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?

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
