Casey Scorpions 6.8.44 to Port Melbourne 9.8.62 at half time.

Port dominated most of the quarter. Jack Watts had limited opportunities but has looked composed playing mainly at CHF. Matty Whelan was off in the part of the quarter with his right thigh bandaged (corky?). Hughes is the pick of the Dees in the first half but Rhys Healey has also done some nice things. With Trent Zomer not playing in this game, I would suggest that he's playing in the ones later in the evening.

I noticed most of the Demons in tonight's main game had arrived by half time in the reserves game. Jake Spencer is a big lad. Addam Maric is here but there's no sign of Kyle Cheney which suggests that he's the emergency held back just in case there needs to be a change tomorrow.

The other big arrivals are the Channel 10 cameras and Ryan Fitzgerald which suggests it's likely that there will be a cross to Before the Game when that programme goes to air tonight.

Thank you for the updates.

Although I do think that people are getting a bit suspicious that I keep excusing myself to go the bathroom (so I can check my phone).

Either they think I've drunk too much, or I have a drug problem :lol:

I hate to say it, but surely Whelan's career is on a knifes edge. If he has gone down with yet another injury then his days at the club must be numbered. He just cannot get on the park anymore.

Good to hear Watts is getting through the game with no worries - I don't expect him to see much of it as the delivery would be shite at the level he is playing.

Wheels has what appears to be a corky. I don't think that's career ending. Watts continues to show his skill without dominating and Healey looks good . His disposal has been excellent. Hughes was quiet that quarter and was also in the hands of the trainers. 3/4 time and Casey 9.13.67 trail Port 10.12.72.

Hughes back on.

Jack Watts took a nice mark close to goal but played on and unselfishly handballed to a teammate in the goal square for a goal but Casey are still behind.

Danny Hughes just took mark of the year. I just hope the Ten cameras were still on to take a shot of it because it could win him a car from somewhere just for the effort!

I'm not saying this injury is career ending, more that he continues to get these sorts of injuries each time he comes back from the last one. I'd love him in the side but he can't get fit anymore, which is a shame.

A nine goal final quarter by Port Melbourne blew away the Casey Scorps. I think the club would have been pleased overall with Jack Watts' debut. He had plenty of game time and looked good. It does however, get bloody cold here at this time of night and it's time for me to say goodbye to Casey Fields and return to the warmth of a nice wood fired oven in the Turkish restaurant the wife's booked us into for the evening.

Casey Scorpions 4.4 6.8 9.13 13.14 (92)

Port Melbourne 3.2 9.8 10.12 19.18 (132)

GOALS:

Casey Scorpions: Sykes 3 Hughes 3 Bolton 2 Chivers Watts Schrape Mildren McLeod

Port Melbourne: Schultz 4 Hassett 2 Scipione 2 Martin 2 Kennedy 2 Kilpin Sengstock O'Keefe Suckling Irving Neville Edwards

BEST:

Casey Scorpions: Williams Mazurek Waite Hughes Healey Chivers

Port Melbourne: Schultz Wall Sengstock Siciliano Clarkson Scipione

Is the game over yet? Did Watts kick any?

Contrary to the WJ report, 3SER reported that Watts kicked two.

The station reporting "line quality issues" regarding the Casey broadcast. The OB people blaming battery quality.

Scorps ordinary in the first quarter. Robbo and Maric getting kicks in the second.

The Casey line up for today's game is Peter Faulks, Jack Grimes, Liam Jurrah, Pierce Liddle, Ryan McGough, Ben MaCreadie, Jordie Mckenzie, Tom Mcnamara, Addam Maric, Jarred Matheson, Kyle Matthews ©, Tim Mohr, Matt Moore, Evan Panozza, Russell Robertson, Alex Silvagni (VC), Jake Spencer, Michael Stockdale, Shane Valenti, Beau Vernon, James Wall (VC) and Trent Zomer.

WJ was right about Cheney - he's not here tonight and is the emergency for tomorrow's game. He was also correct in saying that Watts kicked only one goal for the ressies. Casey Radio should tune in to Demonland for all their up to date info.

The first quarter has been all Port. They dominated a low scoring first quarter to lead at the break 2.4.16 to 0.3.3.

In the second quarter, the Scorps have been inaccurate but Robbo just received a pass from Addam Maric for a much needed goal.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
