Casey Scorpions v Frankston

Featured Replies

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.

I think the criticism of Jack Watts is a bit over the top. He's playing a differing role today, pushing back when required and is definitely getting involved physically on a day made for small men. I think he's showed a fair bit of class. Miller is starting to impose himself on the game and PJ doing OK in the ruck.

It's a day made for players like Bartram (who has been a prolific ball getter), Wheels and Bail's getting a bit of it.

I'm also liking the game of Danny Hughes.

 

Watts looks soft, lets not beat around the bush.

Cant even land a tackle.

No excuse for that.

Newton is demonstrating why he plays for Casey, poor disposal and decision making.

Back onto Watts, he's coming of a rest so he's probably a little rusty. There's probably a bit of 'let down' factor as well, can't imagine playing for Casey would be as exciting as a game at the G against the pies or Bombers. *Please don't take offense Casey supporters

This is why people need to accept he will not play afl and SHOULD NOT play afl. The last thing we need is more players who cannot dispose the football properly.

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.

Ha ha, no need to get personal. Being 18 and 80 odd kg is no reason not to keep your head over the ball. I said he needs to improve this and im sure he will. The guy is a number one draft pick and he needs to start showing us why. No one expects him to kick a bag but he should be having an influence at this level. He has done some nice things today but if his name wasn't jack watts i wouldn't have noticed him

Newton kicked the only goal for the quarter and Frankston was held goalless - 8.9.57 to 3.6.24

Do you have any reserves details KC?

Thanks

I will put up the details when available. Trent Zomer was the only Demon who played in the reserves. Conditions were not really made for big blokes like him but he kicked a couple.

A goal on the rebound to Wheels!!!!

 

WHEELSS!!!!

WATTSSSS!!!

a very nice finish and goal to Watts.. credit to Frosty too


oh oh..Watts proppy !!

Miller get a snag..Watts off ground :(

I really don't understand how anyone can criticize Watts' game today.

He has done very well for a big guy playing in a completely foreign position in horrendous conditions.

His class is evident, his handballing skills are unbelievable, he knows where to run and position himself even when playing in new roles. He is just a naturally smart player. Can't teach that.

He may not lay bone-crunching tackles, but he hasn't done anything today that would make you think "he should have gone there but didn't".

His snap around the body for goal is just another example of class rising to the top.

Edit: Watts' ankle is fine. No need to panic!


crumbing goal to Creed..out to 59

Goals to Watts and Miller and it's out to 53 points. Watts off with a rolled ankle. Valenti has a corked hip.

WTH WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO US

Rosco reckons he's fine.

And if you're going to wear a headband, you'd better kick better than that.

gifted goal to Juice.. tis ugly now ..heheheheh

Rosco reckons he's fine.

Yeah he said Watts was fine.

WTH WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO US

An avalanche in the last quarter which has been an absolute benefit for Casey. Miller's kicked his fourth. Newton has four & the difference is 98 points.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
