateley 9- Giants. Riley Collier-Dawkins 10- Power Luke Valente match - Nick Blakey. Swans 11- Giants. Jye Caldwell match - Tarryn Thomas. kangas 12- Cats. Ed McHenry 13- Crows Bailey Williams match - Isaac Quaynor. pies 14- Freo Ian Hill 15- Power Curtis Taylor 16- Crows Ely Smith match - Rylee West. Bulldogs 17- Tigers Sam Sturt 18- Lions Liam Stocker 19- Giants Zak Butters 20- Eagles. Jordan Clark match - Will Kelly Pies 21- Crows Jez McLennan 22- Eagles Jarrod Cameron 23- Demons Xavier O’Halloran Match - Bailey Scott Kangas 24-Suns Tom McKenzie 25- Giants Riley Bowman 26- Swans Sydney Stack match - Connor McFayden Lions 27- Bulldogs Chayce Jones 28- Demons Xavier Duursma

Petracca can step up with a 40+ goal season in the stars.

Jones and Lewis. Hard to see them in best 22 for round 1. Though I will have Jonesy in my team for the reason he gives heart and soul. Might be needed in the long season for midfield rotations.

Delisted free agents are all pretty slim pickings. Agree Mav Weller is the only one that I’d call right now. One year deal. Physically ready. Tough. No backwards steps. Fits Harmes mould. Good depth. Protects new young draftees at Casey.

Agree. We will likely use 54 or 62 on Bedford or those points. I think the earliest nominated offer for him could be Bulldogs at 45. He has the skills and pace that we need. Needs 12 months in Casey development at least.

Yes I didn’t mean Bedford at 28. He’ll probably get a nomination in the 40s so we will have the use pick 54 points. Or use pick 54 if he lasts. Either way we should draft Bedford so no need to get McHenry.

Possibly we could draft late or perhaps rookie Hayden McLean (19yo from Sandringham VFL). Looked promising in 2017 under 18s year and developed again in 2018 versus vfl men. Needs to get more development but handy youngster who has the agility to play key forward. Josh Jenkins type.

Not for me. Valente likely for Crows at 16 or 21. McHenry is like a Spargo. Energy but light frame. Small. Goalkicking is average. I think at 23 and 28 there are better midfielders for us (O’Halloran ,Mckenzie ,Ely.Smith , Duursma) We also can get Bedford who fits the small pacy forward with tackling pressure.

Jordan Clark will probably get picked by Eagles at pick 20 or 22. He fits right there and is in the right mould for the Eagles.

Fact. 12 off the top 40 picks are Victorian based teams. 28 picks are for the interstate teams. A lot of very nervous Victorian kids and parents at the draft. Dees two picks at 23 and 28 offers them hope.

Sturt reminds me of a young Jack Gunston. Plays taller than his height and is a smooth mover like Fritsch. Definitely a chance at pick 23.

Any delisted free agents being considered? Mav Weller? Perhaps he supports midfield depth.

36 on list now. Maybe grab a delisted free agent (Mav Weller?) Picks 23,28, 54,62,91. I think we will use all 5. #23,#28 - any of Xavier O’Halloran, Ely Smith, Xavier Duursma, Tom McKenzie or Sydney Stack #54 likely on Toby Bedford # 62 on Vfl mature type likely Marty Hore, Jay Lockhart or Corey Wagner #91 is a complete punt Keilty will be a rookie upgrade. Gives us 2 rookie spots to fill on needs. Tall forward for depth in case of Weideman or Tmcd going down.

Mav Weller anyone? I know delisted from Saints who finished 16th but he is a tough competitor proven at the level. Even if we give him a 1- year deal to provide depth and cover across the year. Now Tyson is gone, depth is to be considered. It might also help out and protect the Casey mids development (we will probably add 3-4 young 18 year old draftees).

Welcome to the real AFL. Suns are a disgrace.

Yes Peter Bell wins. Mahoney caved but knew Jesse wanted to go home. We all move on.
