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

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
