Casey Scorpions - five games to go ...

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

The Casey Scorpions have the bye this week with five home and away matches to go before the finals.

The remaining games are against Geelong @Skilled Stadium - the curtain raiser to Geelong v Melbourne, Sandringham (H), Coburg (A), Werribee (H) and Northern Bullants (H).

It's a reasonable fixture but the Scorps lost to  three of the above the first time around and the Cats at Skilled won't be easy.

Still, the team has its destiny in its own hands as it has to get past Werribee (6th) and the Bullants (4th) to make the top four at the end of the year.

    Hopefully for the last 5 games, Cook can have a go playing as the focal point. Fev can play second fiddle and help Cook to learn his craft in the position he'll be playing in the future

    The weekend's round hasn't changed things very much and Casey's top four chances got a boost with Box Hill beating the Bullants.

    The Scorps have a tough away game at Skilled Stadium against Geelong Reserves this week (curtain raiser to the main game involving Melbourne).

    It's likely we'll see Aaron Davey and possible Austin Wonaeamirri in action so I'm urging Demon fans who have tickets to the game to get there early and support the team.

    The reserves have an interesting match up against Frankston at Frankston on Saturday morning. The teams met in the week before the bye and both had this weekend off before playing each other again at the same venue 13 days later. The young Scorps won easily and let's hope they can repeat the dose this week at both levels (a Demons upset wouldn't go astray either).

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
