Roost It

Now don't take this the wrong way but they have been underdone since we drafted them!

If underdone is out injured for long periods of time since drafted....well yeah they've been underdone !

Yes that is what I mean

IMO they have been the big disappointments in our drafting efforts so far.

If you cannot get / stay on the park it does not matter how good you are.

I hope we are not seeing two players who never get to show their wares because they are injury prone.

Well, thank god for this match ... at least something to look forward to this weekend.

That's what I said to the guys at work. I'm excited to take the boys down there to watch scully and have a kick on the ground!

Well i expect Scully to come in for someone..

Trengove will come in

I still think Strauss is better than Nicholson and Bennell so he'll come in with an extra game of match fitness.

Be really good game to be at tomorrow and i'm looking forward to it.

Petrol tank not so much

Someone on another thread said this game is more important to our future than last night. Looking at some of the potential matchups they might be right.

Gawn V Hudson

Howe v Gilbee

Blease v Djerrkura

McDonald v Hahn

Strauss v Sherman

Massive test for some of our kids against hardened mature bodies with plenty of AFL experience. On top of that Scully returns. My plans for this arvo have just changed, can't miss this.

Can anyone tell me if this is at the main Werribee oval, the one near the river, can't find the address.

Reported on SEN that Lake and Gilbee are coming into the Footscray side to replace two injured players; Hargreave and somebody else.

Yes furious D i typed in Avalon Airport couldn't find the oval anywhere.

It's previously known as Chirnside Park right on the river!

Is that Tom McNamara named as rover? Is he playing midfield now?

I always liked TMac. Maybe he should get a game. Don't know if we have enough spots on the list for another rookie (Newton (what a waste), Evans and Nicholson have three already), but he has played a lot of good football for Casey in 2010 and 2011 with no reward. Meanwhile, Bennell, Morton and potentially Dunn continually get given starts in the seniors without doing anything for Casey.

Some changes to the Williamstown line up made necessay by the withdrawal from the Bulldogs of Ryan Hargrave and Brodie Moles due to injury. This means that Brian Lake and Lindsay Gilbee come out of today's Seagulls' team.

In the reserves Williamstown leads 10.9.69 to Casey Scorpions 8.1.49 at half time.

Good to see Tom Scully warming up for his first game for the season even if it's for Casey and not Melbourne. If he's up to it he'll get more than the obligatory half a game that many get when returning from long term injury.

In the ressies, the Seagulls ran away with it in the end.

Casey Scorpions 4.0.24 8.1.49 9.4.58 13.5.83

Williamstown 5.6.36 10.9.69 19.11.125 23.13.151

Need to hear some positives from Casey

Blease and Scully are playing in the same side for the first time, lets hope the scully can extract the pill and put it out in front of Blease to put on his afterburners..... That is what I want to hear.

Remember guys our injuries cascade down to Casey.

If we are short 8- 10 players so are Casey from 3 weeks ago.

I went to this same game last year with what looks like a similar result.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
