With the Scorpions a game out of the top four and only five games left in the home and away season, Casey faces up to yet another must win game, this time against Geelong in the curtain raiser at Skilled Stadium starting at 10.40am on Saturday morning. The Cats are out of the eight but their recent form has been good and they have come close to causing an upset or two.

There should be some interesting names in the Scorpions line up with Aaron Davey likely to return through the seniors and Austin Wonaeamirri returning after spending the past seven weeks with family on the Tiwi Islands on compassionate leave dealing with personal matters following the death of his father Matthew and mentor Maurice Rioli. Aussie might however, have to start in the reserves due to the fact that he has just resumed training and may lack the fitness for a game in the seniors.

Star midfielder Danny Nicholls is almost certain to play his first game of the season against the Cats after playing the two games in the VFL reserves in his comeback from injury.

The Scorpions' reserves are on track to play finals for the first time in more than a decade. They are in fourth position and play Frankston just 13 days after their last match resulted in a massive percentage booster. This time the game's on neutral territory at Victoria Park.

I hope to be able to post the teams for both Casey games later this evening.

A few notes:-

• Neville Jetta and Michael Evans were two of Casey's best players in the midfield a fortnight ago and both will be sorely missed. Evans has a back injury but it seems Nev is injured again. Bad luck for both players as another good game at this level would have come close to ensuring their promotion.

• Austin Wonaeamirri is obviously not ready to play yet. He's missed a fair bit of training and perhaps might need to undergo what would virtually be another pre season, so it suggests that he probably won't make it back to the AFL this year.

• Jack Fitzpatrick in the centre for the reserves?

• Casey's Danny Nicholls back in the team after a long lay off and co skipper Kyle Matthews starts again in the twos. He deserves a bit of luck to go his way and I hope he gets it.

Without Bate and Dunn I'd be really keen to see how Lucas Cook goes playing as a true CHF.

Besides that strong games from Davey (even a half), Bartram and Macdonald should see them return to the seniors

Disastrous start to the day with the Cats bursting out of the blocks and kicking ten goals straight.

Casey Scorpions 4.1.25

Geelong 10.0.60

Troy Selwood has five goals.

I thought the game didn't start untill 2:10 ;)

Looking forward to some player updates KC. Thanks.

KC, can you explain what's happening in the game. Are we getting belted in the middle??? Is it our defence. It's amazing this is happening given some of the guys we have in there like MacDonald, Davey, Warnock, Bennel, Blease, Bartram etc etc

The lack of pure midfielders in the list of players you mentioned probably explains most of it.

They definitely miss Evans and Jetta in the middle, that's for sure!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
