Casey Scorpions v Collingwood

Featured Replies

 

Michael Stockdale, returning to form after last year's knee injury, has a long run, passes to McNamara for a long goal. Then Mohr bounces one through from a long way out.

Collingwood 1.4.10 5.6.36

Goals Dunn 4 Cook Maric 2 Fevola McNamara Mohr Stockdale

Game marred by what looks like a bad knee injury to Brad Dick


Dunn, Maric, Petterd, all look a class above, with maric and petterd combining well a few times.

And cook looks like he is going to be special, getting into the right spaces and marking well.

all of melbournes listed players are contributing, and look to be streets ahead of this collingwood vfl side.

 

CAsey are playing like Melbourne did last week. I interesting to see Rob Campbell in full flight. Is giving Casey mid field an arm chair ride

Edited by DeesPower

Given Petterd and Bate are playing for Casey, that leaves Bartram, and I would assume if he's fit he isn't going to sit around as an emergency, and thus he will be in for Evans (well, he could be in for Jones, Gawn or Jetta, but I can't imagine any of them making way for him).

Can't say I'm surprised, but also can't say I'm happy. I'd rather Evans have kept his spot and Bartram had a week in the VFL to tune up. Moreover I, unlike others, don't see Bartram as a long term best 22, nor even a short term one, so I'm not one to rush him back in. Having said that, he plays his role, and I guess Evans hasn't exactly been dominating.

Kelvin Lawrence injured again.

Robbie Campbell playing most of game time in the ruck guys?


Ricky Bobby will be back at AFL level very soon. He has been dominant today.

Lucas Cook is also looking great. Come 2012 he'll be a regular at AFL level. There's no doubt in my mind he'll make the grade.

This raises a question in my mind;

Hypothetically, if we were to acquire another tall forward, say Tom Lynch from GC - would you play all 3 in the forward line (Watts, Cook, Lynch) or would you play Watts on a wing, or HBF or something?

I'd be thinking Cook deep FF, Lynch CHF and Watts on a wing.

It's just that, Watts & Cook are very close to the same age and have a lot of years ahead of them. It's conceivable that we will have another gun forward pop up over that time and will find ourselves with this kind of "problem".

Robbie Campbell playing most of game time in the ruck guys?

Campbell is still being handled conservatively at the moment. He's probably getting about 60% of game time and, when off, he spends a bit of time with the trainers being massaged and doing stretches.

Casey has started the quarter strongly with a free kick and a great shot at goal from Tom McNamara on the boundary followed by a fantastic snap from Blease on the run. Dunn has just sold some candy for his fifth and, all of a sudden, it's Casey by 53 points.

Beautiful mark to Cook for his fourth.

Petterd's game attracts a couple of blemishes with poor disposal down back. The defence is becoming sloppy and Pies have kicked three of the last four goals.


Unselfish play by Dunn gets the ball to Maric who gets a 50 metre penalty. Goal!!!

Siren and a 7 goal win to Casey which keeps the Scorps in the top four.

Ricky Petterd with in excess of 30 disposals is easily the best on ground.

Some sloppy play from from Casey has let Collingwood in for some late goals. Lead is 36 points but too many turnovers in the last quarter.

ABC commentators absolutely creaming over Cook... one seems to have ties with him, and mention that "Cooks manager is very excited by his prospect" anyone hear this comment??

Fev has also been good, playing a great team game

Commentators also saying how good Warnock is and that ALOT of AFL clubs would kill to have him play FB, he is good but i find he struggles at AFL (a little), dominates VFL tho

Sam Blease is a jet plane ... how was his run from HB to HF.... slaughtered the kick on the end however

Cook kicked four and should have had more (and that rotten Fevola stole a mark off him in the second). The stats have him at only 81 kg but it looks like he can play football. I'm happy to have him spend the rest of the year at Casey. He's got good hands, good feet and a good head. He just needs to bulk up and improve the defensive side of his game.

Blease did some very good things; maybe he needs to copy Stockdale and increase his work rate.

Garland was quiet, yet he will probably play next week.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
