Sandringham v Casey Scorpions


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

Petterd, Maric, Bate - 3 forward who always seem to dominate at Casey but just cant quite get the business done in AFL level.

Bate has had enough time, needs to go. Maric and Petterd have a future.

Bate kicks another from the boundary on 50 m mark after a strong mark.

Casey wins by 10 points.

I was only there for the second half but the best over that period of the MFC listed players were Bate, MacDonald, Warnock and Cook.

Blease had a shocker and Dunn and Maric barely sighted. Petterd flashed in and out and seemed to play mostly on the ball.

Campbell is a very big solid unit. Was ok in the ruck. Seemed to lack a yard of pace. Played most of the second half.

A good weekend all round... im not giving up on bate yet different to newton who is def useless. i can remember bate working his arse off as our only forward in our real [censored] times with repeated long hard leads and good hands. still worth persevering with in my opinion.

Hey All,

Went down to beach rd oval to watch game. Love the reports for others for a VFL game, so thought I would return the favour. Bear with me though as it is a) my first report and B) I had my two little guys with me today (2 and 4) so I probably missed a bit. Anyway, here is my summation of the Melbourne players.

Cook - wow. First time I have had a good look at him and I was super impressed. He seems like he has put on a tiny bit of size since earlier in the year but what I loved was his use of the ball. Exceptional. Not overly quick at all but has such great awareness he does not need to be. He set up number of goals with some exceptional foot skills on both sides of the body, even though it was blowing an absolute gale! Moves so smoothly. He will be a player and worth the wait. I would like to know his stats today as he never seems to waste a possession and he does not need as much of it as some of his teammates to impact a game as a result.

Blease - you know I did not notice him that much and was surprised his numbers were so high. Had a few errant kicks but he provides great run and carry from defence and really links well with his teammates. Tackling was solid and he certainly got involved with some strong work at stoppages.

Campbell - took me a while to work out who the big Scorps ruckman was actually. Competed well but obviously a bit underdone. Not an easy game for the big blokes with the wind I guess.

Pettard - did some really smart things and could have kicked more goals if it was not such a windy day. Worked really hard and worked up the ground. Locked it in the forward line as well.

McDonald - big strong young guy. I really like him - pretty skilled for a big bloke. Links well, defends well. May get a run sooner rather than later.

Bate - too good at this level. worked hard and provided a target (played deepwith fev most of the game). Good game with a few goals. Also a cult figure for my little guys who screamed out 'baber' non-stop for a few minutes before losing complete interest in the game. Maybe they thought he was ronald mcdonald - I dunno but he has won a few fans at our house and we have talked about him since getting home as well!

Warnock - gee he was good in the second half. A number of spoils when sandy looked like getting into scoring range. reads the play and rebounds well. Good game.

Dunn - hardly saw him. Doesn't work hard enough to get into the game. I think he will disappointed with that.

Maric - did a few clever centering kicks to give his teamates an opportunity when going forward. Also played behind a number of times when he was played deep forward and got outmarked - a quiet game.

On form on today only (and diregarding matchups and previous Casey form), I think Blease, McDonald, Cook and Warnock would be most likely to earn a call up.

Good to see Blease has been freed up into the midfield. Not sure if he's done enough to dislodge Evans yet but it's promising.

I wouldn't want to make too many changes to the team that played on Friday but of the guys playing Petterd really is AFL level. He's done a job on Shaw before and if Sylvia is injured I wouldn't mind sneaking him back in. With a half decent forward structure he really can play well as a defensive forward. Just interesting to see if he's redeemed himself yet because his work rate was poor the last few weeks at AFL level.

I tend to agree master. I'd like to see him win more contested footy, and to get to the right places intuitively, before he gets That game.

I assume 53 was Troy Davis and I thought he showed promise also. Good leg speed for a big bloke ( not that much difference in size with McDonald ). I have to say that whilst they are still green, they seem to know how to play the game, throw their bodies in and when they fill out could be a very handy couple of bigger bodies. No doubt Cook has the footy smarts but I thought his first half was only so so. Second half much better with more grunt/purpose and less 'pretty stuff'. Thought Blease vg with high work rate and Maric more than ok too. Warnock and Bate kill it at this level. Red Nut has some toe and thinks, works hard and you can see why they took him. I liked his energy. Xavier Clark a good player for Sandy.

No doubt all 29 touches went sideways:

As I said, was only there for the second half. In my time there I saw Blease make three really basic clangers, and in the third quarter right in front of us rally seemed to lack run and chase. Maybe he ran out of gas. Either way, he is not ready for call up just yet

Blease was really good in this game. He was scintillating in the first quarter against the wind with his hard work, run and willingness to take the game on. He was quieter in the second half, but that means that his second half was only 'good' rather than 'great'. I'm sure the club want to give him a chance to develop before they elevate him to the AFL, but if he keeps up this sort of form the club may not have a choice but to give him a game. The improvement he has made this year, due mainly to getting consistent games free from injury and improved fitness, has been wonderful.

But everyone is entitled to their opinions. However I doubt DeesPower is going to have too many supporters re: Blease.

It was the first time that I have seen Davis play and I think he looks every inch a future AFL player. He is strong, really clean, good defensive skills and uses the ball well with composure. But most of all he is really quick. Serious speed. I think we've got a good one there. He looks a bit like Tom McNamara, and it was amusing to hear team mates accidentally calling him 'Tommy' all day! I dare say that it won't be long until they start calling McNamara 'Troy' instead.

Thankyou deeluded you are correct. Anyhow he was played ok for Sandy. Tommy Mac runs around and looks a bit untidy at times, but he has a crack. Some nice heavy work today. I like him too. Good size and I hope he comes on. Still learning for sure, but sometimes with these bigger blokes they can take a bit longer.

I turned up to Sandy for the second half. Of the Melbourne players, Pettered seemed to get the most of the ball. Bate was good, but i have had enough of him playing mediocre games for the dees. Blease must have got a lot of his disposals in the first half. The second half he was only so so, as were many of the players. I only saw him kick the ball on a few occasions, and they mostly hit the target. However, with the wind, it was difficult to kick the ball well today.

Warnock would be a great player, but he seems to panic when he gets the ball, this is what stops him from making it at the elite level, he was very reliable today otherwise.

    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

    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
