Casey Scorpions v Collingwood

[Chelly 749]

I'll try although it's lonely here. More cops than spectators!

The presence of the cops explains the absence of Pie fans but why no Dees?

[Chelly 749]

First blood to Wheels.

With only one game televised each week, it looks as though Casey are getting more than their fair share of TV coverage.

Casey 4.5.29 to Collingwood 1.0.6

Goals McGough Mohr Scanlon Whelan

Kyle Cheney has had 10 touches and 3 strong marks but his disposal has been ordinary although conditions are not great. They are tailor made for an in and under man like Shane Valenti who has had seven disposals, most of them in the clinches.

Casey 4.5.29 to Collingwood 1.0.6

how did the reserves go? Bucks? Spencer?

[KC from Casey 6,672]

how did the reserves go? Bucks? Spencer?

The Ressies play at City Oval, Coburg tomorrow. Rohan Bail didn't play for the seniors today so he might turn up in the reserves with Buckley, McNamara, Spencer and Zomer.

Casey 11.14.80 to Collingwood 3.10.28 but the Pies have a strong wind advantage in the last.

That was Juice's quarter with 3 goals after Casey started slowly with the advantage of the breeze. Cheney has 17 possessions, Valenti 14 and McKenzie 13.

[Michael_Newton_Magic 0]

Good signs for Juice.

Has kicked 4 goals every game for the last 3 outings.

[Akum 2,660]

Really like Stockdale off HFF.

[Akum 2,660]

PJ doing more with his hitouts this week too.

[KC from Casey 6,672]

It's all over and a big 62 point win to Casey. Always good to win against Collingwood!

last 2 weeks have been shitty freaky filthy low life conditions,he will get better geak, sorry i mean freak,is his kicking up to your standards geak, SORRY I MEAN FRAK.

[PeterJames 46]

Bit harsh on watts. thought he and hughes played team games by moving up the ground and blocking the corridor really well. they might not have had much of it but held up collingwood well.

[Carn dees 108]

How did buckley go???

Or any other ressies player?

Why would you laugh at him. Hero. Write more numbers down and continue your role as prophet of the ridiculous and banal.

Ressies play tomoro

[Freak 100]

coz it was laughable that he debuted ahead of newton. if you're going on vfl form alone, newton averaged stacks more contested marks, kicked stacks more goals and laid stacks more tackles. If we were in a grand final tomorrow, I believe Watts is probably the worst on our whole list, bar rookies. And even then hughes and McKenzie are better. nothing against watts, as i'm sure he will be good in 5 years, but for now he is utterly useless

[PeterJames 46]

I agree with you freak in terms of that there were and still are players playing better footy at casey. And they have put him ahead of a few players. But he is far from useless, and has been solid enough at casey.

Like Jurrah and i think guys like Hughes might not dominate at vfl level but enjoy the space and cleaner skills of AFL level.

[Jerry Lundergard 392]

I have a question about Watts for those who my have seen more of Casey than me. Do they kick it to him much?

It's just that every time i watch Casey play, they very rarely will kick it to Watts in a contested situation, which makes it hard for me to judge him sometimes.

Maybe he doesn't present and needs to increase his work rate, or maybe they just prefer to kick it to more mature bodies in contested situations. Like I said, I am not sure, but when watching the games on TV, i'll see a player with the ball and I'll be thinking Watts must be down that way left of screen somewhere, but the ball never seems to get kicked to him.

Today's game was not suited to him. It was congested with a lot of stoppages and packs.

[PeterJames 46]

I have actually found they love to give it to watts... They use him quite a bit..

Played mainly on the wing today. Looked ok, but it was truly horrible conditions, i almost had to tie myself to the fence to stand still!!!
