A great last quarter in the rain for Casey who run out winners by 43 points to get themselves back in the race for a top four placing.

Casey Scorpions 2.2.14 3.4.22 5.7.37 10.10.70

Box Hill Hawks 0.0.0 1.1.7 2.6.18 3.9.27

Goals

Casey Scorpions Bate McGough 2 Cook Dunn Evans Fevola Petropoulos Wall

Box Hill Hawks Hoegel Monkhorst Pattison

Best

Casey Scorpions McNamara Gawn Bate Mohr Tapscott Fevola

Box Hill Hawks Ladson Pattison Duryea Gibson Jackson Mirra

Tom McNamara revelled in the conditions and had a fantastic game in the wet and the wind with 31 disposals. Max Gawn displayed great agility for a big man and he had an outstanding game in the ruck. Matthew Bate was in good touch and Luke Tapscott was strong and tough. Both had 22 touches.

Reckon Mohr is a fair chance to get picked up by someone next year?

Tall defender, 195cm 98kg, only turns 23 in October. Someone like Richmond wouldn't be hurt by taking a punt on him. eels

Seems to be mentioned in the bests a lot.

One of the prominent melbourne clubs had a recruiting scout at one of caseys recent home games whose sole job it was to monitor mohr, so yes it's fair to say hes on recruiters radars

With Mohr its all about disposal from what I've seen of him. Big enough, super quick and likes to run with the footy, the question is do you back your coaches and him to work together to get those skills up.

I watched the games down at Casey (and froze my nuts off) and thought some of the Dees were okay.

Some quick observations:

Maric - Too good to be playing at this level. He is very good at ground level and was a cut above in the wet.

Bate - He looks quick at this level. Will no doubt have some trade interest as he is good enough to play AFL.

Dunn - Did some nice things, and reminded me that when he is going he is good, but when he is quiet he is invisible.

Tappy- Has to be one of the biggest built guys going around. Looked a god among men out there. Got though without any hiccups and could be back in red and blue soon. Hammy seems to be good as he did drive a few long kicks out of defense. He looked good.

Gawn - He is developing into quite a footballer. Can see him pushing for genuine selection next season barring any setbacks. He was a monster in the ruck, and is clean by foot for a big guy. Very excited by Max Gawn.

Bartram - Pretty much what you would expect from Barty. Contest, run into space and tackle. Over and over again without fail.

Blease - Did some nice things, got some footy but didn't wow me in the wet. Won't be selected on that performance.

Cook - One of those "coming soon" attractions. Ran into space, kicked a goal and looked like he belonged. Will still require some more time to develop.

Warnock - Rock solid in defense. Can spoil and mark. Still question marks over ability to move the ball on and switch play cleanly.

McNamara - Didn't think he had a future ... he was one of our best today. Would like to see how he could go with a quicker tempo game, but in a wet slow game he was strong, clean and just about everywhere the footy was.

Evans - Works hard, and is a smart footballer. Sometimes his disposal undoes his hard work. (it was wet though!)

Bennell - Should have dominated ... didn't. Rate him as a footballer, but there is something missing with Jamie.

Davis - Did some nice things, but needs some serious time at Casey.

Campbell - Was solid, would like to see how he goes in the Casey ones.

That's about it. Kitchin Monkhorst was good for the Hawks. Not sure why he isn't on an AFL list be he certainly has something about him. Son of Damien Monkhorst so he has some height to him.

Same IQ as his old man?

    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

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
