Casey Scorpions v Frankston

[flamindees 16]

Just wondering- i've never been to the ground before- how close is it to the train station?

[Geddy Lee 582]

Very ugly finish to the game for Frankston. They may have well put witches hats out there next week because that's what their players have looked like today. Casey 13 final quarter goals to end up 30.19.199 to Frankston 5.6.36. Fitzpatrick kicked about 7 and set up about 5 more directly with short passes to a team mate. Very good game by the boy. The other demons were all solid but did not stand out.

Oh my god! Demolition!

That's the kind of margin the Dees could (should?) have lost by on Thursday.

I'm trying to organise a midweek practice game between the Dees and Frankston 2's in order to lift the boys morale ahead of the Adelaide game.

Cheers Pringle - look after the lads today.

be careful that could back fire especially if Frankston 2nds get on top early

Not real close. At least a 20 minute walk.

[pringle 42]

Will try to post updates but if anyone else is here they might as well do it instead as I am working. Will still try at the breaks. game is on tv as well on abc so tune in if you're at home. Still plenty of seats left at the ground though...

Just to be safe make it a 3 quarter game starting at the 2nd quarter.

[Kiss of Death 708]

That's the way the Dees should play. Sounds like a 4 quarter effort, and not taking it easy after getting a decent lead.

Thanks mate!

Petterd dislocated knee.

Edit: Spelling

[45HG 1,539]

Petterd has come off with what looks like a knee injury.

Has gone up the race - commentators said it looked like a dislocated kneecap (I think just because he was knocking at his knee). I don't really agree with them but didn't look fantastic.

A minute later Blease backed into a pack and got crunched. Has come off but should be fine.

Nicholson and Bate have goals. 2.1 13 - 2.0

[Dee-licious 1,867]

Dan Nicholson looking really good same with Jetta. Blease's fitness doesnt look up to AFL yet.

[Pipefitter 2,085]

Poor Ricky. He shouldn't even be playing at Casey in

The first place.

[45HG 1,539]

Pettard dislocated knee.

No he didn't.

And it's Petterd.

[Dee-licious 1,867]

Petterd says he's 'good as gold' looks like hes going to come back on update as it happens

[stranga 328]

Evans and Nicholson are guns, get em on the senior list. More grunt and workrate than our midfield combined

[45HG 1,539]

Nicholson looks lively.

Something tells me we're not going to get a great deal of substance from any reflection of this game.

2 goals up after Lawrence and Newton goal.

[Pipefitter 2,085]

Looks like Ricky was a false alarm. Phew!

Nice shimmy from McDonald to set up Lawrence.

Lawrence has a great set shot routine.

[Dee-licious 1,867]

How long does someone have to be on the LTI list so we can bring in Nicholson.

8 weeks

After Thursday Im happy just to see a win doesnt matter who its against

I'm just wary of the posters who will probably not watch the game but will come on later to say "oh man (insert player's name here) shud totes com in 'cos he got 30 tuchez n wud b so beta dan da deez playaz."

Obviously I'm not saying that players can't play well in a big win (if indeed that's how this turns out - which it very well may not) but I just think people should be tempered in their measure and understand that it's a better team with AFL listed players at home against a stand alone club.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Casey just warming up hopefully - Scorpions lead 6.2.38 to Dolphins 3.1.19.

Frankston 3.1.19

Goals Bate 2 Gent Lawrence Newton Nicholson

Q1 was a dominant performance by Casey but they faced some really good ball presure from Frankston. Gawn and Spencer have looked strong in the ruck but Spencer hasn't done as much around the ground.

The forward structure has looked good, Newton and Bate presenting well. The backline has been strong but what I have really been impressed with is the midfield let by Nicholson, Jetta and to a lesser extent Joel Macdonald.

Fev has supported the boys well and has given a contest but he hasnt been the focal point up forward.

Jetta 8 possies, Nicholson 7 Maric 7 Newton 6 Bate 5

[Pipefitter 2,085]

I think jetta and bate are looking likely to come back in.

Has blease got poor skills or is he just running out of puff by the time he makes a disposal?

Blease has looked very ordinary. Has great acceleration and runs through the lines, but his disposal is woeful.

[mordja 187]

anyone know what Petterd went off with? Commentators suggested dislocated knee (he was knocking his own knee from the outside).....perhaps someone with more medical knowledge than me can explain if a knee dislocation and coming back on are mutually exclusive or not...
