Casey Scorpions v Frankston

Featured Replies

Watched the game on TV, but what impressed me the most about Watts was he seemed to have so much time.

For example, in the last quarter he gathered the ball on the far wing, LOOKED BEHIND HIM[ learnt from Davey run down]

calmly kicked the ball to the forward on the lead for a gaol. A perfect pass on a day when so many passes went astray.

Lesson learnt get ball, assess those around you, pick out team mate and deliver lace out.

 

I rekon Newtons past 6 games at Casey have been worth a recall. Throw him at FF for the rest of the year then make some serious decisions on his future. Putting him in for 1-2 games dosen't do anything for his confidence. Come on Juice get a bit of C*&^ into ya.

 
Who cares how Watts plays for Casey just put him back up into the seniors. Needs more experience of the pressure and intesity at AFL level.

Can they just give NEWTON another crack at AFL level please......SO HE CAN SHOW EVERYONE WHY HE SHOULD NOT PLAY AFL.

No .....needs to play AFL so that we can convince the Swans that they need him at FF!!!!

Sorry to disappoint so many of you, but Newton & Valenti won't be cut. Or Bail or Bartram or PJ for that matter. Over the next few years of thin pickings from the draft, we're going to need our current fringe players just in case one or two of them step up.

Newton and PJ are contracted next year.

Valenti cant get a game at MFC in a bog awful midfield. He is unlikely to be elevated and certainly wont be rookied.

If Bail cant improve from where he is at next year then he will join Juice and PJ out the door at the end of 2010.

Fringe players that cant press and hold their spot in a bottom ranked side are not worth keeping on your list.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
