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.

Yes need to get new deals for Melksham, Salem, Weideman and Neal-Bullen. 3 year deals for each of the blokes imo. Lewis Final year in 2019. Let’s get the premiership and send him out in style As they only have 1-year deals, Maynard, Garlett, Wagner-J and Jkh all need to show improvement to stay on board. Garlett just needs to find his desire once again and he’s best 22.

Too early. Just recovered from 2018

Agreed. So it’s Lever and Petty for Lochie O’Brien and Liam Stocker interesting to see how this works out.

Agreed. He showed real ability. Like to see him get more game time in 2019. Not sure how given limited spots on vfl lists. Only 12-13 blokes maximum given 45 already on our list.

Do we have a full list? count 39 on main list, 4 rookies and 2 cat B rookies. I think you can have 44 before including cat B

Update

30 of the top 60 will be leaving home and moving interstate. its a national competition!!!

Pedersen might have been worthy of another year. Showed he was well above VFL and very handy AFL player if required.

If you can nail a tackle, JT will get you on board

Yes need to use 1st rounder in 2019

Paul Amy has reported that Angus Scott is off the WAFL Club East Perth. I think retention of James Munro (should be skipper), Mitch White, Corey Machaya, Mitch Lewis, Jay Lockhart, Corey Stockdale, Goy Lok and James and Tom Freeman. Guys like Gent and Hutchins likely to head to suburban footy again. Add Tynan and 4-5 youngsters (including a young ruckman) and have a quality 13-14 in the squad.

Like to see 3 Stingrays given a Casey Demons opportunity over the summer to get a spot. Watched the TAC Cup Grand Final and believe these guys have further opportunities ahead. Riley Bowman - 198 cms ruck/forward. Potential to be AFL ruckman with good skills and agility Campbell Hustwaite - strong mid/half back. Hibberd like attack. Competitor. Lachlan McDonnell - 190cms half fwd/half back. Lovely kick and can nail a goal from the 50.

Our midfield is looking strong. Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Harmes, Jones and now Sparrow. All tough competitors. That’s the culture now in our group. With Gawny putting the pill straight to them most of the time.

James is the talk of Yarrawonga today. Big story for a footy mad AFL town in northern Vic. Also Caulfield Grammar producing some quality AFL players. APS footy is a strong underage competition.

Agreed. I like James “Jordan” wearing number 23!!! Nickname - Michael !!!!!

Yes hopefully Lockhart stays at Casey Demons for 2019 season and shows he is worthy of an AFL chance. He was very unlucky imo.

Bedford is a ripper. Love his pace and intensity. He will take a year or two to develop but is a very good young player.

Good wrap. That’s about the Full Stop in the trades and drafts period.

List looks really in good shape. Perhaps only need is for young key forward to also develop over next 2-3 years like we did with the Weid. Haydn McLean was probably the one I would have grabbed at the rookie pick.
