And that list gives us a good indication as to which of the MFC listed players won't be playing tomorrow:

4. Jack Watts

6. Matthew Bate

11. Paul Johnson

20. Colin Garland

26. John Meesen

33. Austin Wonaeamirri

35. Luke Tapscott

46. Sam Bleese

All players who have been under an injury cloud and whose numbers are being used by the Casey top up players.

Football fans are a funny lot. More than one of the spectators at yesterday's intraclub game at Casey Fields confused the Reds player wearing # 4 with Jack Watts and the # 20's on both sides with Colin Garland. Of course neither Watts nor Garland took part in the game but this didn't stop one or two idiots from aiming their barbs at JW look alike Cam Purdy a Casey recruit from East Ringwood who did well in the game.

I've managed to glean some information on the Casey top up players. It's not exhaustive but if anyone has additional information on the blokes I'll add it as it comes through. These blokes, many of them still in their teens, did a terrific job and their experience in training with the group and playing in this game should hold them in good stead in the coming season.    

Andrew Campbell (White #11)

Glenn Chivers - 190cm 89kg former St. Kilda rookie, originally from Oakleigh Chargers played 10 games with the Casey Scorpions last year including the Elimination Final against Collingwood  (Red #11)

Mitch Dowse - 175cm 73kg from last year's Gippsland Falcons list via Heyfield, he was selected to play one game for the Scorpions under the 23rd player rule and impressed, kicking a goal (Red #46)

Matt Fieldsend -  De La Salle midfielder who tied for the best and fairest in VAFA A Section last year (White #6)

Michael Johnson (White #35)

Matt Lillie (Red #35)

Cade Maskell - from Korumburra Bena in the Alberton FL (White #46)

Gus Patti - 191cm 87kg recruited to Casey last year from Dandenong Stingrays and played 3 games in the seniors as a back up ruckman in his debut season (Red #20)

Will Petropolous - 173cm 74kg Noble Park lad recruited this year from Dandenong Stingrays  (White #33)

Cam Purdy - a versatile key forward from East Ringwood  (Red #4)

Tim Smith - 177cm 77kg pacy small man from Seaford who arrived at Casey in mid season and was impressive enough to force his way into the team for 4 games including the Elimination Final (Red #33)

Mark Weekes - from Oakleigh Chargers via Mazenod (Red #6)

Dean Woodhead - 192cm 87kg from Drouin and the Gippsland Falcons (White #26)

Chris Wylie - 196cm 88kg tall recruited from Poowong and the Gippsland Falcons (White #20)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
