Tynan should be, still only 19, has put on weight. I reckon give him one more year to prove himself.

Would of thought he would want a look at the young players before he cuts them. But then again Casey are done now so who knows when it will be.... when is the deadline day for delistements?

Josh Tynan seems to be within 5 meters of the ball alot, doesn't pick up any cheap possesions though. Don't understand how he doesnt get more. Must have a great tank

I think it would be so harsh to get rid of Tynan or Taggert, both injured for majority of 2012 and if I remember correctly neither got a full pre season in this year? Also what is the point on cutting a 19 and 20 year old just to pick up 2 more 18 year olds, already put 2 years into these ones may as well give them another year or 2 now that they have the weight on. Its likely we would be cutting them for picks 60 and above so we are just going backwards again... knowing our board this will probably happen and we will go further back. Tynan played round 1 last year and had 14 possesions and didn't look out of place, got injured in round 2 and out for most of year before back in rd23. Taggert injured for whole year. Suprised neither got a game this year after they both showed good form in VFL at stages. Hope the board see's it this way. I think we should delist Nicholson, Sellar, Davis, Couch, Gillies. Rodan, JMAC and Davey are retired. Trade Watts and Magner.

So bad how our website hasn't updated some of the player heights and weights, I know for a fact Tynan is more then 76kgs, was 83 when I asked him if he had put anything on, and that was mid-year. Great review by the way, very fair, unbias and detailed

Was at the game and Jetta was great. Gawn was very good to, Gillies gave Casey a chance, and was promising up forward. Also saw Hogan and large limp on him. Can walk without crutches but saw him walking with them later on just for support. He was very keen to be out there.

Thats the thing, we don't know if Tynan and Taggert can make it in the AFL. We need to see first, Tynan played round 1 last year and got 14 possesions, not a standout achievement but certainly not bad for an 18 year old bottom end draft pick at the time. In my opinion its worth giving 1 more year to them both. Shame we couldn't see them more this year. Guess contracts isn't in our hand though, will certainly be interesting to see who they cut come years end. I would just hate to see our club who is trying to develop a good young team, to cut young players. Think we have some older blokes who are past it, and some 22-25 year olds that just aren't gonna make it. But then again who knows what they will do... the way we have been going something stupid probably will happen.

Why delist Tynan??? 2nd year player, still 19. Makes no sense to get rid of him. He has been in good form in VFL until he went off injured last week, was on track for a game. So young, got potential and got fight, leads tackles most weeks for Casey so obviously wants to be out there unlike half of the players in Melbourne's first side. Think he deserves 1 more year, same goes for Taggert.

Any idea on J.Tynan's stats? Even Luke Tynan would be good to pickup next year, seems to be in the best most weeks.

Magner 29 possesions according to Casey Twitter.... wow

Thanks for letting me know mate, champion

Good to see Taggert start well. Is Josh Tynan playing? Was off early last week and noticed he was named last on interchange so guessing he was a test. Both 2nd year players out of contract and hoping to see them play themselves into a new contract.

How bad is it that Tynan had the same amount, or more tackles then over half of the players playing on that stats sheet, and he was injured early in the first quarter.... not sure weather thats a positive for his development, or a really bad thing on the players he has more than, especially the mids/defensive players. Hmm, anyway, good Casey got a win

AFL just tweeted saying Clisby gets 3 weeks..... WTF!?!?!

Ah yeah, if Josh had a good game today I would of guessed he would be pushing for selection. Still hope to see him and Taggert by years end.

Also, Casey best, via Melbourne Twitter Casey Best: Jetta Rodan Macdonald Gawn Smith Tynan Not sure weather that is Luke or Josh Tynan though

Your all being pretty harsh on him, he has so much talent, just not use to the tempo of AFL footy yet, give the kid a break

From Casey twitter Ballwinners: Toumpas 24, Rodan 23, Gawn 22, Jetta 21

Yeah Thanks KC, I don't post on here much but am a regular reader of your write-up, great work mate and everyone on here 100% appreciates it.

Up by 19! That was a quick turn around!

Yeah how are these blokes going? It's great just to be able to jump on here and see your updates, thanks alot mate

Strauss in for Pedersen.

Guessing Magner will be an in. Melbourne has placed Mitch Clark on the long-term injury list and upgraded James Magner from the rookie list as his replacement.

I would really like to see both Taggert and Tynan, Tynan probably in for Frawley though, same sort of position although can't see Tynan playing against a no.1 forward in just his 3rd game. Also would love to see Taggert as we just need to experiment with our list! Havn't seen him yet and hardly seen Tynan, contracts out at end of year, surely they will get a 3rd year, but who knows. Gotta see if they have AFL potential first I guess.
