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.

Grimes and Garland anyone.

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

Goals

Casey Scorpions Waite 7 Hill Petropoulos 2 Bell Purves

Williamstown Gray 4 Conway Cravino Kefford 3 Johannisen Morris Purton-Smith 2 Caruso Carr Fogarty Panos

Best

Casey Scorpions Waite Riseley Hill Bolton Weekes Salton

Williamstown Carr Caruso Cravino Conway Rampe Grossman

Any radio coverage of todays game?

I find the VFL coverage on the net and radio very disappointing. I follow the WAFL very keenly and they have live updates like on AFL website and radio coverage of every game on the net.

updates would be great...

just want to hear scully dominatin

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.

Update from DemonsHQ Twitter:

"Scorps 0.1 to Williamstown 4.5 29"

oh yep good stuff

i think its time this weekend to ignore footy and hit the booze

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
