Edit: Please note that because Frankston is a stand alone club, Casey can field a maximum of 12 MFC listed players.

at least we can still watch watts in some way.. hopefully he dominates!!

WATTERS!!

Brent Moloney should have a day out.

Will be good to see how the Scorps fair. I'll be interested to see how PJ competes at VFL level.

why would moloneys name be in the side no way he would be gettin dropped

Probably because he's named on Melbourne's extended bench.

Absolutely right. I doubt whether Moloney will be playing in this game. The Scorpions have named a 13 man interchange but 4 MFC players will be eliminated tomorrow night when the Demons announce their final squad of 22. I expect one additional player will be the emergency for Sunday. In the end the team will have five interchange with Ryan (I believe that he's a Gippsland Power player) being the 23rd man under a new VFL rule allowing a TAC Cup player to take part as an extra player.

As indicated in my edit of the first post on this thread, the maximum number of MFC players allowed in this game is 12.

Id say it would be WATTSY.

Team:

B Panozza Silvagni Taylor

HB Whelan Faulks Wall

C Matthews Valenti Chivers

HF Hughes Watts Newton

F McGough Miller Stockdale

Foll Johnson Bartram Creed

IC Bail Cheney McKenzie Mohr Ryan

Jamie Bennell is obviously emergency for tomorrow. Ryan is the TAC 23rd man.

Is it broadcast over the internet anywhere?

An inaccurate Casey Reserves lost by 22 points.

Meanwhile, first blood to Frankston who have a strong breeze at their backs.

bit scrappy.. ought to be interesting when the Scorps get the breeze. Some nice touches y Watts, unlucky not to score. Some good efforts by Juice accompanied by some perculiar after-thinking ..theres a time to be clever..and a time to be sure...the latter is about 99% for mine

if any of our Demonlanders are there ( am sure ) they wont be enjoying the weather..lol..

Dolphins snag a sausage from a Watts error...13 points up to Frankston

Quarter Time: Frankston 3.3.21 lead Casey 1.2.8

Goalkicker Danny Hughes

Quarter time

Frankston 3-3 21

Casey 1-2 8

Interesting seeing Watts play a defensive role...somewhere off the flank. Quite composed in crap weather. Earlier mistake was misjudging the headwind..he'll learn..lol

Casey 3.7 25

Franks 3.3.21

Barty snags one Casey lead

4.7.31

3.3.21

Thanks for the updates guys, hows Watts and Bartram going?

Bennell is not playing for casey so you would think he would be back in the melbourne side. watts is getting a few touches but his attack on the footy is pretty poor. You would say he is pretty soft. He would want to fix that as thats not going to cut it in the seniors

Casey Scorpions 1.2.8 7.7.49

Frankston 3.3.21 3.4.22

Goalkickers Miller 2 Bartram Creed Hughes Stockdale Wall

It took a long time for the Scorps to hit their straps. Now well in control.

Do you have any reserves details KC?

Thanks

I'd like to see you go in harder. He is 18 and weighs only just over 80kg so it's not surprising his attack on the footy is not up to scratch. He is, however, all class with the football in his hands.

I don't know what makes you say he is soft.

He is playing on the wing, but he is clearly playing an outside role.

He laid a couple of tackles, and hasn't been caught in a marking situation where he had to stand up and take a contested mark.

He and Whelan are obviously a class above. Watts' one- handed pick- up of the ball and 180 degree turn in the first quarter was superb. It's that sort of stuff that makes you say "[censored] this kid is gonna be special". I'm also impressed that he has gone out of his way to help his teammates up off the bottom of packs to congratulate them for their hard work.

Bartram has been good. These conditions really suit him. Same for Valenti.

Miller is the best key forward on the ground, kicking 2.3, whereas Newton stuffed up to easy shots at goal in the first and hasn't been seen since.

I really like Wall. Anyone know how old he is?

He's had a couple of classy touches but the previous post has a point.

Having said that I'm happy to wait for another two pre-seasons before having too many expectations on him.
