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?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
