VFL Casey 2026 thread

[Proper Gander]

My Casey backline will be:

Salem May Lever

Pretty good for a VFL team.

V good

Dunno if May will play footy at any level again though

 

[Lampers]

Thats a significant list turnover. Surprised by a couple of the outs.

Aside from Laurie and Campbell that’s pretty much all the “Not good enough for AFL, but very good for VFL” players gone from both the Melbourne and Casey lists.

Plenty of times in 2025 the entire midfield rotations at Casey were Laurie, Hardie, Woewodin, Brown, Billings, Culley and Baldi so it will be a really different look in 2026.

If Melbourne has a poor year with injury as is looking likely I can see Casey being in for some torrid games with that loss of depth.

Old mate Coach Cam did a pretty comprehensive write up of the Casey lineup for this year if anyone is interested.

That was quite a good read, better than half the trash I read on AFL website, fair dinkum list turnover but I like the idea that we might unearth a couple of gems.

We have some young kids who will have played with a lot of them too which might just help if they have to cut their teeth at Casey for a while. I can see a few of our veteran players spending some time in Casey this year and more next year which will give them some of the protection they will need.
