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.

Country boy. Played well under pressure in TAC cup grand final. Clean disposal. Good decisions. Pacy type but can get contested footy. I had him 60+ range but nonetheless a good pick imo.

I will say it’s a NO from me

Ready to go. Good skills. Delivery is 70% efficiency. Will get a chance in 2019.

Actually Tom Sparrow reminds me of young Todd Viney. Very Good pick.

Toby is a great get. Speed demon

Sparrow is a yes. Tough. Hard working. Runner. Loves the contest.

Still A Smokey

Obviously not rated by other clubs. Crazy. He has the speed and goal sense that is sought after.

Meets our needs. A classy player.

Smokey!!! I didn’t see this coming. Not in my top 100 to be honest. In JT we trust.

Real strength and a booming 60 metre kick. Happy days.

I like him. Someone who likes it tough. He will be handy in ruck or forward rotation and will relieve Gawny from being exhausted by August.

Again mentioned as likely draftee. AFL website article lists Lockhart and Corey Wagner. Both has excellent year at Casey.

Lockhart is probably pick 85-90 or rookie selection.

Fair question. Need to ask every year about bringing Andrew Brayshaw back to Victoria. But the Brayshaw family also has strong family ties in WA so need to prioritise keeping Angus Brayshaw.

Lockhart will get a late draft call up or rookie chance. Dees could use pick 91 (probably be 83-85 after other teams use picks for academy and father/son point needs) or a rookie pick for Lockhart.

I’m afraid Butters is “soft”. It’s not great but in theme (Seriously Butters is very very good. Think Trent Cotchin or Brent Oreilly ex Crows. Highly skilled. Light frame. Always composed and great decision maker. I have him 16-20 so a chance).

It worked with Bailey Fritsch last year. He was undisciplined, crazed and injury prone. Bargain selection at 31.

I think Bedford has some injury concerns and discipline issues. Very risk pick for any club to nominate except for the Dees

Good luck Jesse. You are welcome back anytime. I know how important family is, especially given your last 2 years.

Bedford is quick. No doubt. Whilst he doesn’t get the footy 25 times a match, his danger is tackling, pressure, goalkicking and assists. Definitely worth any draft pick after 50.

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.

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