Watts named at CHF...hmmm...

Fitzpatrick at CHF in the two's and on the bench in the one's....

Looking forward to seeing Blease's name pop up one day soon.

[DemonDan... 77]

Watts named at CHF...hmmm...

Yeah i noticed that too..

and yet we keep Miller in the seniors.. who by the way, only had half the kicks that wattsy had last round!

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Anyone know why Martin is missing? His versatility will be a loss to Casey. Makes me think Fitzpatrick is a big chance to play his first VFL game.

On my way out there now to watch the game on my Pat Malone.

Anyone else going out?

If you have a look at the Melbourne team- every player who was named on Melbourne's interchange from is named in Casey's team. Only concern is Watts actually being named on the ground instead of the bench which if it is the same as the AFL, usually means they are guaranteed starters in that team. i hope they don't drop him, they just need to keep persisting week in week out and take the good with the bad.

I was planning on it all week however cant make it as I had planned.

Haydo, can you let us know which Dees from the extended bench are out there once the game has begun.

Thanks mate

The Seniors game has just started with first blood to Sandringham - goal.

Casey Scorpions Reserves lost by 20 games in a very ordinary game under difficult conditions on a heavy ground.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

A goal to Addam Maric who has been very busy after Sandringham scored the first two goals. The visitors have the advantage of the breeze.

The ground is very heavy but it looks like the rain is going to hold off.

[Jonesy!!! 27]

Is Jack Watts playing today?

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Is Jack Watts playing today?

No. In fact, Paul Johnson is the only selected MFC interchange player in the game so it's possible that at least one of the players selected for the Demons will miss and another will be an emergency.

cheers KC, jones and/or sylvia must be in high doubt for only 1 of the melb bench to be playing

[Dreamin' Demon 10]

Joel McDonald 2 goals!!!

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Half Time

Casey Scorpions 6.7.43

Sandringham 6.1.37

Casey started strongly with two goals to Joel Macdonald and another to Macreadie but Sandy struck back with two goals.

It's a scrappy affair!

Rumour that Colin Sylvia will miss on Monday (got that from a bloke in the canteen).

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Three Quarter Time

Casey 9.7.61

Sandringham 8.3.51

Similar term to the last with goals to Creed (2) and Fieldsend (who had a great quarter) before Sandringham came back late to narrow the margin to 10 points.

[Red Sox 2]

Great updates and always appreciated....wanted to go but sadly dragged into work but thanks to you can stay in touch.

Good work!

[KC from Casey 6,776]

First goal of the final term to Smith of Casey. The Scorps look in control.

So PJ and Cheney are playing, meaning Bennell will be the one who is ready to come in if Jones doesn't come up.

Unless of course we decide to cop another $10,000 fine.

Horrendous game.

Absolute mud pile.

I left at half time.

Not a game worth watching.

I noticed Newton wasn't playing.

Does anyone know why he wasn't playing?

Cheney deserves a game in the seniors at some point. Maric was busy.

Other than that, i really didn't see enough.

Chip was at the ground with Dunny and Petterd.

Juice was injured early in last week's game. Stef Martin was also out this week along with Rhys Healey who was injured playing in the reserves last week.

By the way, with Williamstown's defeat today against North Ballarat, Casey is now on top of the ladder and plays Willi next week at Point Gellibrand. The game will be Casey's first televised game of the season despite it occupying one of the top spots throughout the first half of the season.

Thanks for all the updates KC!!

Was at the game today and I must say I was very impressed with Casey's win. Wasn't a very attractive game as it was played in very heavy/muddy conditions but Casey pulled through to win a real danger game where only 9 Melbourne listed players were playing and were without the likes of Miller, Newton, Watts, Dunn & Martin who have all been rotated through Casey's forward line this season so far as their key position players go.

Here's my take on the Melbourne boys.

Paul Johnson - Played well in the ruck up against Steven King, broke even at best in ruck hit outs, but did a lot more around the ground then King. Can't see him getting back into Melbourne's team however unless Jamar is injured.

Addam Maric - Like his last few games started very well but faded as the game went on, think Sandringham paid him a lot more attention after quarter time. Kicked a nice goal and was involved in a few other. Played mainly across half forward and looked Casey's most dangerous forward and was quite creative. Needs to work on decission making but I would think he'll probably get a chance with Melbourne before the seasons out.

Daniel Bell - Good solid game in the midfield without being outstanding. Did some nice buluking work in the middle in the heavy conditions and seems to be the main component in Casey's engine room.

Kyle Cheney - Another very good game in defence and was probably the pick of the Melbourne listed players. Saved a couple of goals and wasn't beaten in a one on one challenge. It would have to be a matter of time before he's given a run with Melbourne, he's been very stiff.

Joel MacDonald - Very good game across half back and provided Casey with a lot of run. Kicked 2 beautiful goals in the 2nd quarter and did his chances of a recall no harm.

Tom McNamara - Very solid in the back line without getting a lot of the ball. Along with Cheney, Tommy was just a solid wall in the back line and as I've posted previously, he seems to have a very good understanding with Kyle. Don't know if he'll get a call up any time soon but I suspect he's definatly part of Melbourne's long term plan.

Austin Wonaemirri - I thought Aussie was very good today without kicking a goal or getting a lot of the ball. He provided a lot of forward line pressure and was probably the cleanest player out there as far as handling the ball went. Could possibly be back in the Melbourne team after the break.

Daniel Hughes - Didn't do a lot today but presented all day in difficult conditions and was hard at it. Can't see him getting a game with Melbourne again this year unless there are lots of injuries.

James Strauss - After Cheney I thought he was the next best of the Melbourne players. Every time he kicks the ball I drool and he's definatly in the mix for a recall. On form alone Cheney would have to be ahead but Strauss's kicking may help him out. Does need to tighten up a little defensivly IMO.

RESERVES:

Jack Fitzpatrck - Only saw the final 2 min of the reserves but Jack was out there. No idea how he went but it is good to know he got through another game. Wouldn't have been his conditions but I have no doubt he'll make it long term.

Juice was injured early in last week's game. Stef Martin was also out this week along with Rhys Healey who was injured playing in the reserves last week.

Didn't realise Rhys wasn't playing today, someone else was wearing his no and I assumed it was him.
