Casey Scorpions v Northern Bullants

Featured Replies

Enjoy that Maric was in the best, would like to see him get going

Would like to see Jetta and Gysberts get a game soon as reward for consistent efforts

 

I've got no problem playing Wona in Darwin. I'm pretty sure he'll perform as the hometown hero.

If we ever play a premiership match in Ringwood or wherever Gysberts is from then we'll give him a free pass into the team too.

So in summary... Bruce has a questionable hamstring for a few weeks while Gysberts is tearing up the VFL, and the forward line is looking worn out and short of repeat-lead marking targets and Miller is BOG in the VFL.

Depending on how Bate's ankle goes, it could be as direct as Gysberts for Bruce and Miller for Bate.

Has Miller been doing any ruck-helping at Casey? Because PJ hasn't added too much.

Thinking out loud, the players most likely to come in this coming week would be -

Miller

Gysberts

Morton

Plus Aussie in for luck up North. Which might make Maric cry or might make him get some traction at last.

Why would that be? AFAIK this is the first time Maric's been in the best for Casey, and of the two Wonna's the one who's shown he can cut it at AFL level.

If anyone would cry because they missed selection it would be Cheney and McNamara who have been doing well down there for a long time.

Think wona is weeks off, how much footy has he played in the last 12 mths

would expect him to play at least another 2 - 3 weeks at vfl

Colin Garland played 1 and a half games of footy in 12 months and came straight into the senior side. The FD have shown that if they think someone is capable they will happily promote them after minimal gametime despite long absences.

Im not sure how Morton can be behind Gysberts.

Id love to see Jordan get a game, but I struggle to see Morton being overlooked if he is right to play.

I'll have a crack at answering that one.

Gysberts has been in Casey's best players in three consecutive matches and was a significant contributor in each win.

I saw Cale Morton in his first game back and he looked good but was really eased into things after a longish layoff. I'm told that he struggled to shake off his tag on Saturday but being the quality footballer that he is, he still managed three goals, one from a soft 50 metre penalty. The selectors would have at the back of their minds the fact that he would be required to play his comeback game to AFL footy in the heat and humidity of Darwin after a long flight. Might not be the best idea for a bloke who is a very valuable asset to the club.

So do you suggest we do not play Morton and give him a week's break as there is no match at Casey this week?

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
