I bet you would be eqaully disappointed if a fully fit and firing Scully was running around for Casey for a month, with 8 weeks on the injury list being the minimum when you upgrade a rookie.... so he could have been left stranded.

This teel me that the club was possibly optimistic about the extent of the injury at the beginning

Club wasnt going to do that to their number one assett

I'm not blaming anyone, and obviously the Club were optomistic that he would be back with the initial 6 weeks. It doesn't stop me from being a bit disappointed about the fact that the injury is going to end up taking more than 10 wekks, which in that time we could have been playing a rookie should one put his hand up (ie Michael Evans).

Not at all.

You don't promote rookies for the sake of it.

You promote them once they have earnt a game and you are selecting them in the AFL side to play that week.

None of our rookies have done that yet.

Some of them have shown good form, but I doubt any would have been selected for the 1s at this stage if them were on the primary list.

I'm not certain, but I believe there is an initial cost of upgrading a rookie, and then the match payments increase also.

As far as replacing Grimes or Spencer, if they earn it and we intend to play them, upgrade them, of course.

Fitzpatrick has only done an ankle from what I understand.

Fitzpatrick has been reported to be out for 6-8 weeks. If it is 8 weeks, we have the ability to replace him don't we?

I don't know what more Michael Evans can do to be a genuine chance of being called up. From all reports, and I am only going by reports, he has done a lot more than any of our senior-listed midfielders, and consistently has been in Casey's best for well over a month. When 2 weeks ago some were whinging about our midfield, and calling for players to be dropped, I would've thought that Evans would have to be a huge chance of getting a call up. And now we have Grimes and Trengove out, our midfield is missing 2 players, who is going to replace them?

The ruck stocks is a different story. According to your theory, Robbie Campbell WILL NOT be promoted, as he has only played 1 half of a game for the Casey reserves. Even though we have Jamar, Spencer and Fitzpatrick out for extended periods, I'm thinking that based on your logic, Campbell wont be considered to replace any of these guys. Gawn has played some excellent games at Casey/Casey reserves, and is on the Primary list, so that would count RC out?

What about when it comes Round 12 when every club can elevate 1 rookie. Do we not participate in this because, according to you, none of them would have been selected in the seniors?

I'm confused by your thoughts, sorry!

This should be the final concern from a football club perspective and not sure what the point is of including it??

I'm not sure anyone promotes just for the sake of it. Circumstance may see it bought forward from what the more ideal approach would be but I'd suggest the success of the rookie list etc shows that 'taking the punt', due to the circumstance actually pays off.

My uncle spotted him out on Saturday night having dinner at a family function in Caulfield. When he asked a family member "if that was Scully & what is the occasion, the family member confirmed that it was Tom and he was moving to Sydney next year & this was his going away dinner. He then saw my uncles jaw on the ground and told him that it was his cousin's birthday, engagement or something. He was clearly having him on & had the biggest grin on his face!!

Just as he was walking out my uncle asked how long he was out for & is he happy there!! 3 weeks & loves the place!! He went home a happy man.

I actually heard that he went to the 2011 World Handball Championships in Sweden. He met with Ulrik Wilbek, the Danish Coach, and I'm to believe research is still being conducted in regards to the Scully family tree/any Danish connections. It is believed he is considering this sport due to the many issues/concerns surrounding Australian sport, and in particular, the recent form of the GWS in the Foxtel Cup, as well as the uncertainty of if Black Caviar can make it 13 from 13 this weekend.

Thanks for that. Made me smile. Obtuseness is a much under-rated art.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
