    Three Quarter Time

    Casey Scorpions 5.7.37

    Box Hill Hawks 2.6.18

    Greater desperation from the visitors but a late goal steadied the Scorpions. With the rain easing it's game on.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks KC. Your work is much appreciated.

    Bater looks to be pressing for elevation based on recent form in the Scorps. Makes things difficult for selectors but a nice problem to have.

    Bull to return in Darwin possibly? Ooh...

    Just keep him away from the docks where they're loading up all the other live cattle...

    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?

    Did Tom McDonald play?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
