Courageous Casey skipper Kyle Matthews is on the comeback trail and while he has been impressive to date, coach Brad Gotch says there are still some hurdles ahead - VFL: Casey Scorpions keep fingers crossed over skipper

"It was a serious head knock and until we get to the practice games we won't know. We'll keep our fingers crossed that everything is all right."

Defender Michael Stockdale, who missed the second-half of last season with a knee injury, is also on the way back to boost the club's playing stocks.

    All power to Kyle in working his way back from such a dreadful position.

    Kyle Matthews played in the reserves match against Sandy yesterday

    Was wearing a helmet for obvious reasons...thought he looked pretty good after such a long lay off

    Considering what he's been through, yesterday was a big step back for him...

    Great to see him back

    Fantastic to see he was even a starter.No doubt he is so courageous he'll make it back. And good on him.

    Any MFC players involved in game against Frankston @ Casey this Saturday?

    Apart from the helmet Kyle Matthews against Frankston, was no different to Kyle Matthews before he was king hit. He hit the contests just as hard as he ever has. Would have to be one of the gutsiest players I have ever watched, even more so with what he has been through this past year.

    Haven't seen a lot of Kyle play, however when I have he has impressed me with his ball winning ability. If this year goes well for him, anyone think he is a Smokie to be rookied next year? I think the MFC should watch him closely this year.

    It would not surprise me if Kyle Matthews was on the radar of a few clubs prior to his injury. I hope he has a great year on and off the field.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
